Exterior Cleaning
Washing your vehicle frequently will help protect the
appearance of your vehicle. Keep the vehicle in a cool place
away from direct sunlight when washing. If the vehicle is left
in the sun for an extended period of time, it is recommended
that you wait until the exterior of the body has cooled before
washing it.
When using an automatic car washer, be sure to follow the
instructions of the car wash operator.
When in high pressure car wash, rinse the glass directly, do not
rinse the window edges from the outside.
After washing the vehicle in cold winter, dry the water in
the grooves around the door handle to avoid freezing and
stopping the door handles from being opened electrically.
To prevent damage to the paintwork, remove corrosive
substances (bird droppings, resins, insects, asphalt spots,
paving salt, industrial dust, etc.) immediately and do not wait
until the next washing time.
When cleaning the exterior of the body, follow the steps below
1. Preparations before cleaning
─
Close the doors, back trunk and check that the charging
port is fully closed.
2. Rinse thoroughly
─
Before washing, rinse off the dirt and grit from the body
with a hose. Please rinse areas prone to dust, silt, or
paving salt (e.g. wheel arches and panel joints).
3. Hand washing
─
Add quality neutral vehicle cleaners to cold or lukewarm
water, dampen a soft cloth and hand wash the exterior of
the body.
4. Rinse with water
─
After washing, rinse with water to prevent any residual
soap from drying out on the surface.
5. Dry with a soft cloth
