198 7-2 Maintenance of Vehicle Body

Wash the vehicle with a special washing agent, the mixing of which should be
conducted according to the washing agent manufacturer's specifications. Dip a
piece of soft cloth into the cleaning solution and then clean the vehicle, but do not
wipe it forcefully. Remove dirt with soapy water and clean water.

Wash the vehicle thoroughly, because soapy water will leave stripes after drying.
Be sure to fully wash all vehicle parts with clean water after washing the vehicle in
hot days.

To prevent leaving water stains, wipe the vehicle body with a clean and soft towel
until the vehicle becomes dry. Avoid forceful wiping or pressing. Otherwise, the
painted surface may be scratched.

Be sure to wash the vehicle at a shady and cool place and after the vehicle fully
cools down.

Wash the part under the floor or the chassis carefully to avoid getting your hand
injured.
WARM TIP

During washing, do not flush the vehicle or allow water to enter the trunk, so as to
prevent water from flowing into the driver's cab.
Wheel trims
Plastic wheel trims are easily damaged by organic substances. If any organic substance
splashes onto the trims, be sure to wash off the organic substance and check if the trims
have been damaged.
WARM TIP

Do not install any wheel trims that have been seriously damaged. Otherwise, wheel
trims may fly away from wheels when the vehicle is running, causing an accident.
Bumpers
During washing, be careful and do not wipe bumpers with detergent that contains any
abrasive material, because the front face of bumpers is soft.
Aluminum wheels
Aluminum wheels can only be washed with neutral soapy water or neutral detergent.
