then lead to long-term damage.
Follow the user's manual for the high-pressure
washer.◀

pressure washers

spray the exterior sensors and cameras, e.g., Park Distance Control, for extended periods of
time and only from a distance of at least

in the area below the windshield when the
hood is raised.
