or
more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur- face.
l After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re- duced braking performance. Also, there is a
possibility that they could freeze up or be- come inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.

tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the pillar
antenna, it can be retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the roof
antenna, it can be removed.
• The wiper arms are secured in place with
tape.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
Waxing
E00901001974
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
For information on how to use wax refer to the instruction manual of the wax.
CAUTIONl Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used.Polishing
E00901101151
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus- tre. Do not polish parts with a mat coating
and the plastic bumpers. Doing so could cause stains or damage the finish.
Cleaning plastic parts
E00901301876
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In such a case,
wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather.
CAUTIONl Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint thinners and sulphuric
acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off with soft cloth, chamois or the like and anaqueous solution of neutral detergent then
immediately rinse the affected parts with
water.
