Cleaning & vehicle care
WASHINGYOUR VEHICLE
Steam cleaning
Wash your car frequentlyusing a sponge and
generous quantities of cold or lukewarm water
containing a car shampoo. Rinse and dry off
with a chamois leather.
Before steam cleaning the engine
compartment, cover the power steering and
brake fluid reservoirs to prevent
contamination of fluid. After steam cleaning
carefullyre-waxthe metallic components,
especiallythe steering column, engine coolant
pipes, hose clips and the ignition coil clamp.

Do not use hot water!
Do not use detergent soap products or
dishwashing liquid!
Removing tar spots
When using a hose, do not direct the jet into
the heater air intake ducts, or through the
wheel trim apertures onto the brake
components, or at the door, window or
sunroof seals, where water pressure could
penetrate the seals.
Use mineralspirit or turpentine to remove tar
spots and stubborn grease stains from the
paintwork. Then wash immediatelywith soapy
water to remove all traces of spirit.
Body protection
After washing, inspect the paintworkfor
damage. Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the body work should be repaired
promptly. Bare metal will corrode quicklyand
can develop into major repair expense. Some
exterior panels of your vehicle are made of
aluminum which will not corrode in the same
manner as sheet steel. However, any damage
should stillreceive prompt attention. Minor
chips and scratches can be repaired with
touch-up materials available from your
retailer. Larger areas of damage need to be
corrected to professionalstandards
CAUTION
Some high pressure cleaning systems are
sufficiently powerful to penetrate door and
window seals and damage rubbing strips
and locking mechanisms. Never aim the
water jet directly at components that might
easily be damaged.
Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for snow and ice
removaland dust control can collect on
underbody parts. If these materials are not
removed, accelerated rusting can occur on
underbody parts such as the frame, floor pan
and the exhaust system. Regularlyflush these
materials from the underbody with plain
water. Take care to thoroughly clean any areas
where mud and other debris can collect.
immediately. Occasionallyprotect the paint
surface with an application of car polish.
NOTE: DONOTapply car polish to the
moulded bumpers - polish will become
ingrained in the textured finish of the
mouldings.
Cast alloy road wheels
The cast alloyroad wheels are covered with a
protective coating. To prevent corrosion, it is
essential that this coating is not damaged. To
clean the wheels, use a warm soapy liquid,
stubborn stains can be removed using a soft
brush.
Similarly, after off-road driving or wading in
muddy or salt water conditions, use a hose to
wash underbody components and other
exposed parts of the vehicle.
