Simple inspection and service
1 Exterior cleaning
1.1 Cleaning glass surfaces
•
Keep the vehicle’s windows and windshield
clean at all times. Use glass cleaner and wipe it
off with a sponge or soft cloth.
•
When cleaning the windshield or other items on
the front of the vehicle, hold the hand grips
securely and stand on the front bumper steps .
CAUTION
Never apply rubbing compound to glass since it
leaves scratches.
1.2 Washing the vehicle
Washing is necessary not only to keep your vehicle
looking its best, but also to help minimize corrosion.
You must wash the vehicle whenever it has experi-
enced any of the following:
•
Been driven on coastal roads
•
Been driven on roads where road chemicals
have been applied
•
Become contaminated by coal tar, smoke, soot,
powder dust, iron powder, lime powder, sap, bird
droppings, etc.
•
Adhesion of dust and/or mud
Using a hose, wash the mud and dirt off the body
surfaces. Wash not only the surfaces around the
cab, but also the wheel housings and the underside
of the chassis.
Especially, after you have driven in a coastal area or
on salted road in the winter, your vehicle should be
given a thorough washing.
WARNING
The front bumper steps may be slippery
when wet. Take great care when washing the
vehicle and in rainy or snowy conditions.
WARNING
When washing the underside of the vehicle,
be careful not to hurt yourself on the edges
of panels and other parts.
