WARNING
The water jet of circular-jet nozzles (dirt
grinders) can cause damage not visible
from the outside to tyres or chassis com-
ponents. Components damaged in this way
can unexpectedly fail. There is a risk of an
accident.
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with
circular-jet nozzles to clean the vehicle.
Have damaged tyres or chassis compo-
nents replaced immediately.
!
Do not use acidic wheel cleaning prod-
ucts to remove brake dust. This could dam-
age wheel bolts and brake components.
! Do not park up your vehicle for a long
period of time immediately after cleaning,
particularly after cleaning the wheel rim
with wheel cleaner. Wheel cleaner may
lead to increased corrosion of the brake
discs and pads. You should therefore drive
for a few minutes after cleaning. By heat-
ing up the brakes, the brake discs and pads
dry. The vehicle can then be parked up for
a long period of time.
