● The surface treatment on the inside of the glass may be
removed if a hard cloth or organic solvent is used.
Engine compartment
N00947000071
Never spray or splash water on the electrical accessories in the
engine compartment. This puts the engine at risk of being dam-
aged.
Do not bring the circumferential parts, the plastic parts and so
on into contact with sulfuric acid (battery electrolyte) which
may crack, stain or discolor them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth, chamois or the
like and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent then immedi-
ately rinse the affected parts with plenty of water.
CAUTION
!
● Do not use a brush or other hard implement on 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 or road salt used for de-icing
can cause corrosion. Rinse off such substances as
soon as possible.
