washers, hold them a sufficient distance away and use a maximum temperature of
140 ℉/60 ℃.

tained. Holding them too close or using exces‐
sively high pressures or temperatures can
cause damage or preliminary damage that may
then lead to long-term damage.

washer.◀

spray the exterior sensors and cameras, e.g., Park Distance Control, for extended periods of
time and only from a distance of at least
12 in/30 cm.◀

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