Volkswagen Polo Owners Manual: Washing the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner
First read and observe the introductory information
and safety warnings
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when
cleaning your vehicle using a high-pressure cleaner. This applies in particular
to the pressure and the spraying distance .
Maintain sufficient distance to soft materials such as rubber hoses, insulation,
and the ParkPilot sensors. The ParkPilot sensors are located in the rear bumper
.
Never use concentrated jet nozzles or dirt blasters
.

WARNING
The incorrect use of a high-pressure cleaner can cause visible and invisible long-term
damage to tyres and other materials. This can cause accidents and serious injuries.
- Maintain sufficient distance between the washer jet and the tyres.
- Never clean the tyres with concentrated jet nozzles (dirt blasters). The
tyres may incur visible and invisible damage even if cleaned briefly with the
spray at a distance.

WARNING
After the car has been washed, the braking effect could set in later than normal
and extend the braking distance as the brake discs and brake pads will be wet, or
iced up in winter.
- You can dry and de-ice the brakes by performing careful braking manoeuvres.
Ensure that you do not endanger any other road users or violate any legal regulations
when doing so.

NOTICE
- The water may be no warmer than +60°C (+140°F).
- Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight in order to avoid damage to the
vehicle paintwork.
- The ParkPilot sensors in the bumpers must be kept clean and free of ice
to guarantee correct function. When cleaning with pressure hoses or steam cleaners,
the sensors should only be sprayed briefly and the steam/hose nozzle must be
kept more than 10 cm away.
- Do not clean windows that are iced over or covered in snow with a high-pressure
cleaner.
- Washing the vehicle in cold weather: if the vehicle is rinsed with a hose,
do not direct the water into the lock cylinders or the gaps round the doors,
boot, or bonnet. The locks and seals could freeze.
