these parts before operatin g the
vehicle. [EWA20650]
5. Treat rubber, vinyl, and unpainted plastic parts with a suitable care
product.
6. Touch up minor paint damage caused by stones, etc.

moisture.
9. If the headlight lens has fogged up, start the engine and turn on
the headlight to help remove the
moisture.
