Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
●
Water in the air cleaner can prevent the
u
engine from starting.
Do not direct water near the headlight:
●
The headlight's inside lens may fog
u
temporarily after washing or while riding in
the rain. This does not impact the headlight
function.
However, if you see a large amount of
water or ice accumulated inside the
lens(es), have your vehicle inspected by
your dealer.
Do not use wax or polishing compounds on
●
mat painted surfaces:
Use a soft cloth or sponge, plenty of water,
u
and a mild detergent to clean mat painted
surfaces. Dry with a soft clean cloth.
