Cleaning the exterior
The vehicle should be washed at regular inter-vals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spotsadhere to the paint and may cause damage. Tohelp prevent corrosion, it is particularly importantto wash the car frequently in the wintertime.

Hand washing
The following points should be kept in mind whenwashing and cleaning the car:

CAUTION
Avoid using car washing detergents with a pHvalue lower than 3.5 or higher than 11.5.Doing so could result in discoloring of ano-dized aluminum surfaces on e.g., roof rails orthe frames around the side windows.
•Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight.Doing so may cause detergents and wax todry out and become abrasive. To avoidscratching, use lukewarm water to soften thedirt before you wash with a soft sponge, andplenty of sudsy water.
•Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork assoon as possible. Otherwise the finish maybe permanently damaged.
•A car washing detergent can be used tofacilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
