196 6-2 Regular Maintenance
■ Check the interior of the compartment.
Moisture and dust always deposit beneath the carpet and cause
corrosion. Therefore, frequently check the positions beneath
carpets to make sure that these positions are dry.
Take special care and use proper containers to transport chemical
products, detergents, chemical fertilizers, salts, and other
substances. Clear any splashing or leaking substances at once and
keep dry of the containers.
■ Use fenders.
Using fenders can protect the vehicle if the vehicle runs in saline
and alkaline areas or on a road covered by gravels. It is better to
use fenders with larger sizes and install them on the vehicle closer
to the ground.
■ Park the vehicle in a well-ventilated and dry place.
Maintenance Tips for Painted Surface
■ Clean the vehicle in time.
■ To prevent causing color nonconformity or poor bonding, do not conduct
secondary paint spraying if the painted surface has no obvious
scratches.
■ For long-time parking, the vehicle should be parked in the garage or at a
well-ventilated place. In addition, the vehicle should be parked with a
special cover in winter. For temporary parking, the vehicle should be
parked at a shady and cool place.
■ Prevent causing strong impact, bumping or scratches on paint film of the
vehicle body. It is better to have the painted surface with scratches,
indentations or peels repaired by a professional automobile beauty
shop.
■ Do not touch the painted surface of vehicle body with greasy hand, or
wipe the painted surface with a piece of greasy wiping cloth at will. To
prevent causing any chemical reaction, do not place a greasy tool or
wiping cloth containing organic solvent on the vehicle body.
■ Wax the painted surface for protection once a month or when the vehicle
body surface does not have goo water-resistant performance and
regularly drive the vehicle to a professional automobile beauty shop for
maintenance (once a quarter) to recover the brightness and glossiness
of the painted surface of vehicle body.
■ Use high-quality polishing agent and vehicle wax. If the vehicle's
polished surface is found with serious wreathing effect, use a vehicle
cleaning and polishing agent separate from vehicle wax. Observe the
manufacturer's specifications carefully and take specified preventive
measures. The chrome plated surface should be polished and waxed
the same as the painted surface.
