WARNING
• When cleaning the bottom of the vehicle or chassis, be careful so as to prevent
burns and injuries. The area around the engine, diesel particulate defuser (DPD),
urea selective catalytic reduction (SCR), muffler, and exhaust pipe are extremely
hot immediately after vehicle operation, so wait until the vehicle has cooled
down before cleaning. Otherwise, you could be burned.
CAUTION
• For models with the automatic windshield wiper, be sure to set the windshield
wiper switch to the "OFF" position. When the windshield wiper switch is in the
"AUTO" position, the wipers may operate unexpectedly and cause injury or
damage the wipers.
• Do not apply water directly in order to clean the cab interior. Failure to observe
this precaution can result in malfunction or breakdown of electronic control units
and electrical components, or in rusting of the cab floor.
• Do not apply water from a high-pressure washer nozzle directly to the electric
connectors. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to faulty operation of the
electrical system.
• Do not point the car wash nozzle at the tail end of the exhaust pipe. Water
splashing on the sensor in the exhaust pipe could cause a malfunction.
ADVICE
• Do not use solvents, gasoline, kerosene, benzine, or thinner, etc., to clean the
vehicle exterior.
• If an automatic car wash is used with vehicles having dark or metallic coating,
the painted surfaces can be damaged by the brushes, lose their luster or be
very noticeably scratched.
• Do not direct a large amount of water at the air inlet openings.
• Do not apply water to the engine compartment or at electrical components.
Failure to observe this precaution can lead to a poorly starting and operating
engine and problems in the electrical system.
• Ensure that mirrors and the antenna are retracted before washing the vehicle.
• If an automatic car wash must be used, avoid a high-temperature, high-pressure
type machine. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to heat deformation
and breakage of plastic components, or to water leaks into the cab.
