Before washing the vehicle, park it in the

down su󽗋ciently.
1. Hose o󽗈 loose dirt, including all muds
or road salts at the bottom of the
vehicle and on wheel pits.
2. Wash the vehicle with neutral agents,
the mixing of which should be carried
out according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Soak a soft cloth with
cle
aning solution and gently wipe it
down along the direction of the water
󽗊ow. Do not wipe in a circular motion
or horizontally.
3. Rinse well—Dried washing agent forms
markings. After washing the vehicle in
hot weather, rinse all parts properly.
4. Dry the vehicle with a clean soft towel
to prevent stay water marks. In order
to prevent scratching, do not rub or
apply excessive force on the paint.
