2015 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER washer fluid

Removing wax
Car washes and care products could leave wax deposits on the glass surfaces. Wax residue can only be removed using a special cleaning product or cleaning cloths. Wax deposits on the wind-screen can cause the wiper blades to rub. Volks-wagen Commercial Vehicles recommends that a glass cleaning cloth G 052 522 A1 be used to re-move wax deposits from the windows and exterior mirrors each time the vehicle is washed.
A window cleaning agent specifically for removing wax will stop the blades rubbing if added to the windscreen wash water. Dilute the cleaner as in-structed. Grease-removing cleaners will not re-move wax deposits =-CD.
Special cleaners, glass cleaners and glass clean-ing cloths are available from Volkswagen Commer-cial Vehicles dealerships.
Removing snow
Use a small brush to remove snow from the win-dows and exterior mirrors.
Removing ice
The best method for removing ice is to use a de-icer spray. If you use an ice scraper, do not move it to and fro, but push it in one direction only. Mov-ing the ice scraper backwards can cause dirt to scratch the window.

A WARNING
Dirty or misted windows reduce visibility and Increase the risk of accidents and severe in-juries.
• Only drive when you have a clear view through all windows.
• Ice, snow and mist must be removed from the inside and outside of all windows.
CD
• Never combine the recommended cleaning agents with other cleaning agents for use in the windscreen washer fluid. This can cause the in-gredients to separate and block the windscreen washer jets.
• Never use warm or hot water to remove snow and Ice from windows and mirrors. This can cause the glass to crack.
• The heating elements for the rear window heater are on the Inside of the rear window. Never apply stickers over the heating elements and never clean the inside of the rear window with corrosive or acidic detergents or any other chemicals. Fig. 286 Changing the rear window wiper blade.
The factory-fitted wiper blades are coated with graphite. The graphite coating ensures that the wiper blade moves quietly over the windscreen. If the graphite coating is damaged, the windscreen wiper will become louder. .,..
