Volvo XC60: Automatic car wash
• We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first few months (because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
• An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.
CAUTION
• Before driving into an automatic car
wash, turn off the optional rain sensor to
avoid damaging the windshield wipers.
• Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliary
lamps, etc, are secure, and that any
antenna(s) are retracted or removed.
Otherwise there is risk of the machine
dislodging them.
• Chromed wheels: Clean chromeplated
wheels using the same detergents
used for the body of the vehicle.
Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents can
permanently stain chrome-plated
wheels.
WARNING
• When the vehicle is driven immediately
after being washed, apply the brakes,
including the parking brake, several
times in order to remove any moisture
from the brake linings.
• Engine cleaning agents should not be
used when the engine is warm. This
constitutes a fire risk.
