commercially available sharp-edged ice

the glass so that no dirt can get under it
and scratch the glass.

Locks
The lock s a re lubricated at the fa ctory
using a high quality lock cylinder grease.
Use de-icing agent only where absolutely
necessary, as this removes grease and
impairs lock function. After using de-icing
agent, have the locks regreased by a
workshop.
Engine compartment
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
cleaner, do not direct the steam jet at
components of the Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS), air conditioning system, Electronic
Climate Control (ECC) or the belt d rive and
its comp onents.
When washing down the engine, protective
wax applied afterwards is also removed.
The refore, a fte r washing, hav e the e ngine,
parts of the brake system in the engine
compartment, axle components and
steering and vehicle body parts and
cavities preserved thoroughly by a
workshop using protective wax.
An engine w ash ca n 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 cleaners in the
engine compartment.
Un derbody
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 vehicles w hich are washed freque ntly in
automatic car washes with underbody
washing facility, the protective wax
coating may be impaired by dirt-dissolving
additives.
Therefore, check the underbody after
washing and have it waxed if necessary.
Before the start of the cold weather season,
check the PVC coating and protective wax
coating. H ave them restored to perfect
condition if necessary.
Caution - commercially available bitum en /
rubber materials can damage the PVC
coating. We recommend that you have
underbody work carried out by a
workshop. They know the prescribed
materials and have 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.
