Simple inspection and service
CAUTION
•
Do not use an organic solvent such as thin-
ner or gasoline for cleaning, as these will
damage painted surfaces and cause discol-
oration and cracks in plastic components.
•
Thoroughly wash the vehicle, especially the
wheelhouses and underside of the chassis
after driving on coastal roads or roads where
road chemicals have been applied. Thor-
ough washing is also important if your vehi-
cle is frequently used to transport marine
products or lime because seawater will
affect the vehicle and lime will severely dam-
age the vehicle’s paintwork. Road chemicals,
if left deposited for a long time on vehicle
parts, will set hard and be difficult to remove
by ordinary washing. Wash out road chemi-
cals using a high-pressure cleaning machine
if necessary so that they do not remain on
the vehicle. Road chemicals in large
amounts as well as salt will easily cause
rusting.
•
When stepping onto the bumper to clean the
windshield, do not hold the wiper arms.
Doing so could cause a wiper malfunction.
•
Do not use a vehicle-cleaning brush to clean
the plastic lenses of the turn-signal lamps. A
brush could scratch the lenses. Wash the
lenses with water, then wipe them with a soft
cloth.
•
When the vehicle is washed, braking perfor-
mance can be reduced by water entering the
brake drums or the working areas of the
brake discs (depending whether the vehicle
has drum brakes or disc brakes). In this
event, drive slowly with light pressure on the
brake pedal to dry out the brakes. Pay atten-
tion to nearby vehicles while doing so.
