CAUTION
● It is forbidden to scrape the surface
back and forth.
● It is forbidden to use warm or hot water
to remove ice and snow from windshield

Cleaning and maintenance of wiper cover
plate
Try to avoid stopping under the tree frequently/
for a long time. If leaves or other debris are
found on the upper surface of the wiper cover
plate, please clean it in time.
Cleaning of wiper blade
-
Switch the vehicle power to the “ON”
position and then to the “OFF” position.
-
Set the wiper combination switch to the
MIST position within about 10 s, and the
wiper arm will run for half a cycle and then
stop.
-
Lift the wiper arm and carefully wipe off
the dust and dirt on the wiper blade with a
soft cloth.
-
After cleaning, gently lower the wiper arm
back to the windshield.
-
Switch the vehicle power to the “ON”
position, and the wiper will automatically
return.
CAUTION
● Be careful when lowering the wiper arm
to prevent it from falling and hitting the
windshield instantly.
● The wiper blade surface is coated with
a layer of graphite, which can make
the wiping smooth without scratching
noise. Solvent-based cleaning agents,
hard sponges and sharp objects can
damage the graphite layer. The damage
of the graphite layer will increase the
wiping noise of the wiper, so it should be
replaced in time.
● In winter or cold conditions, be sure
to check that the wiper blades are not
frozen to the windshield before using
the wiper. If so, perform de-icing first.
Otherwise, the wiper blades and wiper
motor will be damaged.
Maintenance of sealing strips
Frequent and proper protection of the rubber
sealing strips of the doors, windows and other
parts of the vehicle is intended to maintain their
flexibility and prolong their service life. Such
protection can also improve the tightness,
make the door easy to open, reduce the impact
sound of closing the door, and prevent freezing
in winter.
When performing maintenance on sealing
strips, remove dust and dirt from surfaces
using a soft cloth. Apply special protective
agent to rubber sealing strips regularly.
Cleaning and maintenance of wheels
Regular removal of anti-skid salt and
brake lining wear debris on the wheels can
maintain the appearance and surface finish
of the wheels, and prolong the service life.
It is recommended to perform the following
operations regularly:
-
Remove the anti-skid salt and brake lining
wear debris from the wheels with acid-free
cleaner every two weeks.
-
Apply high-quality hard wax to the alloy
wheels every three months.
