EXTERIOR  
To avoid damaging the folding roof,  
use a mild detergent with a clean  
sponge, soft cloth or soft brush.  
Rinse off traces of detergent carefully  
before it dries.  
WARNINGS  
In installations operating with  
high water pressure, water  
might be forced into the vehicles  
interior or parts may get damaged.  
A power washer or hose should be  
aimed downwards on the roof. Do  
not aim at the edge of the roof as this  
could create leaks.

strong sunshine.  
If a waxing cycle is selected, please  
ensure that the wax is removed from  
the windscreen afterwards.  
Cleaning the headlamps  
Wax the body paintwork of your  
vehicle once or twice a year. This will  
help retain the glossy paintwork finish  
and water droplets will run off more  
easily.  
To avoid damaging the clear plastic  
headlamp lens do not use aggressive  
abrasives or chemical solvents. Do  
not wipe the headlamps when they  
are dry or use sharp objects to clean  
the lenses.  
Do not apply polish to windscreen or  
rear window, as this may result in  
poor or noisy wiper action.  
Cleaning the rear window  
To avoid damaging the heating  
elements when cleaning the inside  
of the rear window use only a soft  
cloth or a damp chamois leather. Do  
not use solvent or sharp objects to  
clean the glass.
