Care of vehicle and cleaning
Care of vehicLe and
cleaning
General notes
Regular and careful care helps to maintain the
value of the vehicLe. This may also be one of the
requirements for upholding any warranty claims
in the event of corrosion or paint defects.
Qualified workshops carry stocks of suitable car
care products. PLease
foLLow
the instructions for
use on the packaging.
A WARNING
- Cleaning products and other materials used
for car care can damage health if misused.
- Car care products can contain toxic substan­
ces and must always be kept in a safe place
out of reach of children.

+) For
the sake of the environment
- Please choose care products that are not
harmful to the environment.
- Surplus cleaning materials should not be
disposed of together with ordinary house­
hold waste.
Washing the vehicle
The longer residues like insects, bird droppings,
resinous tree sap or road salt are alLowed to re­
main on the vehicle, the more damage they can
do to the paintwork. High temperatures (for in­
stance in direct sunlight) further intensify the
damage.
Before washing, soak heavy dirt with plenty of
water.
Stubborn dirt, such as bird droppings or resinous
tree sap, is best removed with plenty of water
and a micro-fibre cloth.
After the period when salt is put on the roads,
have the underside of the vehicLe washed thor­
oughly.
High-pressure cleaners
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner, always follow the operating instructions
for the equipment. This applies particularly to
the operating pressure and the spraying dis­

tance.
Do not point the spray jet directly at the
seals on the windows, doors, boot lid, bonnet or
panorama sun roof*, or at the tyres, rubber ho­

ses,
insulating material, sensors* or camera
len­

ses*.
Maintain a distance of at least 40 cm.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to remove
snow and ice.
Never use high-pressure cleaners with a round-
jet nozzle or "dirt blasters".
The water must not be hotter than 60 °C.
Automatic car washes
Spray the vehicle with water before washing.
Ensure that the windows and panorama sun roof*
are closed and that the windscreen wipers are
switched off. Follow the car wash operator's rules
and recommendations, especially if any accesso­
ries are attached to your vehicle.
If possibLe use a brushless car wash.
Washing by hand
Clean the car with a soft sponge or brush, start­
ing on the roof and working down. Use solvent-
free cleaning agents.
Washing matt-painted vehicles by hand
To avoid damaging the paintwork when washing
the car, first remove any dust, sand and grit. In­

sects,
grease stains and fingerprints are best re­
moved using a special cleaning agent for matt-
painted surfaces.
Apply the product with a micro-fibre cloth. Do
not apply too much pressure to avoid damaging
the paintwork.
Rinse the car thoroughly with water. Then clean
the car with a neutral shampoo and a soft micro-
fibre cloth.
Rinse the car with lots of water again and then
let it dry in the air. Remove any water stains with
a chamois. •

Jump-starting
Before starting the engine
If
necessary,
the engine can be started by con­
necting it to the battery of another vehicle.
If the engine fails to start because of
a
dis­
charged battery, the vehicle battery can be
con­

nected to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine. Suitable jump leads are required.
Both vehicle batteries must be rated at 12 V. The
capacity (Ah) of the booster battery should not
be significantly lower than that of the discharged
battery.
Jump leads
The jump Leads must be heavy enough to carry
the starter current. Refer to the details given by
the manufacturer.
Only
use
jump leads with insulated battery
clamps.
Positive cable - usually red.
Negative cable - usually black.
WARNING
- When it is discharged the vehicle battery
can freeze at temperatures around 0°C. A
frozen vehicle battery must first be thawed
out before connecting the jump leads - risk
of explosion and chemical burns! After
jump-starting the vehicle, drive to a quali­
fied workshop without delay and have the
vehicle battery checked.
- The engine compartment is a potentially
hazardous area and working here can lead
to serious injuries. Before carrying out any
work in the engine compartment please
read and observe the warnings
*page
295.
- Incorrect handling of the jump leads may
result in the vehicLe battery exploding (risk
of serious injury). Please observe the follow­
ing rules to minimise the risk of injury:
- The non-insulated parts of the battery
clamps must not be allowed to touch. The
jump lead attached to the positive terminal
must not touch metal parts of the vehicle:
this can cause short circuiting.
- Position the jump leads in such a way that
they cannot come into contact with any
moving parts in the engine compartment.
- Do not lean over the vehicle battery - risk of
chemical burns!
- The screw plugs on the battery cells must be
screwed in firmly.
