WARNING
Car care products can be toxic and hazardous. Unsuitable care products and incorrect
application of care products can cause accidents, serious injuries, burns or poisoning.
- The care product must be kept in its original sealed container.
- Read the manufacturer's instructions.
- Never store car care products in empty food containers, bottles or any other
non-original containers as people finding these containers may not know that
they contain care products.
- Keep children away from care products.
- The products can give off harmful fumes during use. They should therefore
only be used outside or in well-ventilated spaces.
- Never use fuel, turpentine, engine oil, nail varnish remover or other volatile
fluids to wash, clean or care for your vehicle. These substances are toxic and
highly inflammable.

WARNING
Incorrect care and cleaning of vehicle parts can impair the safety features of the
vehicle and thus cause serious injury.
- Vehicle parts must be cleaned according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Only use approved or recommended cleaning products.

NOTICE
Cleaning agents that contain solvents attack the material and can cause damage.
In the interests of environmental protection, the vehicle should only be washed
in specially provided wash bays. This prevents waste water contaminated with oil,
grease or fuel from entering the sewerage system. In some countries, washing vehicles
anywhere else may be prohibited.
Environmentally-friendly care products should be used.
Leftover car care products should not be disposed of with ordinary household waste.
Read the manufacturer's instructions.
