Cleaning & vehicle care
WASHINGYOUR VEHICLE
Wash your vehicle frequentlyusing a clean,
grit free sponge and generous quantities of
cold or lukewarm water containing a car
shampoo. Rinse and dry off with a chamois
leather.
Getting rid of tar spots
Use white spirit to remove tar spots and
stubborn grease stains from the paintwork.
Then wash immediatelywith soapy water to
remove all traces of spirit.
Body protection
•
•
Do not use hot water!
After washing, inspect the paintworkfor
damage. Treat paint chips and scratches with
touch-up paint to prevent corrosion, and
occasionallyprotect the paint surface with an
application of car polish.
Do not use detergent soap products or
washing-up liquid!
During winter months when salt has been
used on the roads, use a hose to wash the
underside of the vehicle. Pay particular
attention to wheelarches and panel seams,
and to removing accumulations of mud.
NOTE: DONOTapply car polish to the
moulded bumpers - polish will become
ingrained in the textured finish of the
mouldings.
Similarly, after off-road driving or wading in
muddy or salt water conditions, use a hose to
wash underbody components and other
exposed parts of the vehicle.
Glass &mirrors
Clean the rear screen with a soft cloth to avoid
damaging the heater elements. DONOT
scrape the glass or use an abrasive cleaning
fluid.
When using a hose, do not direct the jet into
the heater air intake ducts, or through the
wheel trim apertures onto the brake
components, or at the door, window or
sunroof seals, where water pressure could
penetrate the seals.
Mirror glass is particularlysusceptible to
damage; DONOTuse abrasive cleaning
compounds or metal scrapers.
WARNING
Some high pressure cleaning systems are
sufficiently powerful to penetrate door and
window seals and damage rubbing strips
and locking mechanisms. Never aim the
water jet directly at heater air intakes, body
and sunroof seals, or at any components
that might easily be damaged.
