If, after the car wash, you remove the wax
from the windscreen and wiper rubbers, this
will prevent smearing and reduce wiper noise.
Information on using a high-pressure cleaner
& WARNING Risk of an accident when using
high-pressure cleaners with round-spray
nozzles
The water jet can cause externally invisible
damage.
Components damaged in this way may unex-
pectedly fail.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner with
#
round-spray nozzles.
Have damaged tyres or chassis parts
#
replaced immediately.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, observe the fol-
lowing when using a high-pressure cleaner:
The key is at a minimum distance of 3 m away
R
from the vehicle. Otherwise the tailgate or a
door could open unintentionally.
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 temperature of the high-
pressure cleaner must not exceed 60°C.
Observe the information on the correct dis-
R
tance in the equipment manufacturer's opera-
tor manual.
Do not direct the nozzle of the high-pressure
R
cleaner directly at sensitive parts, such as
tyres, gaps, electrical component parts, bat-
teries, illuminants and louvers.
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.
#
ohne
Wash the vehicle with lukewarm water using a
#
soft car sponge. When doing so, do not
expose the vehicle to direct sunlight.
Carefully hose the vehicle off with water and
#
dry using a chamois.
