Environment and vehicle
Help the beauty of the urban en -
vironment by cleaning the vehicle
and considering its paint.
Vehicle paint
One of the most important pollution
of the vehicle paint is chromium.
Therefore, be careful about leak -
age to the soil and water when us -
ing paints especially in workshops.
Vehicle body protection
Attention
- Cleaning dust and dirt with
a dry cloth from the body can
cause scratch on the body
paint.
- Do not use wire brushes,
corrosive detergents, strong
detergents with active
chemicals for washing chrome
or aluminium coated parts,
otherwise it is possible the
protective coating and the paint
to be damaged.
Vehicle body damage
repairing
Deep scratches or cuts on the
body paint must be repaired
immediately, otherwise the parts
without paint will be corroded and
the growth of the corrosion depth
will increase the repair costs.
Attention
If your vehicle body is damaged
and needs to be repaired,
make sure the corresponding
body workshop to apply the
anti-corrosion coating on the
repaired or replaced parts.
Cleaning underbody
Although underbody is coated
by anti-corrosion material,
the corrosive materials on the
roads to melt snow and ice or to
control the dust, can cause rapid
corrosion of underbody parts.
To prevent corrosion, wash
underbody every month and
specially at the end of winter with
cold or lukewarm water.
Wash it more carefully because
different parts of underbody are
not easily visible to detect the
defected parts.
There are drain holes on the floor
and lower edge of the doors.
They must be kept open to drain
easily the water, otherwise the
water can cause corrosion.
Notice that if you do not dry and
clean the underbody, worse
condition can occur.
Caution
After washing the vehicle you
have to drive slowly and apply
the brake to dry the brake
linings.
