Automatic car washYou can clean the vehicle in an automat-
ic car wash from the very start. It is pref-
erable to use a car wash that does not
have brushes.
If the vehicle is very dirty, prewash it be-
fore you drive into the car wash.\1
Remove the radio / telephone anten-
na and fold the exterior mirrors in be-
fore driving into the automatic car
wash.For information on windshield wiper
switch, see the “Controls in detail” sec-
tion (
\2
page 210).
!
CAUTION

w a s h i s s u i t a b l e f o r t h e s i z e o f t h e ve -
hicle.
If you do not remove the radio / tele-
phone antenna and fold in the exteri-
or mirrors, there is a possibility that
the antenna, the exterior mirrors or
the vehicle could be damaged by the
automatic car wash.
!
CAUTION
Make sure that the windshield wiper
switch is set to
0 (\2
page 210), oth-
erwise the rain sensor could be acti-
vated, for example, and the
windshield wipers could be triggered
unintentionally. This could cause
damage to the vehicle.

After using an automatic car wash, wipe
off wax from the windshield and the wip-
er blades. This prevents smears and re-
duces wiping noises which can be
caused by residue on the windshield.High-pressure cleaners\1
The minimum distance that must be
maintained between the vehicle and
the nozzle of the high-pressure
cleaner is:\4
approximately 2.2 ft (70 cm) for
round-spray jets
\4
approximately 1 ft (30 cm) for
25° flat-spray jets and concen-
trated-power jets
\1
Move the high-pressure cleaner noz-
zle around when cleaning your vehi-
cle.
!
CAUTION
Do not use high-pressure cleaners
with round-spray jets for cleaning the
tires. You could otherwise damage
the tires. Have damaged tires re-
placed.

door joints, brake hoses, electri-
cal components, connectors or
seals
