CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Note: If you use a car wash with a waxing
cycle, make sure that you remove the wax
from the windshield and the wiper blades.
Note: Prior to using a car wash facility
check the suitability of it for your vehicle.
Note: Some car washes use water at high
pressure. Due to this, water droplets may
enter inside your vehicle and could also
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Note: Remove the aerial before using an
automatic car wash.
Note: Switch the heater blower off to
prevent contamination of the fresh air filter.
We recommend that you wash your vehicle
with a sponge and lukewarm water
containing a car shampoo.

Cleaning the Headlamps

Note: Do not scrape the headlamp lenses
or use abrasives, alcoholic solvents or
chemical solvents to clean them.
Note: Do not wipe the headlamps when
they are dry.

Cleaning the Rear Window

Note: Do not scrape the inside of the rear
window or use abrasives or chemical
solvents to clean it.
Use a clean, lint free cloth or a damp
chamois leather to clean the inside of the
rear window.

Cleaning the Chrome Trim

Note: Do not use abrasives or chemical
solvents. Use soapy water.
Note: Do not apply cleaning product to hot
surfaces and do not leave cleaning product
on chrome surfaces for a period of time
exceeding that which is recommended.

Vehicle Care

Note: Industrial-strength (heavy-duty)
cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, may cause
damage over a period of time.

Body Paintwork Preservation

Do not polish your vehicle in strong
sunshine.
Do not allow polish to touch plastic
surfaces. It could be difficult to
remove.
Do not apply polish to the windshield
or rear window. This could cause the
wipers to become noisy and they
may not clear the window properly.
We recommend that you wax the
paintwork once or twice a year.

CLEANING THE ENGINE

Due to the different materials found
in the engine compartment, avoid
using chemical cleaning products,
aggressive detergents, degreasers, and
acid and alkaline products that, due to their
corrosive action, may be aggressive to
certain components. Water steam cleaning
should also be avoided.
Note: During the engine compartment
wash, do not remove the transparent label
that protects the VIN code. Engine oil, brake
fluid, radiator additive, batteries and tires
should be packed and stored in facilities
especially prepared for handling industrial
waste. Do not dispose of these items in
public sewer systems or with domestic
garbage. Environment preservation is a
responsibility shared by all. You too should
do your share.
