carrying out these manoeuvres, always  
make sure that no people (especially

operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch  
or damage the sensors while cleaning  
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard  
cloths. The sensors must be washed using  
clean water, with the addition of vehicle  
shampoo if necessary. When using special  
washing equipment such as high pressure

very quickly keeping the jet more than  
10 cm away.  
When using or parking the car for a
