Cleaning exterior lights

Dirty lights do not work as well. Clean them regularly, e.g. when refueling.

Wash exterior lights, such as headlights and taillights, using a soft and clean sponge, mild soap and lukewarm water.

It is normal for condensation to form temporarily on the inside of the glass during washing. All outer lights are designed to withstand this. Condensation is normally ventilated out of the light housing once the light has been illuminated for a short period of time.

 Important

Do not use strong detergents or chemicals to clean the lights. These types of products, such as those containing alcohol, may cause cracks in the glass.

 Important

Do not rub with a dry sponge or rag as this could cause electric discharge and damage the components in the light.
