Carefully remove all deposits of road salt as soon as possible when driving in winter.

Also, clean the insides of the wheels when washing the underbody of the vehicle.

•► Do not point the water jet directly at the air inlets.

•► Use plenty of water and rinse the sponge frequently.

•► Rinse the vehicle with clean water and dry it thoroughly with a chamois.
