CAUTION
To avoid staining or discoloring the wheels, follow the
recommendations below:
• Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or alkali contents
to clean the wheels.
• Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels when they are
hot. The wheel temperature should be the same as ambient
temperature.
• Rinse the wheel to completely remove the cleaner within 15
minutes aer the cleaner is applied.
Washing and Cleaning
Washing the Motor Compartment
Under normal operation, the motor
compartment does not require any
cleaning. However, if cleaning is
required, the vehicle must be turned
off and the charger cable must be
disconnected. Allow sufficient time
for the motor and gear box to cool
down before spraying with water.
Do not spray directly on electronic
connections and controls.
Washing the Wheels, Rims and Wheel Covers
Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge
dampened in a mild soap solution, especially
during winter months in areas where road salt is
used. If not removed, road salt can discolor the
wheels.
Washing the Underbody
Do not spray directly on the battery case. The
underside should be flushed during the regular
wash, especially under the fenders.
Wipe the instrument panel
with a damp cloth. Dry off
with a clean, dry cloth.
The safety belts
should be checked
regularly for worn or
damaged areas.
Use glass cleaner to wash the
windows. Windshield washer fluid
can also be used.
Interior Wash
Vacuum the seats
and carpeting.
Remove spots
with appropriate
cleaner.
