NOTICE
■
To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (aluminum wheels, etc.)
●
Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on the
paint surface
• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust,
iron powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint surface
● If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
●
To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity when storing the wheels.
■ Cleaning the exterior lights
●
Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a hard brush.
This may damage the surfaces of the lights.
●
Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■ Antenna installation and removal precautions
●
Before driving, ensure that the antenna is installed.
● When the antenna is removed, such as before entering an automatic car
wash, make sure to store it in a suitable place so as not to lose it. Also,
before driving, make sure to reinstall the antenna in its original position.
■ Cleaning the canvas top (if equipped)
● Remove bird droppings from the fabric immediately, as their corrosive
effect an make the damage in the outer canvas fabric.
●
Do not use organic substances (gasoline, kerosene, benzene or strong
solvents), which may be toxic or cause damage.
●
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the top mate-
rial.
● Do not use water-repellents, wax or other preservative finishes as they
may stain the top material.
●
Never use a high-pressure washer to clean the canvas top. Increased high
water pressure may force water past the sealing.
●
Do not use automatic car wash machine. It is possible to damage the outer
canvas fabric.
