3.
Thoroughly rinse your vehicle with plenty of
clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.
4.
After the vehicle dries, lubricate any moving
parts.
u
Make sure that no lubricant spills onto
the brakes or tyres. Brake discs, pads,
drum or shoes contaminated with oil will
suffer greatly reduced braking
effectiveness and can lead to a crash.
5.
Lubricate the drive chain immediately after
washing and drying the vehicle.
6.
Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.
u
Avoid products that contain harsh
detergents or chemical solvents. These
can damage the metal, paint, and plastic
on your vehicle.
Keep the wax clear of the tyres and
brakes.
u
If your vehicle has any mat painted parts,
do not apply a coat of wax to the mat
painted surface.

Washing Precautions
Follow these guidelines when washing:
●
Do not use high-pressure washers:
u
High-pressure water cleaners can
damage moving parts and electrical
parts, rendering them inoperable.
u
Water in the air intake can be drawn into
the throttle body and/or enter the air
cleaner.
●
Do not direct water at the muffler:
u
Water in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
●
Dry the brakes:
u
Water adversely affects braking
effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to
help dry them.
●
Do not direct water under the seat:
u
Water in the under seat compartment
can damage your documents and other
belongings.
