EXTERIOR CARE
Locks
The locks are lubricated at the factory
using a high quality lock cylinder
grease. Use a de-icing agent only
when absolutely necessary, as this has
a degreasing effect and impairs lock
function. After using a de-icing agent,
have the locks regreased by a workshop.
Washing
The paintwork is exposed to
environmental influences.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be cleaned off
immediately, as they contain aggressive
constituents which can cause paint
damage.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with the
vehicle wash manufacturer's instructions.
The windscreen wiper and rear window
wiper must be switched off. Remove
antenna and external accessories such
as roof racks etc.
If the vehicle is washed by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wheel
housings are also thoroughly rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened doors
and the bonnet as well as the areas they
cover.
Clean bright metal mouldings with a
cleaning solution approved for aluminium
to avoid damages.
Caution
Always use a cleaning agent with a
pH value of four to nine. Do not use
cleaning agents on hot surfaces.
Do not clean the engine compartment
with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for painted and glass
surfaces: remnants of wax on the
windows will impair vision.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a workshop.
Do not use hard objects to remove spots
of tar. Use tar removal spray on painted
surfaces.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other light covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive
or caustic agents, do not use an ice
scraper, and do not clean them dry.
