252 Vehicle Care
Warning
Follow the manufacturer's advice
whenever cleaning agents or other
chemicals are used, inside or outside the
vehicle. Some cleaners may be poisonous
or flammable, and improper use may
cause personal injury or damage. When
cleaning the inside or outside of the
vehicle, do not use volatile cleaning
solvents, such as acetone, lacquer
thinners, enamel reducers, nail polish
removers; or such cleaning materials as
laundry soaps, bleaches or reducing
agents, except as noted in the following
fabric cleaning advice on stain removal.
Never use carbon tetrachloride, gasoline,
benzene or naphtha for any cleaning
purpose. Open all vehicle doors for
ventilation when ANY cleaning agents or
other chemicals are used in the interior.
Overexposure to some vapors may result
in a health problem that is more likely to
occur in small, unventilated spaces.
You and others could be seriously injured.
Do not apply water directly in order to clean
the cab interior. Failure to follow this advice
can cause a malfunction of electronic control
units and electrical components and result in
rusting of the cab floor.
Do not apply water from a high-pressure
washer nozzle directly to the electric
connectors. Failure to follow can lead to
faulty operation of the electrical system.
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 follow this advice 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.
Do not spray water on the exhaust or after
treatment system while the engine is
running. Doing so may cause incorrect
exhaust gas sensor readings resulting in the
illumination of the check engine light.
If an automatic car or truck-wash must be
used, avoid a high-temperature,
high-pressure type machine. Failure to follow
this can lead to heat deformation and
breakage of plastic components, or water to
leak into the cab.
When using an automatic car or truck-wash,
ensure that a distance of at least 15.75 in
(0.4 m) is maintained between the nozzle
and the vehicle, and when washing door
windows that the spray is perpendicular to
the surface of the glass.
If an automatic car or truck-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.
Ensure that all detergent is fully washed
and wiped away. Particularly in the case of
strong alkaline detergents, typically those
for industrial uses, there is a danger that
hairline cracks can develop in lighting-cluster
lenses if the vehicle is operated without
detergent being fully wiped away. Always
read the detergent manufacturer's
instructions carefully before use.
Vehicle Storage
In order to maintain your vehicle's attractive
appearance as long as possible, special
consideration must be given to its storage
location.
