Appearance Care
Exterior Care
Locks
The locks are lubricated at the
factory using a high quality lock
cylinder grease. Use de-icing agent
only when absolutely necessary, as
this has a degreasing effect and
impairs lock function. After using
de-icing agent, have the locks
re-greased by a workshop.
Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental
influences. Wash and wax your
vehicle regularly. When using
automatic vehicle washes, select a
programme that includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be
cleaned off immediately, as they
contain aggressive constituents
which can cause paint damage.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer's
instructions. The windscreen wipersand rear window wiper must be
switched off. Lock the vehicle so
that the fuel filler flap cannot be
opened. Remove antenna and
external accessories such as roof
racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.Caution
Always use a cleaning agent with
a pH value of 4 to 9.
Do not use cleaning agents on
hot surfaces.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a workshop.
Do not clean the engine
compartment with a steam-jet or
high-pressure jet cleaner. Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently.
Use separate leathers for painted
and glass surfaces : Remnants of
wax on the windows will impair
vision.
Do not use hard objects to remove
spots of tar. Use tar removal spray
on painted surfaces.
Exterior lights
Headlamp and other lamp covers
are made of plastic.
Do not use any abrasive or caustic
agents, do not use an ice scraper,
and do not clean them dry.
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Otherwise, the paintwork will
dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the
paint has become dull or if solid
deposits have become attached
to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
