Care

temperature can lead to component damage or

water penetration. Follow the operating instruc-

tions of the high-pressure washer.<

When using high-pressure washers, do

not spray against the sensors and cam-

eras, e.g. of the Park Distance Control or Rear

View Camera, for an extended period and main-

tain a distance of at least 12 in/30 cm.<

Manual car wash

When washing the vehicle by hand, use large

quantities of water and car shampoo if neces-

sary. Clean the vehicle with a sponge or wash-

ing brush, applying light pressure only.

Before cleaning the windshield, deacti-

vate the rain sensor or switch off the igni-

tion to prevent unintentional activation of the

wipers.<

Observe local regulations pertaining to

washing vehicles by hand.<

Headlamps

Do not rub them dry and do not use abrasive or

corrosive cleaning agents.

Remove contamination, such as insects, by

soaking with shampoo or insect remover and

then rinsing with plenty of water.

Thaw ice with a windshield de-icer and do not

use an ice scraper.

Windows

Clean the inside and outside surfaces of the

windows and the mirrors with window cleaner.

Do not clean the mirrors with cleaners

containing quartz.<

Wiper blades

Clean with soapy water and replace regularly to

avoid streaking.

Wax and preservative residue and con-

tamination on the window can lead to

streaking when operating the windshield wip-

ers, leading to premature wear of the wiper

blades and causing the rain sensor to malfunc-

tion.<

Convertible top care

The appearance and life of the convertible top

depend on proper care and operation.

Follow these instructions:

> Do not fold the convertible top into the con-

vertible top box when the top is wet or fro-

zen, as this may cause water spots, mold

stains or chafed areas.

> If water spots occur on the inside headliner

despite precautions, remove them using a

microfiber cloth and interior cleaner.

> If the vehicle is parked in enclosed areas for

extended periods, ensure that there is suffi-

cient ventilation.

> Remove bird droppings immediately, as

their corrosive ingredients attack the con-

vertible top and damage the rubber seals.

To remove stains from the convertible

top, do not use stain removers, paint thin-

ners, solvents, benzine or similar substances.

These substances may damage the rubber

parts. Improper care and cleaning may cause

the convertible top and convertible top seams

to become leaky.<

To remove heavy soiling, use a special convert-

ible top cleaner.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.

After washing the convertible top three to five

times, treat it with an impregnating agent.

Paintwork care

Regular care contributes to value retention and

protects the paintwork against the long-term

effects of damaging substances.

Region-specific environmental influences can

damage the vehicle paintwork. Therefore, it is

important to adapt the frequency and scope of

car care accordingly.

Immediately remove very aggressive sub-

stances, e.g. spilled fuel, oil, grease, tree resin

or bird droppings, to prevent damage to the

paintwork.
