External cleaning
Frequent washing helps preserve your
car's appearance. When washing the
vehicle, turn off the power supply of the
vehicle (turn it to OFF position) and wash in
a cool place. Do not wash under direct
sunlight. If your vehicle is exposed to the
sun for a long time, wait until the exterior
cools down before washing. Follow the
instructions of the operator when using an
automatic car washer.
Before washing the vehicle, check and
confirm that the doors, windows and
charging port cover plate on the vehicle
are closed.
To prevent damage to the vehicle
paint, corrosive substances (guano,
resin, insects, asphalt spots, paving
salt, industrial dust, etc.) shall be
removed immediately. If necessary,
remove asphalt spots and stubborn
oil stains with industrial alcohol, and
then immediately wash them with
water and mild neutral soap solution
to remove alcohol.
