OTE
● The surface treatment on the inside of the glass may be
removed if a hard cloth or organic solvent is used.
Engine compartment
N00947000084
Never spray or splash water on the electrical components in the
engine compartment, as this may cause damage.
Do not allow any nearby parts (such as plastic parts) come into
contact with sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte), which may
crack, stain, or discolour them.
If this occurs, wipe the parts with a soft cloth saturated with a
mild detergent and water solution.
Then immediately rinse the affected parts with plenty of water.
CAUTION
!
● Do not use a brush or other hard implement on the
wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
● Do not use any cleaner that contains an abrasive
substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing so could
cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become
discolored or stained.
● Do not directly apply hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means.
● Contact with seawater and road deicer can cause
corrosion. Rinse off such substances as soon as pos-
sible.
