WASHING THE CAR

After using the vehicle off-road (with sig-
nificant contact of wheels, bodywork, be-
low-engine covers and underbody pro-
tection), please remember that you should
always wash it, cleaning the radiators care-
fully (engine cooling and conditioner), the
radiator fan, the wheels (rims and wheel-
houses), the protection covers below the
engine and underbody. This will help pre-
serve correct radiator operation in addi-
tion to ensuring good ventilation of the
brake discs and perfect balance of the
wheels. It will also guarantee that the
transmission shaft functions correctly.
