NOTICE
High-pressure cleaning equipment or steam
cleaners may damage the following components:
– Convertible top
– Convertible top element (Targa)
– Tires
– Logos, emblems, decorative and protective films
– Painted surfaces
– Alternator
– Electrical components and plug connections in
the engine compartment
– ParkAssist sensors
– (Radar) sensors of the Adaptive Cruise Control

No vehicle and convertible top is absolutely leak-
proof. Water can sometimes leak into the vehicle
interior when cleaning the vehicle.
e Follow the operating instructions provided by the
equipment manufacturer.
e Do not use high-pressure cleaners or steam
cleaners to clean decorative films.
e When cleaning protective films, do not aim high-
pressure cleaners directly at the edges of the
films.
e Always observe a minimum distance of 20 in.
(50 cm) during cleaning.
e Never use high-pressure cleaning equipment or
steam cleaners with round-jet nozzles. A high-
pressure cleaning device or steam cleaner fitted
with a round-jet nozzle will damage your vehicle.
Tires are particularly susceptible to damage.
e Do not point the cleaning jet directly at any of the
aforementioned components.
e Always turn off the engine and allow it to cool
down before working in the engine
compartment.
e Never point the cleaning jet directly into open-
ings, e. g. spark plug shafts and air cleaner
housing or at the air cleaner. Cover the openings
before washing.
Washing your vehicle
The best way to protect your vehicle against dam-
aging environmental effects is regular washing and
preservation. The longer grit, road and industrial
dust, insect residue, bird excrement, tree secretion
(e.g. resin, pollen), etc. remain on the vehicle, the
more harmful their effect. No vehicle and convertible
top is absolutely leak-proof. Water can sometimes
leak into the vehicle interior when cleaning the
vehicle.
