MAINTENANCE
07
• The vehicle should be taken for a
paint check regularly (once a month or
whenever any problem is found), and
waxed once every three months.
• High quality polish and wax must
be used. If body finish is severely
weathered, use a car cleaning polish
separate from the wax. Carefully follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
precautions. Chrome finish should be
polished and waxed as well as painted
finish.
CAUTION
•The plastic bumper must be removed
if the vehicle is to be repainted
and parked in a high temperature
painting and waxing workshop, as
high temperatures will damage the
bumper.
Vehicle Cleaning
• The vehicle must be cleaned in time
under the following circumstances
which will cause peeling of paint layer or
corrosion of body and parts:
• Driving along the coast.
• Driving on a road on which anti-freeze
has been applied.
• Driving on roads covered with coal tar.
• Resin, bird droppings and insect
carcasses get stuck.
• Driving in areas with a large amount
of smoke, soot, dust, iron filings or
chemicals.
• Vehicles visibly soiled by dust or mud.
• After raining.
Manual Car Washing
Before washing the vehicle, park it in the
shade, and wait for the vehicle to cool
down sufficiently.
1. Flush loose dirt with a hose to remove all
mud or road salt from the bottom of the
vehicle and wheel pits.
2. Wash the vehicle with neutral agents,
the mixing of which should be carried
out according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Soak a soft cloth with
cleaning solution and gently wipe it
down along the direction of the water
flow. Do not wipe in a circular motion or
horizontally.
3. Rinse well - When the washing agent
dries, it forms markings. After washing
the vehicle in hot weather, rinse the
parts properly.
4. Dry the vehicle with a clean soft towel
to prevent stay water marks. In order to
prevent scratching, do not rub or apply
excessive force on the paint.
REMINDER
•Do not use alkaline washing powder,
soapy water, dishwashing liquid,
dewaxing detergent, or volatile
solvents.
•When cleaning the light assemblies,
do not wipe the surface of the
combination lights with chemical
solvents, such as gasoline, alcohol,
lacquer thinner, paint thinner or
carbon tetrachloride; otherwise,
cracks will appear on the assembly
guards.
•Vehicles driven in coastal areas or
in heavily polluted areas should be
rinsed every day.
