External cleaning
Frequent washing helps preserve your
car’s appearance. When washing the
vehicle, turn off the power supply of the
vehicle (turn it to OFF position) and wash in
a cool place. Do not wash under direct
sunlight. If your vehicle is exposed to the
sun for a long time, wait until the exterior
cools down before washing. Follow the
instructions of the operator when using an
automatic car washer.
Before washing the vehicle, check and
confirm that the doors, windows and
charging port cover plate on the vehicle
are closed.
To prevent damage to the vehicle
paint, corrosive substances (guano,
resin, insects, asphalt spots, paving
salt, industrial dust, etc.) shall be
removed immediately. If necessary,
remove asphalt spots and stubborn
oil stains with industrial alcohol, and
then immediately wash them with
water and mild neutral soap solution
to remove alcohol.
Clean the vehicle with a high-
pressure washer
• Before washing the vehicle, check and
confirm that the charging port cap has
been closed correctly.
• Be sure to clean the vehicle in strict
accordance with the operation
instructions of the high-pressure
washer, and pay special attention to its
working pressure and spray-washing
distance. If a pressure washer is used,
the nozzle must be kept at least 30 cm
away from the surface of the vehicle
body. Keep the nozzle moving and not
spraying water continuously towards a
certain area. High-pressure water
flowing into vehicle components may
cause damage. Do not spray water from
the nozzle towards the charging port.
• Do not clean the vehicle with a "cluster
nozzle".
• Do not flush the engine compartment
directly or indirectly with the nozzle.
High-pressure water flow may damage
the electrical components in the engine
compartment or cause some
components to fail to work normally.
• Do not flush the water gun nozzle by
aligning it with the HV components and
connectors at the bottom of the vehicle
disc (especially connecting orange HV
harness connectors).
• Do not use a high-pressure washer or
steam cleaner to clean the camera and
sensor, so as to avoid damage.
• Do not spray painted bumpers, rubber
hoses, plastic parts, insulating materials
and other soft components at close
range.
• Do not directly flush the door seam,
roof seam, joints and other parts.
Clean the vehicle with an
automatic vehicle washer
• Before automatic vehicle washing,
please check with the automatic cleaner
operator whether the vehicle has any
additional components and follow the
advice of the operator.
