your vehicle with the engine run-
ning.
• When cleaning the underside of the
body and fender, where there may
be sharp-edged parts, wear gloves
and a long-sleeved shirt to protect
your hands and arms from being
cut.
• After washing your vehicle, care-
fully test the brakes before driving
to check that they have maintained
their normal effectiveness.

partment, it may cause the engine
malfunction or the electrical com-
ponents to fail.
Do not apply water to the engine
