Vehicle care

Cleaning the windows and the wiper
blades

Fold wiper arms forward until they snap
into place.

Clean the wiper blade inserts with a
clean cloth and detergent solution.

Use a soft, clean cloth and a mild
window cleaning solution on all outside
and inside glass surfaces.

An automotive glass cleaner is recom-
mended.

Do not clean the camera and the area

around the camera:

with a high-pressure cleaner

with a dry cloth and high pressure

with aggressive cleaning agents

You could otherwise damage the camera.

Warning!

For safety reasons, switch off wipers and re-

move SmartKey from starter switch

(vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*: Make sure the

vehicle’s on-board electronics have

status 0) before cleaning the windshield

and/or the wiper blades. Otherwise, the

wiper motor could suddenly turn on and

cause injury.

Do not pull on the wiper blade inserts. They

could tear.

Fold the windshield wiper arms back onto

the windshield before turning the SmartKey in
the starter switch or pressing the KEYLESS-GO
start/stop button (vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*).

Hold on to the wiper when folding the wiper arm
back. If released, the force of the impact from
the tensioning spring could crack the windshield.

To clean the window interior, do not use a

dry cloth, abrasives, solvents or cleaners con-
taining solvents. Do not touch the inside of the
front, rear or side windows with hard objects
such as an ice scraper or ring. Doing so may
damage the windows.
