Practical tips

●

Never turn the 12-volt battery over. Elec-

trolyte could leak out of the vents and
cause burns.

●

Never open a 12-volt battery.

●

If the electrolyte splashes onto the skin

or eyes, rinse the affected area with cold
water for a few minutes. Then seek medical
care immediately.

●

Seek medical care immediately if you in-

gest the acid.

Charging, replacing, disconnect-
ing and connecting the 12-volt bat-
tery

If the 12-volt battery is suspected of being
damaged or defective, have it checked by a
qualified establishment.

Charging the 12-volt battery

The 12-volt battery must be charged at a
qualified establishment, as the factory fitted
12-volt battery technology requires a voltage
limited charge

›››

. SEAT recommends visit-

ing a SEAT dealership for this.

Replacing the 12-volt battery

The 12-volt battery is developed to suit its lo-
cation and has special safety features. When
a 12-volt battery needs to be replaced, be-
fore buying a new one you must ask a SEAT

dealership about electromagnetic compati-
bility, size and maintenance, power and safe-
ty requirements that the new battery must
meet. The 12-volt battery's vent must always
be on the side of the negative terminal and
the vent on the positive terminal must always
be closed.

A maintenance-free battery that meets the
TL 825 06 and VW 7 50 73 standards must al-
ways be used. These standards must be dat-
ed October 2014 or later.

The 12-volt battery must always be replaced
by a qualified establishment, as it is necessa-
ry to adjust the vehicle's electronic system as
part of its replacement. Only a qualified es-
tablishment has the appropriate technology
to make this adjustment correctly. SEAT rec-
ommends that the 12-volt battery be re-
placed by a SEAT dealer.

Disconnecting the 12-volt battery

If the 12-volt battery needs to be disconnec-
ted from the vehicle's electrical system, these
steps should be followed:

●

Switch off the ignition and all electrical

consumers.

●

Before disconnecting the battery, unlock

the vehicle or theft alarm system will activate.

●

First disconnect the negative cable and

then the positive cable

›››

Connecting the 12-volt battery

●

Before reconnecting the 12-volt battery,

disconnect all electrical consumers and the
ignition.

●

First reconnect the positive cable and then

the negative one

›››

After connecting the 12-volt battery and turn-
ing on the ignition, different indicator lights
may come on. They will turn off when a short
distance is driven at approximately 15-20
km/h. If the warning indicators remain lit,
please visit a qualified establishment to have
the vehicle checked.

If the 12-volt battery has been disconnected
for a long time, it's possible that the next serv-
ice appointment might not be displayed or
calculated correctly.

Automatic disconnection of consumers

Thanks to the smart management of the on-
board network, when the 12-volt battery is
overcharged different measures are taken to
prevent the 12-volt battery from discharging:

●

If necessary, the power in the largest con-

sumers is limited, or they are disconnected
completely in an emergency.

However, on-board network management
cannot always prevent the 12-volt battery

186

Verification and replacement

from discharging. For example, if the ignition is
kept on for a long time with the engine stop-
ped or if the parking or side light is left on for
a long time.

The 12-volt battery discharges

●

if electrical consumers are used while the

drive system is switched off.

WARNING

Incorrectly installing the 12-volt battery or
using an inappropriate 12-volt battery can
cause short circuits, fires and severe inju-
ries.

●

Maintenance-free and leak-protected

12-volt batteries must always be used, and
they must have the same characteristics,
specifications and dimensions as the fac-
tory-fitted 12-volt battery.

WARNING

A highly explosive gas mixture is generated
during the charging process of the 12-volt
battery.

●

Only charge the 12-volt battery in a well-

ventilated place.

●

Never charge a frozen or thawed 12-volt

battery. A discharged 12 volt battery may
freeze at a temperature of just 0 °C (+32
°F).

●

Any 12-volt battery that has frozen must

be replaced.

●

Incorrectly connected connection cables

can cause a short circuit. First connect the
positive cable and then the negative one.

CAUTION

Never connect power supply accessories,
such as solar panels or battery chargers, to
the 12-volt socket or cigarette lighter to
charge the 12-volt battery. This could dam-
age the vehicle's electrical system.

For the sake of the environment

●

12-volt batteries contain toxic substan-

ces such as sulphuric acid and lead. The 12
volt battery must be disposed of in accord-
ance with current regulations.

