Recommended maintenance for the camera, sensor and radar units
In order for the cameras, parking sensors and radar units to function properly, they must be kept free of dirt, ice, snow, etc. and should be washed regularly with water and car washing detergent.
- Do not attach any items, tape or decals in the areas described below.
- Clean the camera lenses regularly using lukewarm water and car washing detergent. Wash gently to avoid scratching the lens.
- Avoid mounting extra lights or similar in the grille, as this could affect the front radar unit's performance.
