Exterior Cleaning
Washing frequently helps protect the
appearance of the vehicle. Vehicle wash should
be carried out in a cool place without burning
sunlight. If the vehicle has to be parked in the
sun for a long time, it is recommended to clean
it after the exterior is cooled down.
If using an automatic vehicle washer, be sure
to follow the instructions of washer operator.
In case of using high-pressure vehicle washing,
please rinse directly against the glass. Do not
rinse toward the edge of the glass to prevent
water from rushing into the vehicle.
After washing the vehicle in the north in winter,
dry the water in the gap around the door
handle to avoid that the vehicle is freezing and
the door cannot be opened.
In order to prevent damage to the vehicle
paint, corrosive substances (guano, resin,
insects, asphalt spots, paving salt, industrial
dust, etc.) should be removed immediately,
instead of being cleaned by the way in vehicle
cleaning.
For cleaning the exterior of the vehicle, please
follow the steps below:
1. Preparation before Cleaning

the charging port is completely closed.

and wash the exterior of the vehicle by
hand.
