1.3
Waxing
Wax the vehicle once or twice a month or whenever
the wax on the vehicle ceases to repel water.
Apply wax out of direct sunlight and only when the
vehicle’s paintwork is cooler than human body tem-
perature.
1.4
Dirt caked on paintwork
The following contaminants can cause corrosion,
discoloration, or staining of the vehicle if not
washed off: calcium chloride and other salts; road
chemicals, oil; tar; tree sap; bird droppings; and
industrial soot.
If you cannot easily clean off these contaminants,
use a synthetic cleaner that does not scratch or oth-
erwise damage painted surfaces.
1.5
Small chips and scratches
Chips, cracks, and scratches caused by grit thrown
up off the road should be fixed as soon as possible.
If the body metal is visible, corrosion will quickly set
in and require expensive treatment. Your dealer can
supply touch-up paint for small chips and scratches.
2 Interior cleaning
•
Dirt can leave marks or stains and should be
cleaned off as soon as possible.
•
Clean the interior of the vehicle with a sponge or
soft cloth. Remove stubborn dirt with a soft
brush.
•
Use the appropriate cleaning technique for each
interior item to avoid discoloration and stains.
•
Do not water-wash the floor with the floor mat
left in place as this could cause the floor to rust
and could also damage the relays and other
electrical components.
•
If water collects in the cab, either remove the
drain plug from the floor and allow the water to
drain out or wipe up all the water using a cloth.
2.1
Cleaning interior trim
Keep the vehicle’s interior trim clean at all times.
1. Clean out all dust on the trim with a vacuum
cleaner or soft brush.
2. Wipe vinyl trim areas carefully with cloth damp-
ened with water.
3. Wipe dirt and marks off the trim with a commer-
cially available cleaner.
2.2
General dirt
A multi-purpose powder-type cleaner is recom-
mended for cleaning general dirt. Soapsuds are
also usable.
1. Clean out all loose dust with a vacuum cleaner
or soft brush.
2. Dilute the cleaner in water to the specified con-
centration. The best results can usually be
obtained with a thinner solution.
When soapsuds are used, apply them with a
sponge or soft cloth.
3. Wipe up any remaining cleaner with a towel or
other absorbent cloth.
