The window glass can normally be cleaned
using only a sponge and water.
Glass cleaner can be used to remove oil,
grease, insect carcasses, etc. After washing
the glass, wipe it dry with a clean, dry, soft
cloth. Never use a cloth that is used for clean-
ing a painted surface to clean a window. Wax
from the painted surface could get on the
glass and lower glass transparency and visi-
bility.

Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove
grease, dead insects, etc., from the wiper
blades. Replace the wiper blades when they
no longer wipe properly. (Refer to page

Clean the engine compartment at the begin-
ning and end of winter. Pay particular atten-
tion to flanges, crevices and peripheral parts
where dust containing road chemicals and
other corrosive materials might collect.
If salt and other chemicals are used on the
roads in your area, clean the engine compart-
ment at least every three months.
Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment, as
this may cause damage.
Window glass
To clean the inside of the rear window,
always use a soft cloth and wipe the window
glass along the demister heater element so as
not to cause damage.
