Cameras and sensors used by a car's driver-assistance system should always be kept clean, says the German car magazine Auto Bild.
Routine cleaning is the only way to ensure that parking sensors and cruise control systems work properly. Otherwise, dirt could disrupt or even cripple the systems, leading to long-term car problems.
On longer journeys, it's a good idea to take advantage of stretch breaks or refuelling stops to clean the sensors.
Using a microfibre cloth and lens cleaner, for example, it's easy to keep the lenses of the front and rear view cameras free of debris. — dpa
