Chapter overview
This chapter contains instructions regarding the care of the vehicle.
At the end of the chapter there is a checklist of measures you must carry out
if you are not going to use the vehicle for an extended period of time.

External care

General

Standard external care consists of regular washing. The use and the envi-
ronmental conditions will determine how often the vehicle needs to be
washed. Wash the vehicle more frequently in areas which are exposed to
heavy air pollution or heavy traffic or roads treated with de-icing salts. If the
vehicle is exposed to salty and humid air (coastal areas, humid climates),
wash the vehicle more frequently.
Do not park under trees if at all possible. The resin-like discharge which
many trees secrete, give the paintwork a matt look and can promote the on-
set of corrosion.
Wash off bird droppings straight away and thoroughly, as the acid it contains
is extremely corrosive.

Washing with a high-pressure cleaner


Do not clean the tyres with a high-pressure cleaner. The tyres might be
damaged.

Do not spray external applications (deco-films) directly with the high-
pressure cleaner. The external applications could come off.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner, observe the oper-
ating manual of the high-pressure cleaner.
When cleaning with the nozzle for circular jet between the vehicle and the
cleaning nozzle, maintain a minimum distance of approx. 700 mm.
Take into consideration that the jet of water comes out of the cleaning noz-
zle with pressure. The vehicle may be damaged by incorrect handling of the
high-pressure cleaner. The temperature of the water should not be above
60 °C. Keep the jet of water in constant movement during the washing pro-
cess. Do not direct the water jet at clearances, built-in electrical parts, plugs,
seals, the ventilation grill or the skylights. The vehicle may be damaged or
water may enter the interior.
