WARNING  
Improper use of power washers can cause serious invisible permanent damage leading to tire  
failure and loss of vehicle control. This can cause accidents and severe personal injury.  
Keep sufficient distance between water jet and tires. Never wash tires with a nozzle that  
sprays the water out in a direct stream regardless of the distance to the tire and even for a  
very short time.  
Never use “dirt blasters” to clean tires. Even spraying from a relatively long distance for a  
very short time can do visible or invisible damage to tires.  
WARNING  
After the vehicle has been washed, the wet brakes or, in winter, brake discs or pads coated  
with ice, react slower and need longer stopping distances.  
Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a few careful applications of the  
brake. Make sure not to endanger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.  
NOTICE  
Water temperature should not be more than +140 °F (+60 °C).  
To help prevent damage to the paint, do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.  
Do not clean icy or snow-covered windows with a power washer.  
When washing or rinsing the vehicle in cold weather, do not let water get into the lock  
cylinders or point the hose at gaps around the doors, hood, or rear hatch. The water could  
freeze on the locks and seals and make it difficult to open the vehicle!  
Undercoating  
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS  
..  
The vehicle underbody is coated to help protect it from corrosion and damage. The undercoating could  
be damaged during normal use. We therefore recommend that you have the protective coatings on the  
underbody and suspension inspected regularly, and repaired if necessary.  
WARNING  
Undercoating and rustproofing products can catch fire on the hot exhaust system or any  
other hot engine component.  
Never apply additional undercoating or rust proofing on or near the exhaust manifold, the  
exhaust pipes, the catalytic converter, the heat shields, or any other hot vehicle component.
