sheets:
Do not use high-pressure cleaners.
●
● Do not use scrapers to remove ice or snow
from the sheets.
● Do not polish the adhesive sheets.
Do not use dirty cloths or sponges.
●

●
uct and a soft, dry cloth.
Moisten the camera lens using a standard
●
alcohol-based glass cleaning agent and

●
snow and ice from the reverse camera lens,
as it could crack the lens.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the
●
lens.
Vehicle paint maintenance
Regular waxing protects the paintwork.
You need to apply wax to your vehicle if water
does not form small drops and run off the
paintwork when it is clean.
Good quality hard wax products are available
at your Technical Service.
Regular wax applications help to protect the
paintwork from environmental contaminants

page 166. It is also effective in protecting
against minor scratches.
Even if a wax solution is used regularly in the
vehicle washing tunnel, it is advisable to pro-
tect the paint with a hard wax coating at least
twice a year.
Polishing the paintwork
Polishing is only necessary if the paint has
lost its shine, and the gloss cannot be
brought back by applying wax. Polishing
products can be purchased in your Technical
Service.
The vehicle must be waxed after polishing if
the polish used does not contain wax com-

paint maintenance.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the paintwork:
Do not use polishes and hard wax on pain-
●
ted parts with a matt finish or on plastic
parts.
Do not polish your vehicle in a sandy or
●
dusty environment.
Caring for plastic parts
If normal washing fails to clean plastic parts,
clean them with approved solvent-free plas-
tic cleaning and care products.
CAUTION
The use of liquid air freshener directly over
●
the air vents of the vehicle may damage the
plastic parts if the liquid is accidentally spil-
led.
● Cleaning products which contain solvents
will damage the material.
