## Wash with a pressure washer 

## NOTICE 

▶ Follow the operating instructions for the high- pressure cleaner, in particular the instructions re- lating to the pressure and the spray distance to the vehicle surface. 

▶ Do not direct the water jet directly at the following vehicle parts 

▶ Films 

▶ Lock cylinder 

▶ Columns on the vehicle 

▶ Trailer connection 

▶ Swivelling ball bar 

▶ Camera lenses and sensors 

▶ Plastic, chromed and anodised parts 

## Remove snow and ice 

## NOTICE

▶ Clean the cameras with a hand brush. 

▶ Only move the scraper in one direction. 

▶ Do not use scratchers or other sharp objects for foils. 

▶ Do not remove snow and ice with hot or warm wa- ter.

## Instructions for cleaning 

## Handwash 

› Wash the vehicle from top to bottom with a soft sponge or wash glove and plenty of water, if nec- essary with additional suitable cleaning agents. 

› For foils and headlights, use a mild soap solution that contains two tablespoons of white neutral soap to one litre of lukewarm water. 

› Use a glass cleaner for the windscreen wiper blades. 

› Wash the cameras with clean water and dry with a suitable clean wipe. 

## NOTICE 

▶ Wash out the sponge or wash mitt regularly. 

▶ Use a different sponge for wheels, sills and the lower part of the vehicle than that used for the other vehicle parts. 

▶ Do not wash the vehicle in the blazing sun. 

▶ Do not dry the headlights or use sharp objects. 

▶ Do not put pressure on the bodywork when wash- ing. 

▶ The temperature of the washing water may be a max. 60 °C. 

## After hand washing 

› Rinse the vehicle and wipe it with a suitable clean cloth. 

## Vehicle paint 

› Preserve the varnish at least twice a year with hard wax. 

› Use a polish for matt lacquers. 

## Films 

Films will age and become brittle – this is entirely normal: this is not an error. 

The following factors have a negative effect on the life or colour fastness of the films: 

▶ Sun rays 

▶ moisture 

▶ Air pollution 

▶ Stones, e.g. due to the rebound of the cargo during transport on the roof rack 

## Protection of hollow spaces 

Corrosion-prone cavities of the vehicle are perma- nently protected by preservative wax at the factory. 

› Remove spilled wax with a plastic scraper, clean stains with mineral spirits. 

## Underseal 

The underside is permanently protected by the fac- tory against chemical and mechanical influences. 

› Have the protective coating checked by a special- ist garage before starting and at the end of the cold season. 

## Wheels 

› After washing, preserve the wheels with suitable means. 

## WARNING 

Risk of an accident! 

▶ Severe dirt on the wheels can result in the wheels unbalancing. 

## Car jack 

› If necessary, treat moving parts with suitable grease. 

## Tow hitch 

› Coat the ball head of the towing device with a suit- able grease whenever necessary.
