wash operator to reduce the risk of acci­
dents.
- To reduce the risk of cuts, protect yourself
from sharp metal components when wash­ ing the underbody or the inside of the wheel
housings.
- After washing the vehicle, the braking effect may be delayed due to moisture on the
brake rotors or ice in the winter . This in­
creases the risk of an accident. The brakes
must be dried first with a few careful brake
applications.
@ Note
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Power folding exterior mirrors* must only
be folded in and out using the power folding
function.
- To reduce the risk of damage to the rims
and tires, compare the width between the
wheels on your vehicle with the distance be­
tween the guide rails in the car wash.
- To reduce the risk of damage, compare the
height and width of your vehicle with the
Care and cleaning
height and width of the inside of the car
wash .
- T o reduce the risk of paint damage, do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight .
- To reduce the risk of damage to the surface,
do not use insect removing sponges, kitchen
sponges or similar items .
- Matte finish painted vehicle components:
- To reduce the risk of damage to the sur-
face, do not use polishing agents or hard
wax.
- Never use protective wax. It can destroy
the matte finish effect .
- Do not place any stickers or magnetic
signs on vehicle parts painted with matte
finish paint. The paint could be damaged
when the stickers or magnets are re­
moved.
@ For the sake of the environment
Only wash the vehicle in facilities specially de­
signed for that purpose. This will reduce the
risk of dirty water contaminated with oil from
entering the sewer system.