●

Electrolyte can contaminate the environ-

ment. Used vehicle fluids must be collected
and disposed of properly.

Wheels

Wheels and tyres

General notes

–

When driving with

new tyres

, be especially

careful during the first 500 km (300 miles).

–

If you have to drive over a kerb or similar
obstacle, drive very slowly and as near as
possible at a right angle to the obstacle.

–

Check from time to time if the tyres are
damaged (punctures, cuts, cracks or
dents). Remove any foreign objects em-
bedded in the treads.

–

Damaged wheels and tyres must be re-
placed immediately.

–

Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.

–

Replace any missing valve caps as soon as
possible.

–

Mark the wheels before taking them off so
that they rotate in the same direction when
put back.

–

When removed, the wheels or tyres should
be stored in a cool, dry and preferably dark
place.

Low profile tyres

Low profile tyres have a wider tread, a larger
wheel diameter and a lower sidewall height.
Therefore, its driving behaviour is more agile.

Low profile tyres may deteriorate more quick-
ly than standard tyres, for instance due to
strong knocks, potholes, manhole covers and
kerbs. Correct tyre pressure is very important

›››

page 191

To avoid damage to tyres and wheels, drive
with special care when driving on roads in
poor condition.

Visually check your wheels every 3000 km.

If the tyres or rims have received a heavy im-
pact or have been damaged, have a special-
ised workshop check whether or not it is nec-
essary to change the tyre.

Low profile tyres may deteriorate more quick-
ly than standard tyres.

Concealed damage

Damage to tyres and rims is often not readily
visible. If you notice unusual

vibration

or the

car

pulling to one side

, this may indicate

that one of the tyres is damaged. Reduce
speed immediately if there is any reason to
suspect that damage may have occurred. In-
spect the tyres for damage. If no external
damage is visible, drive slowly and carefully
to the nearest specialised workshop and
have the car inspected.

188

Wheels

Foreign objects inserted in the tyre

●

Do not remove foreign bodies if they have

penetrated through the tyre wall!

●

If the vehicle comes with a tyre mobility

system, where necessary seal the damaged
tyre as shown in section

›››

page 35

. Use a

specialised workshop for repair or replace-
ment. SEAT recommends visiting a SEAT
dealership for this.

The sealant at the lower part of the tyre tread
wraps around the foreign body and provision-
ally seals the tyre.

Tyres with directional tread pattern

An arrow on the tyre sidewall indicates the di-
rection of rotation on single drive tyres. Al-
ways note the direction of rotation indicated
when mounting the wheel. This makes sure
that optimal use is made of tyre properties in
terms of aquaplaning, grip, excessive noise
and wear.

Subsequent fitting of accessories

If you wish to change or fit wheels, rims or
wheel trims, we recommend that you consult
with a SEAT Official Service centre for advice
regarding current techniques.

Speed symbols

The speed rating indicates the maximum
speed permitted for the tyres.

max. 150 km/h (93 mph)
max. 160 km/h (99 mph)
max. 170 km/h (106 mph)
max. 180 km/h (112 mph)
max. 190 km/h (118 mph)
max. 200 km/h (124 mph)
max. 210 km/h (130 mph)
max. 240 km/h (149 mph)

Some manufacturers use the letters “ZR” for
tyres with a maximum authorised speed
above 240 km/h (149 mph).

WARNING

●

New tyres do not have maximum grip dur-

ing the first 500 km. Drive particularly
carefully to avoid possible accidents.

●

Never drive with damaged tyres. This

may cause an accident.

●

If you notice unusual vibrations or if the

vehicle pulls to one side when driving, stop
the vehicle immediately and check the
tyres.

●

Never use old tyres or those with an un-

known history of use.

New wheels and tyres

It is best to have all wheels and tyres serviced
by a specialised workshop. There they have
the required knowledge, the special tools and
the corresponding spare parts.

●

Even winter tyres lose their grip on ice. If you

have installed new tyres, drive the first 500
km carefully and at a moderate speed.

●

All four wheels must be fitted with tyres of

the same type, size (rolling circumference)
and, if possible, tread pattern.

●

When changing tyres, do not change just

one; change at least two on the same axle.

