Automatic car washes
Optional add-on parts or parts which project
beyond the contours of the vehicle may be
damaged by design features (e.g. brushes) of au-
tomatic car washes.
fWash and dry by hand all points not reached by
a car wash, such as door and lid seams or
door sills.
fPlease consult the operator before using auto-
matic car washes.
fPlease observe the chapter “WIPER BLADES”
on Page 173.
The following parts are particularly suscepti-
ble to damage:
– Windshield wipers (always switch them off to
prevent them wiping unintentionally in intermit-
tent or sensor operation).
– Fixed rear spoiler or extended rear spoiler.
– Wheels (the wider the rim and the lower the tire
height, the greater the risk of damage).
– High-gloss wheels (to prevent these from get-
ting scratched, do not clean with the wheel-
cleaning brushes of the car wash).
– External antenna (always unscrew).
– Roof Transport System (always remove com-
pletely).Note
Automatic car washes spray water at odd angles
and high pressures, which are not seen in normal
driving. Therefore, water can sometimes find its
way into the passengers compartment during or
shortly after the car wash.
Door locks fTo prevent the door locks from freezing during
the cold season, the lock cylinders should be
covered during a wash.
fShould the locks freeze, use an ordinary de-ic-
er. In many cases, a well warmed key can help.
Never use excessive force.
