Windows
Clear vision to all sides.
Clean all windows regularly to remove road
film and car wash wax buildup.
• Remove snow from windows using a brush.
• Use a plastic ice scraper to remove ice from
windows and mirrors.
• Remove other residue on the windows with
a spray-on glass cleaner .
• Wipe the windows dry w ith a clean piece of
cloth or kitchen paper towel.
The best way to remove snow from windows
and mirrors is to use a brush. Use a non-abra-
sive
plastic ice scraper -
better still, a spray
deicer - to remove
ice
from windows and mir-
rors.
The windows must not be cleaned with insect
remover or wax since these can interfere with
the function of the w indshield wiper blades
(chatter).
Oil , grease, or silicone residue can be removed
w ith
glass cleaner or silicon e remover.
How-
ever, wax residue requires the use of a special-
ly form ulated solvent. Please contact your au-
thor ized Audi dealer for advice on safe prod-
ucts for wax removal.
W indows should also be cleaned on the inside
at regular interva ls.
Never dry w indows with the same chamois
that you use to dry painted surfaces . Wax resi-
due on the chamois can impair vision through
the windows.
