Cleaning and care of the vehicle
G Warning
Many care products can be hazardous. Some
are poisonous, others are flammable.
Always follow the instructions on the particu-
lar container. Always open your vehicle's
doors or windows when cleaning the interior.
Never use fluids or solvents that are not in-
tended for cleaning your vehicle. Do not use
fuel as a cleaning agent. Fuel is flammable
and constitutes a health hazard.
Always lock away care products and keep
them out of reach of children.
H Environmental note
Only clean the vehicle in a suitable place for
washing vehicles. Dispose of empty contain-
ers and used cleaning materials in an envi-
ronmentally responsible manner.
G Warning
Never use an opening in the bodywork as a
step. You could otherwise damage the vehi-
cle or slip and injure yourself or others.
If you need to clean the areas towards the top
of the vehicle, always use suitable ladders or
secure steps.
