MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

When the FUV is first driven after being washed,

press the brake pedal several times to remove

moisture from the brake pads.

Vinyl Care

The FUV exterior features vinyl film and graphics. Take

special care to avoid damaging exterior vinyl:

Do not use any polishing or wax products on matte

or textured films.

Do not allow cleaning solutions to soak and

immediately rinse with clear water.

Windshield and Roof

The FUV Windshield and Roof are made of high quality

clear polycarbonate, not glass. Clean with warm water

and a soft, clean cloth. If necessary, use a small amount of

liquid dish washing soap.

Never use glass cleaners on the Windshield or Roof.
Glass cleaners can permanently damage the
polycarbonate.

The following common liquids can damage the windshield

and roof:

Ammonia

Vinegar

Bleach

Citrus-based cleaners

Remove minor scratches with a polishing

compound specifically designed for use on

polycarbonate surfaces.

Do not use rain repellent products that are

designed for use on glass (i.e. Rain-X

A recommended rain repellent for polycarbonate

windshields is RainZip

by National Cycle.
