Vehicle care
Window glass
The window glass can normally be cleaned using only a
sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil, grease, dead insects,
etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, soft
cloth. Never use the same cloth to wipe the window glass as
would be used to wipe the paintwork; wax from the painted
surfaces could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparency
and visibility.
CAUTION
!
● If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place the
wiper switch lever in the "
deactivate the rain sensor before washing the wind-
screen. Otherwise, the wipers will operate in the
presence of water spray on the windscreen and may
get damaged as a result.
NOTE
● To clean the inside of the tailgate window, always use a
soft cloth and wipe the window glass along the demister
heater element so as not to cause damage.

Engine compartment
Clean the engine compartment at the beginning and end of
winter. Pay particular attention to flanges, crevices and periph-
eral parts where dust containing road chemicals and other cor-
rosive materials might collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on the roads in your area,
clean the engine compartment at least every three months.
Never spray or splash water on the electrical components in the
engine compartment, as this may cause damage.
Do not bring the nearby parts, the plastic parts and so on into
contact with sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may
crack, stain or discolour them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth, chamois or the
like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent then immedi-
ately rinse the affected parts with plenty of water.
