Cleaning AIRPANEL !
If you clean the sensors with a high-pres-

distance of at least 30 cm between the
vehicle and the high-pressure cleaner noz-
zle. Information about the correct distance is available from the equipment manufac-
turer.
Vehicles with AIRPANEL have shutters in the
radiator trim. If the vehicle is very dusty, the
adjustment range of the shutters may be
restricted. The actuation mechanics of the
radiator trim must then be cleaned with a
high-pressure cleaner. 400

permissible if a towing weight is specified in
your vehicle documents. If this is not the case,
then the vehicle is not approved for the tow-
