9.1.1. LEARING EPS SHALL BE CAREFUL
For the prolonged life of your vehicle, wash it down immediately
after it has been splashed with seawater or exposed to the sea
breeze, or operated on rainy days, rough terrain, or in dusty
areas.
The EPS cover protects the EPS actuator from being exposed
to hot air flow from the radiator. When washing the vehicle,
release the snap and open the cover, and then remove mud
accumulated in the cover with water.
Where shall be careful:

Avoid spraying water in the electrical connectors.

Avoid spraying water with any great force near the
following places
Electric steering system – if water gets into the actuator or is
sprayed over the ECU, they may cause malfunction.
NOTE
Coin operated, high pressure spray washers are not
recommended.
The water may be forced into bearings and other components
causing eventual failure from rust and corrosion.
Some of the soaps which are highly alkaline leave a residue or
cause spotting.