●

If you want to equip your vehicle with a

combination tyres and rims that are different
to those fitted in the factory, inform your spe-
cialised workshop before purchasing them

›››

The sizes of the rims and tyres approved for
your vehicle are listed in the vehicle docu-
mentation (e.g. EC Certificate of Conformity
or COC document

). The vehicle documen-

tation varies depending on the country of res-
idence.

If the type of spare wheel is different form the
normal wheels — e.g. in the case of winter
tyres or particularly wide tyres — the spare
wheel should only be used temporarily in the

COC =

certificate of conformity

189

Practical tips

event of a puncture, and the vehicle should
be driven with care. Refit the normal road
wheel as soon as possible.

Manufacturing date

The manufacturing date is also indicated on
the tyre sidewall (or on the inside face of the
wheel):

DOT ... 2218 ...

it means, for example, that the tyre was man-
ufactured in the 22nd week of 2018.

WARNING

●

Use only combinations of tyres and rims,

as well as suitable wheel nuts, approved by
SEAT. Otherwise the vehicle may be dam-
aged, causing an accident.

●

For technical reasons it is not possible to

use wheels of other vehicles; in some cases
not even wheels from the same vehicle
model should be used.

●

Always ensure that the tyres you have

chosen have adequate clearance. When
selecting replacement tyres, do not rely
entirely on the nominal tyre size marked on
the tyre, since the nominal tyre size can dif-
fer significantly depending on the manu-
facturer. Lack of clearance can damage
the tyres or the vehicle and, as a result, en-
danger road safety. Risk of accident!

●

Only use tyres that are over 6 years old in

an emergency, and drive with due care.

●

The fitting of tyres with run-flat proper-

ties is not permitted on your vehicle! Pro-
hibited use can cause accidents or can
damage your vehicle.

●

If decorative hubcaps are subsequently

fitted, make sure that they allow enough air
in to cool the braking system. Risk of acci-
dent!

For the sake of the environment

Old tyres must be disposed of according to
the laws in the country concerned.

Note

●

A SEAT Service Centre should be consul-

ted to find out whether wheels or tyres of
different sizes to those originally fitted by
SEAT can be fitted, and to find out about
the combinations allowed between the
front axle (axle 1) and the rear axle (axle 2).

●

Never mount used tyres if you are not

sure of their “previous history”.

Tyre life

Fig. 168

Location of the tyre pressure sticker.

Correct inflation pressures and sensible driv-
ing habits will increase the useful life of your
tyres.

●

Check tyre pressure at least once a month,

and also prior to any long trip.

●

The tyre pressure should only be checked

when the tyres are

cold

. Do not reduce the

pressure of warm tyres.

●

Adjust tyre pressure to the load being car-

ried by the vehicle

›››

Fig. 168

●

In vehicles with a tyre pressure indicator,

save the modified tyre pressure

Wheels

●

Avoid fast cornering and hard acceleration.

●

Inspect the tyres for irregular wear from

time to time.

Tyre pressure

The tyre inflation pressures are listed on a
sticker on the rear of the front left door frame

›››

Fig. 168

Insufficient or excessive pressure greatly re-
duces the useful life of the tyres and adverse-
ly affects vehicle performance and ride. Cor-
rect inflation pressures are very important,
especially at

high speeds

Depending on the vehicle, tyre pressure can
be adjusted to medium load to improve driv-
ing comfort (tyre pressure



›››

Fig. 168

When driving with comfort tyre pressure, en-
ergy consumption may increase slightly.

The tyre pressure must be adjusted accord-
ing to the load the vehicle is carrying. If the
vehicle is going to carry the maximum load,
the tyre pressure should be increased to the
maximum value indicated on the sticker

›››

Fig. 168

Do not forget the spare wheel when checking
the tyre pressures: Keep this spare wheel in-
flated to the highest pressure required for the
road wheels.

In the case of a minimised temporary spare
wheel (125/70 R16 or 125/70 R18), inflate to a

pressure of 4.2 bar as indicated on the tyre
pressure label

›››

Fig. 168

Driving style

Fast cornering, heavy acceleration and hard
braking (squealing tyres) all increase tyre
wear.

Wheel balance

The wheels on new vehicles are balanced.
However, certain circumstances may lead to
imbalance (run-out), which is detected as vi-
brations in the steering wheel.

Unbalanced wheels should be rebalanced,
as they otherwise cause excessive wear on
steering, suspension and tyres. A wheel must
also be rebalanced when a new tyre is fitted
or if a tyre is repaired.

