Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Stop the vehicle, keep it switched on, close the windows and roof and confirm the wash dimensions are suitable.
- 02
Open Home > Settings > Vehicle > Driving and select Automatic Car Wash Mode.
- 03
Select Activate and verify the driver display confirms the mode without an unavailable marker beside a required adjustment.
- 04
For a conveyor wash, follow the operator's instructions for Neutral and lock the vehicle from inside if the manual and wash procedure require it.
- 05
After the wash, select Switch Off or Deactivate; the mode also ends automatically above 12 mph (20 km/h).
Important limits
- Car Wash Mode does not replace manually checking windows, roof, door handles and conveyor requirements.
- Do not leave the vehicle without following the operator's key and Neutral instructions because Park can engage automatically.
- Braking effect may be reduced immediately after washing.
Quick checks.
- ✓Do not enter the wash when an X or unavailable marker shows that a necessary setting could not be applied.
- ✓If Park engages on the conveyor, follow the wash operator's safe-stop instructions before changing vehicle state.
- ✓After exiting, brake carefully until normal braking effect is restored and deactivate the mode manually if settings did not reset.
