Range Rover Evoque - Vehicle cleaning; THE EXTERIOR; SENSORS AND CAMERAS; UNDER BODY MAINTENANCE

THE EXTERIOR
Following cleaning of the vehicle's
exterior (particularly with a
pressure washer), it is
recommended that the vehicle is
taken for a short drive to dry out
the brakes.
To prevent damage to your vehicle
when using a valeting service, make
sure to advise them of the cleaning
instructions contained within the
Owner's handbook.
Remove any heavy deposits of mud
and dirt with a hose before washing
the vehicle.
Some high pressure cleaning
systems are sufficiently powerful to
damage the wheels and brake
system. Never aim a water jet
directly at the wheels or brakes.
Never aim a hose water jet directly
at the engine air intake, heater air
intakes, body seals or at any
components which may be
damaged.
Do not use a high pressure washer
or steam cleaner in the engine
compartment.
Substances which are corrosive,
such as bird droppings and tree
resin, can damage the vehicle’s
paintwork and should be removed
as soon as possible.
Use only cleaning products
approved for use on vehicles.
Camera lenses must be treated with
care. Clean with a low pressure
hose and wipe with a damp cloth.
Stubborn stains such as tar spots and
grease on the paintwork may require the
use of white spirit. After use, make sure
the area is washed immediately with warm
soapy water to remove all traces of the
spirit.
Note: Do not apply polish to any
unpainted areas of the bumper mouldings.
It will become ingrained in the textured
finish.
SENSORS AND CAMERAS
When washing the vehicle, do not
aim high pressure water jets directly
at any of the sensors and cameras.
Do not use abrasive materials or
hard/sharp objects to clean the
sensors and cameras. Only use
approved vehicle shampoo.
Park assist and Parking aid sensors should
be kept clean to maintain accuracy and
performance.
If required, the cameras should be cleaned
using a cloth moistened with a small
amount of glass-cleaning product.
UNDER BODY MAINTENANCE
Regularly flush the under body with plain,
clean water, and pay particular attention
to areas where mud and debris collect.
If damage or corrosion are detected, have
the vehicle checked by a Retailer/
Authorised Repairer as soon as possible.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Do not use a high pressure washer
or steam cleaner in the engine
compartment.
