Automatic car wash
WARNING
Braking efficiency is reduced after washing
the vehicle. This could cause an accident. For
this reason, you must drive particularly
carefully after washing the vehicle until the
brakes have dried.
You can wash the vehicle in an automatic car wash from the very start.
Never clean your vehicle in a
Touchless
Automatic Car Wash as these use special
cleaning agents. These cleaning agents can
damage the paintwork or plastic parts.
If the vehicle is very dirty, pre-wash it before cleaning it in an automatic car wash.
Make sure that the automatic
transmission is in position N when washing
your vehicle in a tow-through car wash. The
vehicle could be damaged if the
transmission is in another position.
Make sure that:
• the side windows and the sliding sunroof are fully closed.
• the ventilation/heating is switched off (the OFF button has been pressed).
• the windshield wiper switch is in position 0.
Otherwise, the vehicle might be damaged.
After using an automatic car wash, wipe off wax from the windshield and the wiper blades. This will prevent smears and reduce wiping noises caused by residue on the windshield.
