Power radio antenna (optional) must be dried after washing.
During high pressure washing the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the vehicle than 10 cm. Do
not spray into the locks.
CAUTION: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the winter time, to prevent
corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads. Also wash off the dirt on the underside (Wheel
housings and fenders etc.)
WARNING: When the car is driven immediately after being washed, carefully apply the brakes
several times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings.

Automatic washing - simple and quick
An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it can
never be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the
underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have
facilities for washing the underbody.
Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc., are
secure, otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them. You should also lower the antenna.
We recommend that you do not wash your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because
the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
Bird droppings /Tree sap
Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.
Chromed parts
Chromium-plated and anodized parts should be washed with clean water as soon as they become dirty.
This is particularly important if you drive on gravel roads or on roads where salt is used during the
winter. After the car has been washed, apply wax or an anti-rust preparation.
Stains on chrome trim can be removed with commercially available chrome cleaner. Do not use abrasive
