washes may scratch the vehicle
surface, parts (wheel, etc.) and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
●
Vehicles with a rear spoiler: In cer-
tain automatic car washes, the
rear spoiler may interfere with
machine operation. This may pre-
vent the vehicle from being
cleaned properly or result in dam-
age to the rear spoiler.
■
High pressure car washes
As water may enter the cabin, do
not bring the nozzle tip near the
gaps around the doors or perimeter
of the windows, or spray these
areas continuously.
■
