NOTE:
•
In cold weather, the key holes and rubber parts
of the door sometimes freeze, making it hard to
open the door. After washing, remove moisture
on and around the doors. Applying silicone with
antifreeze capabilities is one solution to this
problem.
•
When washing the vehicle in cold weather, be
careful not to directly spray water over the key
slot in the fuel tank cap. If the key slot is wet with
water, the fuel tank cap may become impossible
to open. It is also important to thoroughly wipe
off water around the fuel tank cap after washing
the vehicle.
1. Wash the body surface with water from a hose
to remove mud and other deposits. Wash not
only the surfaces around the cab, but also the
wheelhouses and the underside of the chassis.
2. If vehicle surfaces are heavily contaminated,
use a car-shampooing product and then rinse it
off thoroughly from the surfaces.
3. Wipe clean the body surfaces to remove water
that would cause spots on painted surfaces.
