fluid reservoir; add fluid if neces-
sary.
Use plain water if washer fluid is unavailable.

(VOCs), which are commonly used as anti-freeze agents in washer fluid. A
washer fluid with limited VOC content should be used only if it provides ade-

Maintenance and Care
• When cleaning the plastic lenses of the lights, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly acidic deter gents, or
strongly alkaline detergents. Ot herwise, these chemical agents can
discolor or damage the surfaces resulting in a significant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts become inadvertently exposed to any of
these chemical age nts, flush with water immediately.
• If plastic parts such as the bumpers become inadvertently exposed to chemical agents or fluids such as gasoline, oil, engine cool ant, or
battery fluid, it could cause di scoloration, staining, or paint peeling.
Wipe off any such chemical agents or fluids using a soft cloth imme-
diately.
• 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 vehicl e or
aimed at one area for an extended period of time, it could defo rm
plastic parts or damage the paint.
• Do not use wax containing compounds (polish). Otherwise, it co uld
result in paint damage.
• In addition, do not use an electrical or air tool to apply wax . Other-
wise, the frictional heat generat ed could result in deformation of
plastic parts o r paint damage.

●Do not use any detergent other than mild detergent. Before usin g any
detergent, verify the ingredients.
