in front and "dry" the brakes by applying them at
intervals. Make sure that this does not affect the
traffic behind you.
Chemical cleaners
WARNING
Cleaning agents may be hazardous to your health.
Most chemical cleaners are concentrates which re-
quire dilution. High concentrations might cause
problems ranging from irritation to serious injury.
e Keep cleaning agents out of the reach of
children.
e Observe all caution labels.
e Always read the directions on the container be-
fore using any product. These directions may
contain information necessary to avoid personal
injury.
e Do not use fuel, kerosene, naphtha, nail polish
remover or other volatile cleaning fluids. They
may be toxic, flammable or hazardous in other
ways. Only use spot removing fluids in a well
ventilated area.
e Do not clean the underside of the chassis, fend-
ers, wheel covers, etc. without protecting your
hands and arms as you may cut yourself on
sharp-edged metal parts.

High-voltage battery care
General charging and care instructions
The high-voltage battery is subject to aging and
wear and tear brought about by a physical and
chemical process. This reduces the high-voltage
battery's capacity during its lifecycle, which, along
with usage and ambient conditions, diminishes the
maximum range available and increases charging
times the older the battery gets.
Adhering to the following measures can reduce the
aging and wear and tear of the high-voltage battery:
e When charging, make sure that the ambient
temperature for the vehicle is between approx.
-4 °F (-20 °C) and +86 °F (+30 °C) where
possible.
e Whenever possible, do not expose the vehicle to
prolonged temperatures in excess of
