SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
ADVICE
If an automatic car or truck-wash is used with vehicles having dark or metallic •
coating, the painted surfaces can be damaged by the brushes, lose their luster
or be very noticeably scratched.
Do not direct a large amount of water at the air inlet openings.
•
Do not apply water to the engine compartment or at electrical components. •
Failure to observe this precaution can lead to a poorly starting and operating
engine and problems in the electrical system.
Ensure that mirrors and the antenna are retracted before washing the vehicle.
•
If an automatic car or truck-wash must be used, avoid a high-temperature, high- •
pressure type machine. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to heat
deformation and breakage of plastic components, or to water leaks into the cab.
When using an automatic car or truck-wash, ensure that a distance of at least 0.4
•
m (15.75 inches) is maintained between the nozzle and the vehicle, and when
washing door windows, that the spray is perpendicular to the surface of the
glass.
Ensure that all detergent is fully washed and wiped away. Particularly in the
•
case of strong alkaline detergents (typically those for industrial uses), there is a
danger that hairline cracks can develop in lighting-cluster lenses if the vehicle is
operated without detergent being fully wiped away. Always read the detergent
manufacturer's instructions carefully before use.
Airborne dirt that adheres to plastic front bumpers as a result of rain, for
•
example, can be difficult to remove.
In such a case, use a commercially-available cleaner to clean away the dirt, and
then apply a wax for use with plastic components.
