Care of vehicle and cleaning

A.
WARNING
- Follow the rules and recommendations of
the car wash operator and do not wash the
vehicLe with the ignition switched on - risk
of accident!
- To avoid cutting yourself on sharp metal

parts,
always wear suitable protection when
cleaning the underside of the car or inside
the wheel arches.
- After the car has been washed, the full brak­
ing effect can be delayed by moisture (or in
winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads -
risk of accident! The brakes should be dried
by pressing the pedal to restore full braking
effect.
© CAUTION
- Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, please make sure to retract the
exterior mirrors to prevent damage. Always
use the electrical power controL to fold the
mirrors in/out on vehicles with electrically
retractable exterior mirrors*.
- Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight -
otherwise the paint can be damaged.
- Do not use insect sponges or abrasive
household sponges, etc. - they can damage
the surfaces.
- Matt-painted vehicle parts:
- Do not use polish or wax - otherwise the
paintwork can be damaged.
- Never use car-wash programmes that in­
clude wax coatings. This could spoil the
matt finish.
- Do not attach any stickers or magnet la­
bels to matt-painted parts as these could
damage the paintwork when they are re­

moved.

® For the sake of the environment
The car should only be washed in special wash

bays.
This prevents oily water from getting in­
to the public drains.
