CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Regular and proper cleaning of your vehicle will
extend its service life.
Preparation:
•
Wait until the motor has cooled down.
•
Close all covers and electrical connections to
protect them from water.
Do not use petrol, rust remover, brake disc cleaner,
etc. to clean plastic parts and painted parts as this
may damage them. Clean the vehicle as soon as
possible after driving it in a salty environment.
NOTE
Please always follow the care and cleaning
instructions provided by the manufacturer
It is best to clean the vehicle only with water and
mild cleaning agents or with special cleaning
agents from specialist dealers. Acidic cleaners are
prohibited for cleaning the vehicle. If such acidic
cleaners are used accidentally, please clean the area
immediately to avoid damage to the vehicle. Dry the
vehicle afterwards with a dry towel or sponge. Do
not use high-pressure water guns or steam cleaners
to clean the vehicle. This can cause water to enter
the bearings or electrical components such as
connectors, switches or lights, and damage the brake
pads, seals, paint or other parts.
CLEANING AFTER NORMAL USE
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild detergent and a
soft, clean sponge, then rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Use a toothbrush or bottle brush for hard-to-
reach areas.
SALT PURIFICATION
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the roads in winter
is extremely corrosive when combined with water,
carry out the following steps after every journey.
•
Wait until the motor has cooled down.
•
Clean the vehicle with cold water and a mild
detergent.
•
Do not use hot water as this increases the
corrosive effect of the salt.
•
Apply an anti-corrosion spray to all metal
surfaces, including chrome-plated and finished
surfaces, to prevent corrosion.
AFTER CLEANING
•
Dry the vehicle.
•
To prevent rust, use suitable care products
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
•
Make sure there is no oil or wax on the brakes
or tyres.
•
If necessary, clean the brake discs and pads with
a commercial brake cleaner and wash the tyres
with warm water and a mild detergent.
•
Test the brake performance and tyres before
operating the vehicle.
STORAGE
For a short time (a few days)
Always store your vehicle in a cool and dry place. If
necessary, protect it from dust with a vehicle cover.
For longer periods (several weeks)
Remove the battery from the vehicle. Check or adjust
the tire pressure and lift the vehicle off the ground so
that all wheels are not in contact with the ground. If
this is not possible, rotate the tires every month to
avoid damage caused by partial stress on the tires
over time.
WARNING
Please store the vehicle in a well-ventilated room with
as dry air as possible. A place with high humidity will
lead to rust formation.
