CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool
or lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo.
• Never use strong household detergents
or soap, for example dish washing or
laundry liquid. These products can
discolor and spot painted surfaces.
• Never wash your vehicle when it is hot
to the touch, or during strong or direct
sunlight.
• Dry your vehicle with a chamois or soft
terry cloth towel to eliminate water
spotting.
• Immediately remove fuel spillages, bird
droppings, insect deposits and road tar.
These may cause damage to your
vehicle’s paintwork or trim over time.
• Remove any exterior accessories, for
example antennas, before entering a
car wash.
• When filling with AdBlue®, remove any
residue on painted surfaces
immediately.
Note:
Suntan lotions and insect
repellents can damage painted surfaces.
If these substances come in contact with
your vehicle, wash the affected area as
soon as possible.
Note:
If you use a car wash with a
waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove
the wax
from the windshield and the
wiper blades.
Note:
Before using a car wash, check
that
it is suitable for your vehicle.
Note:
Some car washes use water at
high pressure. Due to this, water droplets
may enter inside your vehicle and could
also damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Note:
Remove the antenna before using
an
automatic car wash.
Note:
Switch the blower motor off to
prevent contamination of the cabin air
filter.
We recommend that you wash your vehicle
with a sponge and lukewarm water
containing a car shampoo.
