FUV Owner's Guide - 114
l Recharge your FUV after each use, especially when
leaving the vehicle in a cold environment. Charging
a cold battery will take considerably longer than
charging a battery still warm from driving.
l For optimal battery life, the FUV should be plugged
in as soon as possible when fully discharged.
Leaving the battery in an uncharged state for an
extended period of time is harmful to the battery.
Cleaning
Your FUV should be washed periodically. Regular
cleaning doesn’t just keep your FUV looking tight, it also
ensures that safety-related parts remain in full working
order.
Improper cleaning can damage electrical components,
panels, and other plastic parts. Do not use high pressure
water or steam cleaners; they can cause water intrusion
of bearing, seals, and electrical components.
Do not use harsh chemical products on plastic parts.
Avoid using cloths or sponges which have been in contact
with strong abrasive cleaning products, solvent or thinner,
fuels, rust removers or inhibitors, brake fluid, antifreeze, or
electrolyte.
l Gently wash your FUV with a sponge or a clean soft
cloth, mild detergent, and plenty of water.
l Avoid high-pressure water guns. High-pressure
washers can damage certain parts.
l Use care when cleaning plastic parts - they scratch
more easily than metal parts.
l Avoid getting water under the front cover and on
the instrument panel.
l After washing, rinse your FUV thoroughly with
plenty of clean water to remove any detergent
residue.
l Dry your FUV with a chamois or a soft, dry towel.
