WARNING Improper care and cleaning of vehicle components can impact the safety features of the ve- hicle and cause severe injuries. x Always clean and maintain vehicle components according to manufacturer's instructions. x Only use approved or recommended cleaners. NOTICE Vehicle care products containing solvents can damage plastics and other vehicle the materials. Wash the vehicle only at specifically designated wash locations to help prevent water contami- nated with oil, grease and fuel from entering the storm drain sewer system.

When buying vehicle care products, try to choose those that are not harmful to the environment. Never throw out vehicle care products with ordinary household waste. Always read and heed all the instructions and all WARNINGS on the package. Washing the vehicle ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS The longer insect splatter, bird droppings, tree sap, road dirt, industrial deposits, tar, soot, road salt, and other aggressive materials stay on your vehicle, the more damage they do to the paint finish. High temperatures (including strong sunlight) increase the corrosive effects. The vehicle underbody should also be washed regularly and thoroughly. Car wash Pay close attention to the information provided by the car wash operator. Before going through a car wash, be sure to take the usual precautions to help prevent damage, such as closing the windows, folding back the outside mirrors, etc. If you have installed additional accessories on the vehicle, such as a spoiler, a roof rack, or an antenna, always ask the car wash operator if this poses a problem ⇒ . The paint finish is tough enough that the vehicle can normally be washed without problems in an automatic car wash. However, the effect on the paint depends to a large extent on the type of car wash. Volkswagen recommends using brushless car wash facilities. To remove wax residue from the windows and avoid jerky windshield wiper movement, heed the following tips ⇒ Cleaning windows and outside mirrors. Washing by hand When washing by hand, first soften the dirt with plenty of water and then rinse off as much dirt as possible. Then clean the vehicle with a soft sponge, a washing mitt or brush using only light pressure. Start on the roof and work down. Use special shampoo only on hard-to-remove dirt or grime. Rinse the sponge or glove thoroughly and often.
