Appearance Care
Aluminium Wheel Maintenance *
A protective coating is provided over the
aluminium wheels. Special care is needed
to protect this coating.
CAUTION
Do not use any detergent other than mild
detergent. Before using any detergent,
verify the ingredients. Otherwise, the
product could discolour or stain the
aluminium wheels.
NOTE
Do not use a wire brush or any
abrasive cleaner, polishing
compound, or solvent on aluminium
wheels. They may damage the
coating.
Always use a sponge or soft cloth to
clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with
lukewarm or cold water. Also, be
sure to clean the wheels after driving
on dusty or salted roads to help
prevent corrosion.
Avoid washing your vehicle in an
automatic car wash that uses high-
speed or hard brushes.
(18-inch wheel vehicle) If your aluminium wheels lose
lustre, apply wax which contains no
polishing powder.
Plastic Part Maintenance

When cleaning the plastic lenses of
the lights, do not use petrol, parafﬁ n,
rectiﬁ ed spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolour or damage the
surfaces resulting in a signiﬁ cant loss
in functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, ﬂ ush with water
immediately.

If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or ﬂ uids such as petrol,
oil, engine coolant, or battery ﬂ uid, it
could cause discolouration, staining,
or paint peeling. Wipe off any such
chemical agents or ﬂ uids using a soft
cloth immediately.

High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended period
of time, it could deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.

Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.

In addition, do not use an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result
in deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.
