Toxic liquid
WARNING: Liquids used in vehicles are harmful to human body and must not be swallowed or come into
contact with unhealed wounds. For your safety, please carefully read and follow all instructions printed on
the labels and containers.
Vehicle cleaning
It is necessary to observe the operating instructions when using high-pressure cleaning equipment to
clean the vehicle, pay particular attention to that the pressure and spray distance is appropriate when it
comes to soft materials such as rubber hoses or sound insulation materials. Do not use round beam
nozzles or rotary nozzles; tyres in particular must never be cleaned with round beam nozzles, even with
a large spray distance and short duration as this may cause damage.
To protect the varnish, wash your vehicle regularly. In particular bird droppings, tree resin, pollen,
industrial grime, tar and oil spots or road salt need to be removed as soon as possible.
The vehicle can be cleaned in an automatic car wash. Before washing, close the windows and sunroof, fold
the exterior rear-view mirrors and adjust the wiper switch to “OFF.” Inform the operator of the car wash
in advance that the vehicle is equipped with a cargo cover, antenna, etc. The brake system of the vehicle
needs to be checked after washing to ensure that moisture and corrosion do not damage the brake pads
and weaken the brake performance.
When driving on salted or sanded roads, the underbody must be cleaned regularly. This will prevent dirt
and salt from building up and causing the acceleration of corrosion on the underbody and suspension. The
underbody should be checked before and after winter and, if necessary, fixed.
Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your vehicle on a public roads).
WARNING: Do not wash the vehicle while it is being charged!
Polishing and waxing
Polishing is necessary if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it.
Unpainted plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents.
