192 Vehicle Care
Plastic body parts must not be
treated with wax or polishing
agents.
Windows and windscreen
wiper blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois
leather together with window
cleaner and insect remover.
When cleaning the rear window,
make sure the heating element
inside is not damaged.
For mechanical removal of ice, use
a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press
the scraper firmly against the glass
so that no dirt can get under it and
scratch the glass.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a
soft cloth and window cleaner.
Sunroof
Never clean with solvents or
abrasive agents, fuels, aggressive
media (e.g. paint cleaner, acetone
containing solutions etc.), acidic or
highly alkaline media or abrasive
pads. Do not apply wax or polishing
agents to the sunroof.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet
cleaners.
Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Rims are painted and can be
treated with the same agents as
the body.
Paintwork damage
Rectify minor paintwork damage
with a touch-up pen before rust
forms. Have more extensive
damage or rust areas repaired by a
workshop.
Underbody
Some areas of the vehicle
underbody have a PVC
undercoating while other critical
areas have a durable protective wax
coating.
After the underbody is washed,
check the underbody and have it
waxed if necessary.Bitumen/rubber materials could
damage the PVC coating. Have
underbody work carried out by a
workshop.
Before and after winter, wash the
underbody and have the protective
wax coating checked.
Interior Care
Interior and upholstery
Only clean the vehicle interior,
including the instrument panel
fascia and panelling, with a dry cloth
or interior cleaner.
Clean the leather upholstery with
clear water and a soft cloth. In case
of heavy soiling, use leather care.
The instrument cluster and the
displays should only be cleaned
using a soft damp cloth.
If necessary use a weak soap
solution.
Clean fabric upholstery with a
vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove
stains with an upholstery cleaner.
