De-icing windows and exterior mirrors
ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 97.
Use a plastic ice scraper for removing snow and ice from the windows and mir-
rors. The ice scraper should not be moved forward and backward but in one direc-
tion to avoid any damage to the surface of the glass.
Clean the windows from the inside on a regular basis.
Dry the glass surfaces with a clean chamois leather or a cloth intended for this
purpose.
When drying the windows after washing the vehicle, do not use window leathers
that have been used to polish the bodywork. Residues of preservatives in the
window leather can dirty the window and reduce visibility.
CAUTION
Never remove snow or ice from glass parts using warm or hot water – risk of
■
formation of cracks in the glass!
When removing snow or ice from windows and mirror lenses ensure that the
■
paintwork of the vehicle is not to damage.
Snow or ice that is contaminated with coarse dirt such as fine gravel, sand, and
■
salt must not be removed from the window glass and mirrors – risk of damage to
the surface of the windows and mirrors.

General Maintenance
CAUTION

■
plastic lenses, this may damage the protective paintwork and consequently cause
the formation of cracks on the headlight lenses.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning or chemical solvent products to clean the
■
headlights – risk of damaging the headlight lenses.
Rubber seals
ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 97.
The rubber seals on doors, the sliding roof and other windows remain smoother
and last longer if the seals are treated regularly with a suitable rubber care prod-
uct. This helps to prevent leakages and premature wear of the seals. Rubber
seals which are well cared for also do not stick together in cold winter weather.

ings

Note
When washing your vehicle, ensure as little water as possible gets into the lock-
■
ing cylinders.
