remove the electronic key.  
When using a pressure washer, hold the  
lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle

chipped paint, sensors or seals).

workshop if you require advice on removing  
stubborn stains requiring special products

customise your vehicle's bodywork.  
When washing your vehicle, keep the high-  
pressure lance tip at least 30 cm away from the  
stickers.
