Cleaning and Vehicle Care
Observe all safety precautions on cleaning
products, they can be harmful; do not drink
fluids, keep them out of reach of children and
avoid contact with the eyes.
External Care
Washing Your Car
Some high pressure cleaning systems will
penetrate door, window and sunroof seals,
and damage lock mechanisms. DO NOT aim
water jets directly at components that might
be easily damaged.
Water or moisture on parts of the braking
system will reduce braking performance,
this may increase the risk of accidents.
Ensure the vehicle power system is OFF when
washing your car, there may be risk of injury
or accident.
MAINTENANCE
DO NOT use a high pressure hose to clean
the engine compartment – damage to the
car's electronic systems may occur.
In order to preserve the paint finish on your car, please
observe the following care points:
•
DO NOT use hot water to wash the car.
•
DO NOT use detergents or washing up liquid.
• In hot weather, DO NOT wash the car in direct sunlight.
• When using a hose, DO NOT aim the water directly
at a window, door or sunroof seals, or through wheel
apertures onto the brake components.
If the car is particularly dirty, use a hose to flush grime and
grit from the bodywork, prior to washing. Then, wash the
car using cold or lukewarm water containing a good quality
wash and wax shampoo. Always use plenty of water to
ensure that grit is flushed from the surface and not ground
into the paintwork. After washing, rinse the bodywork
with clean water and dry off with a chamois leather.
