228 Self-help, vehicle careVehicle careWhen caring for your vehicle, observe all
national environmental regulations,
particularly when washing it.
Regular, thorough care helps to improve
the appearance of your vehicle and
maintain its value over the years. It is also
prerequisite for warranty claims for any
paint or corrosion da mage. The following
pages contain tips for vehicle care which, if
used properly, will help combat the
unavoidable, damaging effects of the
environment. Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to
environmental influences. Wash and wax
your vehicle regularly. When using
automatic car washes, select a program
that includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen
and the like should be cleaned off
immediately, as they contain aggressive
constituents which can cause paint
damage.
If using a car wash, comply with the car
wash manufacturer’s instructions. The
windscreen wipers and rear window wiper
must be switched off. Remove antenna
3
and roof rack 3. Stand on the door sill to
reach them more easily. If you wash your vehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides
of the wings are also
thoroughly rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened doors
and flaps as well as the areas they cover.
Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for paint and window
surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows
will impair vision.
Do not use hard objects to remove spots of
tar. Use tar removal spray on painted
surfaces.
