●
Check cabin interior.
●
Moisture and dust buildup under the
carpet can cause corrosion. Check
the undersides of carpets frequently
to make sure these areas are dry.
●
Special care should be taken when
transporting chemicals, detergents,
fertilizers, salt, and other substances,
and such substances should be
kept in appropriate containers for
transportation. If spillage or leakage
is found, clean immediately and keep
dry.
●
Use fenders.
●
Fenders can protect vehicles in saline
areas or on gravel roads. The bigger
and closer to the ground the fender,
the better.
●
Park in a well-ventilated and dry area.
Paint Maintenance Tips
●
Do not perform secondary painting if
there is no obvious scratch on the
󽗉nish, so as to prevent mismatch or
color incompatibility.
●
When the vehicle is not used for a
long period, it should be parked in
a garage or a well-ventilated place,
and special body cover should be used
in winter. Choose a shady place for
parking temporarily.
●
Prevent strong impacts, knocks, or
scratches on the paint. If the paint
is scratched, dented or if it peels, it
should be repaired in time, preferably
by professional auto beauty provider.
●
Do not touch the paint with a greasy
hand or cloth. Do not place greasy
tools or rub with organic solvents
on the vehicle body so as to avoid
chemical reactions.
●
The vehicle must be waxed once a
month or whenever water resistance
performance of the vehicle degrades
and be taken to an auto beauty
provider for maintenance once every
three months.
●
High quality polish and wax must
be used. If body 󽗉nish is severely
weathered, use a car cleaning polish
in addition to the wax. Carefully follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
precautions. Chrome 󽗉nish should be
polished and waxed as well as painted
󽗉nish.
CAUTION
●
When the vehicle is repainted
and placed in a high-temperature
paint waxing workshop, the
vehicle's plastic bumper must be
removed to avoid damage caused
by high temperatures.
Vehicle Cleaning
●
The vehicle must be cleaned in time
under the following circumstances
which will cause peeling of paint layer
or corrosion of body and parts:
●
Driving along the coast.
●
Driving on a road on which anti-
freeze has been scattered.
●
Driving on roads covered with coal
tar.
●
Resin, bird droppings and insect
carcasses get stuck.
●
Driving in areas with a large amount
of smoke, soot, dust, iron 󽗉lings or
chemicals.
●
Vehicles visibly soiled by dust or
mud.
●
After raining.
