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 of your vehicle 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
aerial and external accessories such as
roof racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle 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 damage.
CAUTION
Always use a cleaning agent with a pH
value of 4 to 9.
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.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other light covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive
