dows, to minimize loss of visibility due to
smearing and to reduce wiper noises and wiper
blade wear.

dangerous and harmful to your health. There is
a risk of injury. When cleaning the interior,

value retention. Environmental influences in
areas with elevated air pollution or natural con‐
taminants, such as tree resin or pollen can af‐
fect the vehicle's paintwork. Tailor the fre‐
quency and extent of your vehicle care to these
influences.
Aggressive substances such as spilled fuel, oil,
grease or bird droppings, must be removed im‐
mediately to prevent the finish from being al‐
tered or discolored.
