Caring for Your Vehicle
Thoroughly rinse your vehicle with plenty of
3.
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
After the vehicle dries, lubricate any moving
4.
parts.
Make sure that no lubricant spills onto
u
the brakes or tyres. Brake discs, pads,
drum or shoes contaminated with oil will
suffer greatly reduced braking
effectiveness and can lead to a crash.
Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
5.
Avoid products that contain harsh
u
detergents or chemical solvents. These
can damage the metal, paint, and plastic
on your vehicle.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and brakes.
If your vehicle has any mat painted parts,
u
do not apply a coat of wax to the mat
painted surface.
