• Clean the windshield with water and a clean cloth. Remove small scratches
with a plastic polish.
• Clean the bottom of the vehicle where mud or dirt can collect. Loosen any
packed sediment to help with removal. Be careful not to damage the paint.
• Dry the vehicle with a chamois before the water dries to prevent water
spots.
Polishing the Vehicle
• Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish. Use wax that is
for clear coat automotive finishes only. Do not apply wax or polish to matte
finish surfaces.
• Use clean or new cloths and pads for polishing. Old or reused cloths and
pads can contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.
TIRES
Follow the tire maintenance procedures as instructed in this manual and on
the labels on the vehicle.
Always use the approved size and type of replacement tires. See Specifica-
tions on page 59 for the proper tire type and size.
Worn, improperly inflated, improperly sized, or incor-
rectly installed tires will affect vehicle handling and
could cause an accident resulting in severe injury or
death.
Inflate all tires to the same pressure. Operating with
unequal or incorrect pressure can adversely affect
steering and handling and could cause an accident
resulting in severe injury or death.
To decrease the risk of tire explosion, do not exceed
the tire inflation rating on the tire sidewall. Make sure
the tires are properly inflated at all times of operation.
See Tire Pressure on page 48.
To decrease the risk of tire explosion, inflate small
amounts of air into the tire at intervals to allow the
bead to seat properly. Because of the low volume of
the small tires, over inflation can occur in seconds.
Never exceed the tire inflation pressure rating on the
tire sidewall when seating a bead. Protect face and
eyes when removing a valve core.
When removing wheels, use only sockets made for
impact wrenches to decrease the risk of injury by a
broken socket.
