Caring for Your Vehicle

Caring for Your Vehicle
Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean vehicle
makes it easier to spot potential problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of corrosion.
Always wash your vehicle thoroughly after riding
on coastal or treated roads.

Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
1. Rinse your vehicle thoroughly using a low
pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
2. If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel with
mild cleaner to remove road grime.
Clean the windscreen, headlight lens,
u
panels, and other plastic components with
extra care to avoid scratching them. Avoid
directing water into the air cleaner, muffler,
and electrical parts.
3. Thoroughly rinse your vehicle with plenty of
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
