Exterior Maintenance
Washing
If the vehicle is operated with foreign
material adhering to the exterior, this
material may react chemically with paint,
resulting in staining, discoloration, rusting
or corrosion of components. Also, the
material may become trapped within
mechanical components, adversely
affecting their functions or forming an
aerodynamic resistance. In the following
cases, therefore, the vehicle must be
washed and all foreign matter removed.
• When soot, iron powder, dead bugs,
bird droppings, tree sap or oily matter
from coal tar and smoke has adhered
to painted surfaces.
• When the vehicle has been driven in
coastal areas.
• When the vehicle has been driven
on roads where road chemicals have
been applied.
• When a large amount of mud or dirt
has adhered to the exterior.
1. Fully turn on the tap, and wash out
the undercarriage and suspension.
2. Close all openings and wash the cab
and cargo body panels using a neutral
detergent.
3. Clean wheels and tyres using a brush
and detergent.
4. After washing away all remaining
detergent, use a shammy or other
clean cloth to fully remove all moisture
and water droplets.
