179 08 Car care
Washing and cleaning the vehicle
washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
CAUTION
l Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain se\
nsor to avoid damaging the
windshield wipers.
l Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc, are secure, and \
that any antenna(s) are
retracted or removed. Otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging \
them.
WARNING
l When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes \
several times in order to
remove any moisture from the brake linings.
l Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This \
constitutes a fire risk.
Exterior lighting
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterio\
r lights such as headlights, fog
lights, or taillights. This is normal and the lights are designed to wit\
hstand moisture. Normally,
condensation will dissipate after the lights have been on for a short ti\
me.
Polishing and Waxing
l Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery\
, however, waxing may be
beneficial.
l Before applying polish or wax the vehicle must be washed and dried. Tar \
spots can be removed with
kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing comp\
ound.
l After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
l Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax.
l Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing a dull surface.
l A wide range of polymer-based waxes can be purchased today. These waxes \
are easy to use and
produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork aga\
inst oxidation, road dirt and
fading.
l Do not polish or wax your vehicle in direct sunlight (the surface of th\
e vehicle should not be warmer
than 113° F (45° C).
CAUTION
