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 bodywork 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 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 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

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
