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 could
open unintentionally.
Maintain a distance of at least 30 cm to the
R
vehicle.
Vehicles with decorative films: Parts of your
R
vehicle are covered with a decorative film.
Maintain a distance of at least 70 cm between
the film-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 oper-
ating instructions.
Maintenance and care 355
Do not direct the nozzle of the high-pressure
R
cleaner directly at sensitive parts, e.g. tyres,
gaps, electrical components, batteries, illumi-
nants or louvres.
Washing the vehicle by hand
* NOTE Engine damage due to water ingress
Take care not to point the water jet
#
directly towards the air inlet grille below
the bonnet.
Observe the relevant legal requirements (e.g. in
some countries, washing by hand is permitted
only in specially designated wash bays).
Use a mild cleaning agent (e.g. car shampoo).
#
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.
