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 highpressure washer.◀
Cleaning sensors/cameras with highpressure
washers
When using high-pressure washers, do not
spray the exterior sensors and cameras, e.g.,
Park Distance Control, for extended periods of
time and only from a distance of at least 12 in/
30 cm.◀
Wash your vehicle frequently, particularly in winter.
Intense soiling and road salt can damage the vehicle.
