Windows and exterior mirrors
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 189.
Use a plastic ice scraper for removing snow and ice from the windows and mir-
rors.
Regularly clean windows from the inside with clean water.
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 make the window dirty and reduce visibility.
CAUTION
The ice scraper should not be moved forward and backward but in one direction
■
to avoid any damage to the surface of the glass.
Snow or ice that is contaminated with coarse dirt such as fine gravel, sand or
■
salt must not be removed from the windows and mirrors – there is a risk of dam-
age to the surface of the windows and mirrors.

■
cracks forming in the glass.
