the following or other similars ituations:
R when towing the vehicle
R in the car wash
! Preferably use automatic car washes with

Do no tuse acidic wheel cleaning products
to remove brake dust. This could damage

should drive for a few minutes after
cleaning. Braking heats the brake discs and
the brake pads/linings, thus drying them.
The vehicle can then be parked.