Incorrect wheel alignment

Incorrect running gear alignment causes ex-
cessive tyre wear, impairing the safety of the
vehicle. If you notice excessive tyre wear, you
should check wheel alignment at a SEAT Of-
ficial Service.

WARNING

Unsuitable handling of the wheels and
tyres may lead to sudden tyre pressure los-
ses, to tread separation or even to a blow-
out.

●

The driver is responsible for ensuring that

all of the vehicle tyres are correctly infla-
ted to the right pressure. The recommen-
ded tyre pressure is indicated on the label

›››

Fig. 168

●

Check tyre pressures regularly and en-

sure they are maintained at the pressures
indicated. Tyre pressure that is too low
could cause overheating, resulting in tread
detachment or even burst tyres.

●

When the tyres are cold, tyre pressure

should be that indicated on the label

›››

Fig. 168

●

Regularly check the cold inflation pres-

sure of the tyres. If necessary, change the
tyre pressure of the vehicle tyres while they
are cold.

●

Regularly check your tyres for damage

and wear.

●

Never exceed the maximum permitted

speed or loads specified for the type of
tyre fitted on your vehicle.

For the sake of the environment

Insufficient tyre pressure increases energy
consumption.

Practical tips

Tread wear indicators

Fig. 169

Tyre profile: tread wear indicators.

Fig. 170

Interchanging tyres.

Wear indicators around 1.6 mm high can be
found on the base of the original tyre treads,
ordered at regular intervals and running
across the tread

›››

Fig. 169

. The letters "TWI"

or triangles on the sidewall of the tyre mark
the position of the wear indicators.

The minimum permitted profile depth

have

been reached when the tyres have worn
down to the wear indicators. Replace the
tyres with new ones

›››

Changing wheels around

To ensure that the wear is equal on all tyres
the wheels should be changed round from
time to time according to the system

›››

Fig. 170

. The useful life of all the tyres will

then be about the same time.

WARNING

The tyres must be replaced at the latest
when the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators. Failure to follow this in-
struction could result in an accident.

●

Particularly in difficult driving conditions

such as wet or icy roads. It is important that
the tyre tread be as deep as possible and
be approximately the same on the tyres of
both the front and the rear axles.

●

The scant driving safety due to insuffi-

cient tread depth is particularly evident in
vehicle handling, when there is a risk of
“aquaplaning” in deep puddles of water

and when driving through corners, and
braking is also adversely affected.

●

The speed has to be adapted according-

ly, otherwise there is a risk of losing control
over the vehicle.

Wheel nuts

The

wheel bolts

are matched to the rims.

When installing different wheels (for instance
alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres) it is
important to use the correct wheel bolts with
the right length and correctly shaped bolt
heads. This ensures that wheels are fitted se-
curely and that the brake system functions
correctly.

The wheel bolts must be clean and turn easi-
ly.

A special adapter is required to remove the
anti-theft wheel bolts

›››

page 39

WARNING

Wheel nuts should never be greased or
oiled.

●

Use only wheel bolts which belong to the

wheel.

Follow the regulations of the country you are

driving in.

192

Wheels

●

If the prescribed torque of the wheel

bolts is too low, they could loosen whilst
the vehicle is in motion. Risk of accident! If
the tightening torque is too high, the wheel
bolts and threads can be damaged.

CAUTION

See

›››

page 42

to find out the recommen-

ded tightening torque for wheel nuts for
steel and alloy rims.

Winter tyres

–

Winter tyres must be fitted

on all four

wheels.

–

Only use winter tyres that are approved for
your vehicle.

–

Please note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than
for summer tyres.

–

Also note that winter tyres are no longer ef-
fective when the

tread

is worn down.

–

After fitting the wheels you must always
check the tyre pressures. When doing so,
take into account the correct tyre pressures
listed on the rear of the front left door frame

›››

page 190

In winter road conditions winter tyres will con-
siderably improve vehicle handling. The de-
sign of summer tyres (width, rubber com-
pound, tread pattern) gives less grip on ice
and snow. This applies particularly to vehicles
equipped with

wide section tyres

or with

high speed tyres

(code letters H, V or Y on

the sidewall).

Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap-
proved for your vehicle. The sizes of these
tyres are specified in the vehicle's documents
(e.g. EC Certificate of Conformity or COC

The vehicle documentation varies depending
on the country of residence.

Winter tyres lose a great deal of their proper-
ties when the

tread

is worn down to a depth

of 4 mm.

The performance of winter tyres is also se-
verely impaired by

ageing

, even if the tread is

still much deeper than 4 mm.

A code letter indicating the speed limit is
stamped on all winter tyres

›››

page 189

Vehicles capable of exceeding these speeds
must have an appropriate

sticker

attached

so that it is visible to the driver. Suitable stick-
ers are available from the SEAT Official Serv-
ice and specialised workshop. Please note
the regulations to this effect in your country.

“All-weather” tyres can also be used instead
of winter tyres.

Using winter tyres with V-rating

Please note that the generally applicable
240 km/h (149 mph) speed for winter tyres
with the letter V is subject to

technical re-

strictions; the maximum permissible speed
for your vehicle may be significantly lower

The maximum speed limit for these tyres de-
pends directly on the maximum axle weights
for your car and on the listed weight rating of
the tyres being used.

It is best to contact a SEAT Official Service to
check the maximum speed which is permissi-
ble for the V-rated tyres fitted on your car on
the basis of this information.

WARNING

Exceeding the maximum speed permitted
for the winter tyres fitted on your car can
cause tyre failure, resulting in a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle – risk of accident.

For the sake of the environment

When winter is over, change back to sum-
mer tyres at an appropriate moment. In
temperatures above +7°C (+45°F), perform-
ance will be improved if summer tyres are

COC =

Practical tips

used. Rolling noise, wear and energy con-
sumption will all be reduced.

Snow chains

Snow chains should

only be used on the

front wheels

●

Check that they are correctly seated after

driving for a few yards; correct the position if
necessary, in accordance with the manufac-
turer's fitting instructions.

●

Keep your speed below 50 km/h (30 mph).

Snow chains will improve

braking ability

well as

traction

in winter conditions.

For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used with the following wheel rim/tyre
combination.

165/70 R14

Chains with links of maximum 15 mm

175/65 R14

Remove any central wheel trims and the rim
ring before fitting snow chains.

WARNING

The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
chains could lead to serious accidents and
damage.

●

Always the appropriate snow chains.

●

Observe the fitting instructions provided

by the snow chain manufacturer.

●

Never exceed the maximum permitted

speeds when driving with snow chains.

CAUTION

●

Remove the snow chains to drive on

roads without snow. Otherwise they will im-
pair vehicle handling, damage the tyres
and wear out very quickly.

●

Wheel rims may be damaged or scratch-

ed if the chains come into direct contact
with them. SEAT recommends the use of
covered snow chains.

Tyre pressure setting

On adjusting tyre pressure or changing one
or more wheels, the

›››

Fig. 171

button must

be kept pressed down, with the ignition on,
until an acoustic signal is heard.

If the wheels are under excessive load (for ex-
ample, driving with a trailer or heavy load),
the tyre pressure must be increased to the
recommended value for a full load (see the
sticker

›››

Fig. 168

). If the tyre monitor system

button is pressed down, the new tyre pres-
sures are confirmed.

WARNING

When the tyres are inflated at different
pressures or at a pressure that is too low
then a tyre may be damaged resulting in a
loss of control of the vehicle and a serious
or fatal accident.

●

If the lamp



lights up, reduce speed im-

mediately and avoid any sudden turning or
braking manoeuvre. Stop when possible,
and check the tyre pressure and status.

●

The tyre monitoring system can only op-

erate correctly if all of the tyres are infla-
ted to the correct pressure when cold.

●

If a tyre has not been punctured and it

does not have to be changed immediately,
drive to the nearest specialised workshop
at a moderate speed and have the tyre
checked and inflated to the correct pres-
sure.

Note

●

Driving for the first time with new tyres at

a high speed can cause them to slightly ex-
pand, which could then produce an air
pressure warning.

●

Do not only rely on the tyre monitoring

system. Regularly check your tyres to en-
sure that the tyre pressure is correct and
that the tyres are not damaged due to
puncture, cuts, tears and impacts/dents.
Remove objects from the tyres only when
they have not pierced the tyres.

