When using a steam cleaner or a high-
pressure cleaner to wash the vehicle, be sure
to be very careful. Be sure to wash the vehicle
in accordance with the operation instructions
and requirements of the steam cleaner or high-
pressure cleaner. Pay attention to the working
pressure, temperature and spraying distance:
- When using a steam cleaner or a high-
pressure cleaner to wash the vehicle,
keep a sufficient water spray distance
from the vehicle, and ensure the
temperature does not exceed 60°C.
- If the vehicle is equipped with an electric
sunroof, keep the water spray distance
more than 80 cm when washing the
vehicle. If the high-pressure cleaner
is close to the vehicle, or if excessive
pressure or temperature is used, the
vehicle may be damaged.
- Do not wash a radar sensor or a parking
assist camera with a high-pressure cleaner
for a long time; when washing the radar
sensor or parking assist cameras, keep
the water spray distance more than 30 cm.
