Notes on use of a high-pressure cleaner
WARNING Risk of an accident when using high-pressure cleaners with round-spray nozzles
The water jet can cause externally invisible damage.
Components damaged in this way may unexpectedly fail.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner with round-spray nozzles.
Have damaged tyres or chassis parts replaced immediately.
NOTE Damage to component parts due to improper high-pressure cleaning
Components can be damaged if the distance of the high-pressure nozzle is too small.
Maintain a minimum distance of about 30 cm between the high-pressure nozzle and car parts.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner with a round-spray nozzle.
Keep the water jet moving constantly while cleaning.
Do not clean the following components with the high-pressure cleaner:
electrical components
plug connectors
reversing camera
drivetrain
seals
hoses
NOTE Damage caused by the use of a high-pressure cleaner in the vehicle interior
The pressurised water created by the high-pressure cleaner and the associated spray could cause considerable damage to the vehicle.
Never use a high-pressure cleaner in the vehicle interior.
NOTE Damage to the emissions control system due to improper cleaning
Cleaning the system when it is warm or the direct effect of water jets in the exhaust pipe can damage the emissions control system.
Clean the system only when it is cold.
Do not direct the water jet into the exhaust pipe.
Washing the engine
NOTE Damage and malfunctions due to washing the engine
To prevent damage and malfunctions of the engine, observe the following points:
when using high-pressure or steam cleaners, do not point the water jet directly at electrical components and the end of electric cables.
make sure that no water enters the vent and ventilation openings.
use preservative agents in the engine after washing the engine.
protect the belt drive from preservation agents.
