CAUTION
•During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to thevehicle than 13" (30 cm). Do not sprayinto the locks.
• Dirt, snow, etc., on the headlights canreduce lighting capacity considerably.Clean the headlights regularly, for exam-ple when refueling.
Special laminated panoramic roof cau-
tions:
• Always close the laminated panoramicroof and sun shade before washing yourvehicle.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents onthe laminated panoramic roof.
• Never use wax on the rubber sealsaround the laminated panoramic roof.
NOTE
When washing the vehicle, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doorsand sills.
Automatic car washes
• We do NOT recommend washing your vehi- cle in an automatic wash during the first few months (because the paint will not havehardened sufficiently).
• An automatic wash is a simple and quick wayto clean your vehicle, but it is worth remem-bering that it may not be as thorough aswhen you yourself go over the vehicle withsponge and water. Keeping the underbodyclean is most important, especially in the win-ter. Some automatic washers do not havefacilities for washing the underbody.
NOTE
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights such asheadlights or taillights. This is normal and thelights are designed to withstand moisture.Normally, condensation will dissipate after thelights have been on for a short time.
CAUTION
When using an automatic car wash in which the vehicle has to be able to roll freely, theauto-hold brake function must be deactivated.If this is not done, the brakes will automati-cally be applied when the vehicle is stationary. To deactivate this function:
1. Drive the vehicle into the car wash
2. Turn off the auto-hold function using the
control on the center console
3. Turn off the parking brake's automatic function in the center display's Top view (tap
Settings, tap My CarParking
Brake and Suspension and deselectAuto Activate Parking Brake)
4. Put the gear selector in N
5. Switch off the ignition by turning the start knob to STOP and holding it in this posi-
tion for at least 4 seconds
The vehicle will then be able to roll freely.
