When washing the vehicle, park it where
direct sunlight does not fall on it and fol-
low the instructions below:
Flush the underside of body and wheel
housings with pressurized water to remove
mud and debris. Use plenty of water.
IMPORTANT When washing the vehicle,
avoid directing steam or hot water of
more than 80°C (176°F) on plastic parts.
To avoid damaging engine components, do
not use pressurized water in the engine
compartment.Rinse the body to loosen the dirt. Remove
dirt and mud from the body exterior with
running water. You may use a soft sponge
or brush. Do not use hard materials which
can scratch the paint or plastic. Remem-
ber that the headlight covers or lenses are
made of plastic in many cases.
IMPORTANT To avoid damage to the
paint or plastic surface, do not wipe the
dirt off without ample water. Be sure to
follow above procedure.
Wash the entire exterior with a mild de-
tergent or vehicle wash soap using a
sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth
should be frequently soaked in the soap
solution.
IMPORTANT When using a commercial
vehicle wash product, observe the cau-
tions specified by the manufacturer. Nev-
er use strong household detergents or
soaps.
– Never attempt to wash
and wax your vehicle with
the engine running.
– When cleaning the underside of the
body and fender, where there may
be sharp-edged parts, you should
wear gloves and a long sleeved shirt
to protect your hands and arms from
being cut.
– After washing your vehicle, care-
fully test the brakes before driving to
make sure they have maintained
their normal effectiveness.
