Cleaning the Vehicle with High-
pressure Washer
• Before washing the vehicle, make sure
the vehicle charge port lid is properly
closed.
• Follow the given instructions on how to
use the high-pressure washer, and
paying attention to the spraying pressure
and distance; the nozzle must be at least
30 cm away from the vehicle body
surface. Do not aim the high-pressure
water constantly at one position; keep
moving the nozzle while spraying the
water. Avoid spraying high-pressure
water to the vehicle parts which may
cause severe damage. Do not spray the
nozzle directly to the charging port.
• Do not use "cluster nozzles" to clean the
vehicle.
• Do not aim the nozzle directly or
indirectly inside the front compartment.
High-pressure water can cause damage
to the electrical components in the front
compartment or cause some parts
cannot work normally.
• Do not aim the nozzle to the connector of
the chassis (especially the orange high-
voltage harness connector).
• Do not clean the front camera and
sensor with a high-pressure washer or a
steam washer, to avoid damage.
• Do not spray high-pressure water to the
painted bumper and soft parts such as
rubber hoses, plastic parts, and
insulating materials at close range.
Clean the Vehicle with Automatic
Car Washer Facility
• Before proceed with automatic car
washing facility, consult with the
automatic car washer operator for any
possibility of damage, especially if
additional parts are mounted on the
exterior of the vehicle.
• Before start washing the vehicle with
automatic car washing facility, close the
windows, sunroof (if equipped),
automatic wipers and fold the exterior
rearview mirrors (side mirrors).
• The paint of vehicle body can withstand
the washing of the automatic washer, but
the impact on the paint must be noted.
The influence mainly depends on the
structure of the automatic washer, the
cleaning brush, the filtering condition of
the cleaning water, and the type of
cleaning agent and wax solvent. If the
paint surface of the vehicle body is
darkened or scratched after washing, the
operator should be notified immediately
to make corrections.
• When selecting an automatic car washer
facility to clean the vehicle, choose a
non-contact car automatic washer type.
This type of the car automatic washer
does not have any part (brushes, etc.)
that may contact the vehicle surface.
