WARNING: When handling cleaning agent, observe following protective measures:

Wear protective rubber gloves and protective goggles.

If cleaning agent comes into contact with eyes or skin, wash immediately with lots of water.

Comply with NOTES AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HANDLING CLEANING AGENTS.

A new spray lance was developed for professional cleaning and disinfection of the evaporator of the heating and air conditioning system. Course dirt contamination and bacteria can only be effectively eliminated with this spray lance.

IMPORTANT: To avoid dirtying vehicle interior:

  • Close all air vents
  • Heater - A/C system must be switched to air recirculation function
  • Cover carpet in work area

Recycling: Carry out the cleaning operation in a suitable washing bay as the emerging cleaning agent escapes through the drain openings in the transmission tunnel.

After completing cleaning, allow car to drip-dry for approx. 5 minutes.

Necessary preliminary tasks:

  • Remove REAR UNDERBODY PROTECTION
  • Remove MICROFILTER FOR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT VENTILATION
