Self-help, vehicle care
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (by the time the
water no longer beads at the latest).
Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the paint has
become dull or if solid deposits have
become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a
protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts should not be treated
with wax and polish.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
Clean wheels with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Wheels are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body.
Paintwork damage
Rectify minor paintwork damage with a
touch-up pen before rust forms. Have more
extensive damage or rust areas repaired
by a workshop. Exterior lights
Headlamp and other lamp covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any caustic
agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do
not clean them when dry.
Plastic and rubber parts
Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned
with the same cleaner as used to clean the
body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do
not use any other agent. Avoid solvents
and petrol in particular. Do not use high-
pressure jet cleaners.
Interior and upholstery
Only clean the vehicle interior, including
the instrument panel fa
scia and panelling,
with a dry cloth or interior cleaner.
The instrument pane l should only be
cleaned using a soft damp cloth.
Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum
cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an
upholstery cleaner.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or
interior cleaner.
Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open Velcro
fasteners on clothing could damage
seat upholstery.
