the positive (+) or negative (-)
terminal of the lead-acid battery
when working near a lead-acid
battery. Do not allow the positive (+)
terminal to contact the vehicle body:

resulting in a signi ficant loss in
functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, flush with water
immediately.
If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as
coolant, or lead-acid battery fluid, it
could cause discoloration, staining ,
or paint peeling. Wipe o ff any such

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.
