VEHICLE CARE
15-4
Glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis. The
use of glass cleaner or a liquid household glass cleaner will
remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films sometimes
caused by ingredients used in vinyl’s and interior plastics.
Never use abrasive cleaners on any vehicle glass, as they
may cause scratches. If abrasive cleaners are used on the
inside of the rear window, any electric demister element may
be damaged. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window,
since they may have to be scraped off later.
Cleaning the Outside of Windshield
If your windshield is not clear after using the windshield
washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running, wax or
another material may be on the blade or windshield, clean
the outside of the windshield with cleaning powder or an
equivalent non abrasive cleaner. Your windshield is clean if
beads do not form when rinsing with water.
Exterior Finish
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of
color, gloss retention and durability.
Washing your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it
clean by frequent washings.
Wash the vehicle in lukewarm or cold water.
Do not use hot water or wash your vehicle in the direct rays
of the sun. Do not use strong soap or chemical detergent. All
cleaning agents should be flushed promptly from the surface
and not allowed to dry on the finish.
Ssangyong vehicles are designed to operate under normal
environmental conditions and to withstand the natural
elements. However, unusual conditions, such as high pres-
sure car washes, may cause water to enter inside the vehicle.
Polishing and Waxing
Periodic polishing and waxing is recommended to remove
surface residue from your paint finish. Approved products are
supplied through your Ssangyong Distributor.
