Improper use of automatic car washes can cause damage to the vehicle. There is a risk of property damage. Follow the following instructions:
– Give preference to cloth car washes or those that use soft brushes in order to avoid paint damage.
– Note the permissible vehicle dimensions for the car wash.
– Do not drive through a car wash with guide rails higher than 4 in/10 cm to avoid damage to the body.
– Observe the tire width of the guide rail to avoid damage to tires and rims.
– Fold in exterior mirrors to avoid damage to the exterior mirrors.
– Deactivate the wiper and, if necessary, rain sensor to avoid damage to the window wiper system.
– Take off all removable attachments, e.g., antennas.
Driving into a car wash:
Selector lever position P is automatically engaged when standby state is switched off. The wheels are blocked. There is a risk of property damage. Do not switch off standby if the vehicle is meant to coast, e.g., in a car wash. In a car wash, the vehicle must be able to roll freely. Some car washes do not permit persons in the vehicle. The vehicle cannot be locked from the outside when in selector lever position N. A signal sounds when an attempt is made to lock the vehicle.
Driving out of a car wash:
Ensure that the vehicle key is in the car. Turn on drive-ready state.
