Maintenance and care Each graduation of the bubble level represents 0.19° of downward or upward slope. To correct for the effects of surface slope, turn the vertical aim adjustment screw until the bubble is centered at a position corresponding to the slope of the surface. CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR VEHICLE Contact your dealer for more information on recommended cleaners and their availability in your area. Washing your vehicle Wash your vehicle regularly with cold or lukewarm water. Never use strong detergents or soap. If your vehicle is particularly dirty, use a quality car shampoo. Always use a clean sponge and plenty of water for best results. We recommend that you have the underbody of your vehicle washed at the end of the winter to remove deposits left by snow, salt, and water. Wax the body paintwork of your vehicle several times a year. This will help to retain the glossy paintwork finish and water droplets will run off more easily. Remove any after dealer accessories, such as antennae, before entering a commercial car wash. 175
