Locks
The locks are lubrica ted with a high-grade
Lock Cylinder Grease at the factory. Lock
Cy lind er Grease prevents the locks from
freezing up. Only use de-icing agent in
emergencies, as they have a degreasing
effect and will impair the function of the
locks. After using a de-icing agent, have
the lock s regreased by a workshop.
Eng ine compar tment
Areas of the engine compartment that are
painted in the same colour as the vehicle
must be looked after like any other painted
surface.
It is adv isable to wash the engine
compartment before and after winter and
preserve it with wax. Cover alternator and
brake fluid reservoir with plastic sheets
before washing the engine.
When washing the engine with a steam-jet
cle ane r, do not d ire ct th e ste am je t at
components of the Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS), the air conditioning system 3 or the
belt drive and its components.
Protective wax that has been applied is
also removed during the engine wash. For
this reason, have the engine, brake system
components in the engine compartment,
axle components with steering, body parts
and cavities thoroughly preserved with
protective wax after the wash by a
workshop.
An engine wash can be performed in the
spring in order to remove dirt that has
adhered to the engine compartment,
which may also have a high salt content.
Check protectiv e w ax la yer and ma ke good
if necessary.
Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners in
engine com partment.
Underbody
Your vehicle has a factory-applied PVC
undercoating in the wheel arches
(including the longitudinal mem bers) which
provides permanent protection and needs
no special maintenance. The surfaces of
the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC
are provided with a durable p rotective wax
coating in critical areas.
On ve hicles whic h are wa shed frequently
in automatic car washes with underbody
washing facility, the protective wax
coating may be im paired by dirt-dissolving
add itiv es, so check the underb od y after
washing and have it waxed if necessary.
Before the start of the cold weather season,
check the PVC coating and protective wax
coating and, if necessary, have them
restored to perfect condition.
Caution commercially available bitumen /
rubber materials can damage the PVC
coating. We recommend that you ha ve
underbody work carried out by a
workshop, who knows the prescribed
materials and has experience in the use
thereof.
The underbody should be washed
following the end of the cold weather
season to remove any dirt adhering to the
underbody since this may also contain salt.
Check protective wax coating and, if
necessary, have it restored to perfect
condition.
