Power washers
WARNING
Do not use power washers with circular-jet nozzles (dirt grinders) to clean your vehicle, in particular the tires. You could otherwise damage the tires and cause an accident.
Always maintain a distance of at least 11.8 in (30 cm) between the vehicle
and the power washer nozzle. Information about the correct distance is available
from the equipment manufacturer.
Move the power washer nozzle around when cleaning your vehicle.
Do not aim directly at any of the following:
- tires
- door gaps, roof gaps, joints etc.
- electrical components
- battery
- connectors
- lights
- seals
- trim elements
- ventilation slots
Damaged seals or electrical components can lead to leaks or failures.
