Car washes

Notes

Steam jets or high-pressure washers

When using steam jets or high-pressure

washers, hold them a sufficient distance away

and use a maximum temperature of

140 ℉/60 ℃.

Holding them too close or using excessively

high pressures or temperatures can cause

damage or preliminary damage that may then

lead to long-term damage.

Follow the operating instructions for the high-

pressure washer.◀

Cleaning sensors/cameras with high-

pressure washers

When using high-pressure washers, do not

spray the seals of the retractable hardtop and

the exterior sensors and cameras, for Park Dis‐

tance Control, for instance, for extended peri‐

ods of time and only from a distance of at least

12 in/30 cm.◀

Regularly remove foreign bodies, such as

leaves, from the area below the windshield

when the hood is open.

Wash your vehicle frequently, particularly in

winter.

Intense soiling and road salt can damage the

vehicle.

Washing in automatic car washes

Give preference to cloth car washes or those

that use soft brushes in order to avoid paint

damage.

Notes

▷ Make sure that the wheels and tires are not

damaged by the transport mechanisms.

▷ Fold in the exterior mirrors; otherwise, they

may be damaged, depending on the width

of the vehicle.

▷ Deactivate the rain sensor, refer to

page 64, to avoid unintentional wiper acti‐

vation.