●

The tyre monitoring indicator does not

function when there is a fault in the ESC or
ABS

Vehicle maintenance

Maintenance and cleaning

Basic observations

Regular and careful care helps to maintain
the value of your vehicle. In addition, it may
become a prerequisite to demand the war-
ranty in the event of corrosion damage and
deficiencies in the paint coat of the body-
work.

Specialised workshops have the necessary
care products. Please follow the instructions
for application on the packaging.

WARNING

●

Cleaning products and other materials

used for car care can be damaging to your
health if misused.

●

Always keep care products in a safe

place, out of the reach of children. Danger
of poisoning!

For the sake of the environment

●

When purchasing car care products,

chose products that are compatible with
the environment.

●

The waste from car-care products should

not be disposed of with ordinary household
waste.

Vehicle maintenance

Washing the vehicle

The longer you take to clean the tanks, e.g.
remains of insects, bird excrements, tree resin
or anti frost salt adhered to your vehicle, the
more damage it can cause to the surface.
High temperatures, for instance strong sun-
light, further intensify the damage.

Before washing the car, soften the dirt using
plenty of water.

To remove encrusted dirt such as insects, bird
droppings or tree resin, use a lot of water and
a microfibre cloth.

Have the underside of the vehicle washed af-
ter the end of the anti frost salts in winter.

High pressure cleaning equipment

When washing the vehicle with a high-pres-
sure cleaner, always follow the operating in-
structions for the equipment. This applies
particularly to the operating pressure and the
distance between the spraying water. Do not
point the jet directly towards the side win-
dows, doors or covers; the same applies for
the tyres, rubber hoses, damping material,
sensors or camera lenses. Keep a distance of
at least 40 cm.

Do not remove snow and ice with a high-
pressure cleaner.

Do not use a nozzle that sprays the water out
in a direct stream or one that has a rotating
jet for forcing off dirt.

The water temperature must not exceed
60°C.

Automatic car washes

Spray the vehicle before starting the car
wash.

Make sure that the windows are closed and
the windscreen wipers are deactivated. Bear
in mind the instructions of the car wash tunnel
operator, especially if your vehicle has de-
tachable parts.

Use of car washes without brushes if possible.

Washing by hand

Clean your vehicle from top to bottom with a
soft sponge or with a brush. Only use clean-
ing products that do not contain solvents.

Washing vehicles with a matte paint by
hand

To prevent damage to the vehicle when
washing it, first remove the thicker dust and
dirt. To remove traces of insects, grease and
fingerprints, it is best to use a special cleaner
for matte paint.

Apply the product with a microfibre cloth. To
avoid damaging the surface of the paint, do
not apply too much pressure.

Rinse with plenty of water. Then clean it with
a neutral cleaning product and a soft microfi-
bre cloth.

Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of water
and then leave it to dry. Remove traces of
water with a leather cloth.

WARNING

●

Only wash the vehicle with the ignition

switched off or according to the specifica-
tions of the car wash tunnel operator. Risk
of accident!

●

When cleaning the underbody or the in-

side of the wheel arches, protect yourself
from sharp or pointy metal parts. Risk of
cut!

●

After cleaning the brakes could act more

slowly due to moisture or, in winter, the ice
on the brake discs and pads. Risk of acci-
dent! In this case the brakes should be
dried by pressing the brake pedal several
times.

CAUTION

●

Before washing the vehicle in an auto-

matic car wash, please make sure to re-
tract the exterior mirrors to prevent them
from being damaged. The electric folding
exterior mirrors should only be folded elec-
tronically!

●

Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.

Risk of damaging the paint job!

199

Maintenance

●

Do not use sponges, abrasive household

sponges or similar to clean insect remains.
Risk of damaging the surface!

●

Vehicle parts with matte paint:

–

Do not use polish or hard wax. Risk of
damaging the surface!

–

Never select washing programmes that
include the use of wax. This could dam-
age the appearance of matte paint.

–

Do not put stickers or magnets on parts
with matte paint, as removing them
may damage the paint.

For the sake of the environment

The car should only be washed in special
wash bays. These places are designed to
prevent the water that is used for washing,
which may be contaminated, from entering
the drains.

Cleaning and maintenance instruc-
tions

The cleaning and maintenance of individual
components of the vehicle can be checked in
the following tables. The contents should be
understood merely as a recommendation. Go
to your specialised workshop if you have spe-
