Caring for Your Vehicle

Frequent cleaning and polishing is important to
ensure the life of your Honda. A clean vehicle
makes it easier to spot potential problems.
In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent
ice on roads promote the formation of
corrosion. Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after riding on coastal or treated roads.
Washing
Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other
high-temperature parts to cool before washing.
Rinse your vehicle thoroughly using a low
1.
pressure garden hose to remove loose dirt.
If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel
2.
with mild cleaner to remove road grime.
Clean the windscreen, headlight lens,
u
panels, and other plastic components
with extra care to avoid scratching them.
Avoid directing water into the air cleaner,
muffler, and electrical parts.
