Information on using a high-pressure cleaner
& WARNING Risk of an accident when
using high-pressure cleaners with circu‐
lar jet nozzles
The water jet of a circular jet nozzle (dirt
grinder) can cause externally invisible dam‐
age to the tyres or chassis parts.
Components damaged in this way may unex‐
pectedly fail.
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with
#
circular jet nozzles to clean the vehicle.
Have damaged tyres or chassis parts
#
replaced immediately.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, observe the fol‐
lowing when using a high-pressure cleaner:
keep the key at least 3 m away from the vehi‐
R
cle. Otherwise the boot lid could open unin‐
tentionally.
maintain a distance of at least 30 cm to the
R
vehicle.
vehicles with decorative foil: parts of your
R
vehicle are covered with a decorative foil.
Maintain a distance of at least 70 cm
between the foil-covered parts of the vehicle
and the nozzle of the high-pressure cleaner.
Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around whilst cleaning. The water tempera‐
ture of the high-pressure cleaner must not
exceed 60 °C.
observe the information on the correct dis‐
R
tance in the equipment manufacturer's oper‐
ating instructions.
do not point the nozzle of the high-pressure
R
cleaner directly at sensitive parts such as
tyres, slits, electrical components, batteries,
light bulbs and ventilation slots.
Maintenance and care 423
Washing the vehicle by hand
Observe the legal requirements, e.g. in a number
of countries, washing by hand is only permitted
in specially designated wash bays.
Use a mild cleaning agent, e.g. car shampoo.
#
Wash the vehicle with lukewarm water using
#
a soft car sponge. When doing so, do not
expose the vehicle to direct sunlight.
Carefully hose the vehicle off with water and
#
dry using a chamois. Take care not to point
the water jet directly towards the air inlet
grille.
