3 Waxing
We recommend waxing your vehicle about once
every month. The best timing for waxing is just after
washing the vehicle when the paint surface temper-
ature is lower than your body temperature. Avoid
waxing under direct sunlight.
NOTE:
•
Waxing hot paintwork may cause stains.
•
Do not use a wax containing abrasive com-
pound; it will damage painted surfaces and
destroy their original luster. Use of MITSUBISHI
FUSO genuine wax is recommended.
4 Rust and corrosion
•
Rust and corrosion developing on the underside
and/or undercarriage of the vehicle could cause
an unexpected failure and even lead to an acci-
dent. Check these areas occasionally (such as
after washing) for rust/corrosion and resulting
holes. If rust is found, remove it using a wire
brush and coat the affected area with a touchup
paint or rust-preventive material. If you find a
hole, have your vehicle repaired by your autho-
rized MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or dealer as
soon as possible.
•
To help keep your vehicle running reliably for a
long time, you should conduct a detailed check
for rust/corrosion at least once a year, and if
necessary, apply touchup paint or rust-preven-
tive material.
