Windscreen Cleaning
Use a proprietary glass cleaning
product on the windscreen and other
windows. Clean the wiper blade with
windscreen wash solvent to prevent
juddering and smearing.
Alloy Road Wheels
It is recommended that the alloy road
wheels are washed with the same car
shampoo as is used to wash the bod-
ywork. Use a brush having only nylon
bristles. During the winter months, par-
ticularly when salt has been used on
the roads for the dispersal of snow and
ice, wash thoroughly to remove accu-
mulated road filth from the wheels and
tires.
CAUTION: The chemicals in road
wheel cleaning solutions can dam-
age the surface finish of the wheel
rims.
Exterior Lighting
Headlamps and all other light units
should only be washed with lukewarm
water and a proprietary car shampoo,
using a clean non scratching sponge,
N
never use household detergent or
washing up liquid.
NOTE: After washing, the head-
lamps and rear lamps may tempo-
rarily have condensation on the in-
side of the lens. This is normal and
will slowly dissipate once the lamps
have been switched on.
Park Assist System Sensors
As recommended for the vehicle body,
only handwash the sensors.
Park Assist Camera Lens
As recommended for the vehicle body,
only handwash the camera.
CAUTION: Automatic car washers
and jet washers may damage the
sensors and camera lens.
See page 230 for further information.
VEHICLE CARE
Paintwork Polishing
After normal washing and drying, the
application of a good quality liquid pol-
ish will restore the original paint lustre.
Higher gloss of the paint finish and
added protection against contamina-
tion can be obtained by the use of a
wax polish. However, this can only be
used successfully on a clean surface,
from which the previous application has
been removed.
Do not apply wax or polish on plastic
and rubber trims. If it is necessary to
use a degreasant on plastic and rubber,
only rub with light pressure using a soft
sponge.
Polishing trim mouldings could damage
the surface layer.
Polishers that contain abrasives must
not be used.
