CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
We recommend that you wash your vehicle
with a sponge and lukewarm water
containing a car shampoo.
Note: If you use a car wash with a waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove the wax
from the windshield and the wiper blades.
Note: Before using a car wash, check that
it is suitable for your vehicle.
Note: Some car washes use water at high
pressure. Due to this, water droplets may
enter inside your vehicle and could also
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Note: Remove the aerial before using an
automatic car wash.
Note: Switch the blower motor off to
prevent contamination of the cabin air filter. Cleaning the Headlamps
Note:
Do not scrape the headlamp lenses
or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents or
chemical solvents to clean them.
Note: Do not wipe the headlamps when
they are dry.
Cleaning the Rear Window
Note: Do not scrape the inside of the rear
window or use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean it.
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp
chamois leather to clean the inside of the
rear window.
Cleaning the Chrome Trim
Note: Do not use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean the chrome trim. Use
soapy water.
Use a soft clean cloth to dry the chrome
trim.
