Cleaning windows and outside mirrors
¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and
heed the WARNINGS
Cleaning windows and outside mirrors
Spray windows and outside mirrors with a commercially available
alcohol-based window cleaner.
Dry windows and mirrors with a clean chamois or a lint-free cloth. Do
not use a chamois that has been used to wipe painted surfaces be-
cause it will have absorbed an oily residue that will smear the glass
surfaces.
Use window cleaner or a silicone remover to remove rubber, oil,
grease and silicone deposits ⇒ꢀ .
Removing wax residue
Automatic car washes and vehicle care products can leave a wax
residue on all glass surfaces. These wax residues can only be re-
moved with special cleaners or cleaning cloths. Wax residue left on
the windshield can cause the windshield wipers to grab and squeak
instead of gliding smoothly. We recommend that after every car wash
you remove any wax residue left on the windshield with a window
cleaning cloth/chamois G 052 522 A1 or equivalent.
Windshield wiper squeak and grab can be reduced by filling the wind-
shield washer fluid tank with a wiper fluid containing wax-removing
agents. Make sure to maintain the proper mixing ratio when refilling
the washer fluid tank. Grease-removing cleaning agents cannot re-
move wax residue ⇒ꢀ .
Windshield cleaners, special cleaners, and cleaning cloths are avail-
able from your authorized Volkswagen dealer and authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
Removing snow
Remove snow from all windows and outside mirrors with an appropri-
ate brush.
