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 tailgate 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.
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.
