E00901500275
1. Remove dirt using a sponge while sprinkling water on the
wheel.

cloth.
Window glass
E00901600045

etc. After washing the glass, wipe dry with a clean, dry, soft
cloth. Never use the same cloth to wipe the window glass as
would be used to wipe the paintwork; wax from the painted
surfaces could adhere to the glass and reduce its transparency
and visibility.NOTE●To clean the inside of the tailgate window, always use a
soft cloth and wipe the window glass along the demister
heater element so as not to cause damage.
●Do not bring the plastic parts into contact with gaso-
line, light oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint
thinners, and sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte)
which may stain, crack or discolour the plastic
parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off with
soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solu-
tion of neutral detergent then immediately rinse the
affected parts with water.

substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing so could
cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become
discoloured or stained.●Do not directly apply hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means.●Contact with seawater and road deicer can cause
corrosion. Rinse off such substances as soon as pos-
sible.
