Care

ECA15193 Frequent, thorough cleaning of the ve-
hicle will not only enhance its appear-
ance but also will improve its general
performance and extend the useful life
of many components. Washing, clean-
ing, and polishing will also give you a
chance to inspect the condition of the
vehicle more frequently. Be sure to
wash the vehicle after riding in the rain
or near the sea, because salt is corro-
sive to metals.
Special care in winter
NOTICE
In cold weather, when roads may be
salted as a de-icing method, it's im-
portant to clean the vehicle thor-
oughly to remove road salt and
avoid corrosion. Wheel spokes,
bolts/nuts and other unpainted met-
al parts can be especially vulnerable
to corrosion from road salt. Apply an
anti-corrosion product to any vul-
nerable parts after washing and dry-
ing the vehicle.
