you remove the wax from the  
windscreen.  
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp  
chamois leather to clean the inside  
of the rear window.

CAUTION  
Some car wash installations use

could damage certain parts of your  
vehicle.  
Do not use abrasives or chemical  
solvents. Use soapy water.  
Remove the aerial before using  
an automatic car wash.  
Body paintwork

Switch the heater blower off to

vehicle with a sponge and lukewarm  
water containing a car shampoo.  
Do not allow polish to touch  
plastic surfaces. It could be  
difficult to remove.  
Cleaning the headlamps  
CAUTIONS  
Do not apply polish to the  
windscreen or rear window. This  
could cause the wipers to become  
noisy and they may not clear the  
window properly.  
Do not scrape the headlamp  
lenses or use abrasives or  
chemical solvents to clean them.  
Do not wipe the headlamps  
when they are dry.  
We recommend that you wax the  
paintwork once or twice a year.
