NOTE
l
Do not use a wire brush or any
abrasive cleaner, polishing
compound, or solvent on alum inium
wheels. They may damage the
coating.
l
Always use a sponge or soft cloth to
clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with
lukewarm or cold water. Also, be
sure to clean the wheels after driving
on dusty or salted roads to help
prevent corrosion.
l
Avoid washing your vehicle in an
automatic car wash that uses high-
speed or hard brushes.
l
(19-inch wheel vehicle)
If your aluminium wheels lose lustre,
apply wax which contains no
polishing powder.
qPlastic Part Maintenance
l
When cleaning the plastic lenses of the
lights, do not use petrol, paraffin,
rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolour or damage the
surfaces resulting in a significant loss
in functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, flush with water
immediately.
l
If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as
petrol, oil, engine coolant, or battery
fluid, it could cause discolouration,
staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off any
such chemical agents or flui ds using a
soft cloth immediately.
l
High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended
period of time, it could deform plastic
parts or damage the paint.
l
Do not use wax containing compo unds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
l
In addition, do not use an electrica l or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result in
deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.
