apply a nonabrasive automotive wax. If the
chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a
commercially available chrome polish.

The window glass can usually be cleaned
using only a sponge and water. Glass cleaner
can be used to remove wax, oil, grease, dead
insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it
dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.

erly.

Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components under the hood, as this may
cause damage.
Do not allow any nearby parts (such as plastic
parts) come into contact with sulphuric acid
(12V starter battery electrolyte), which may
crack, stain, or discolour them.
If this occurs, wipe the parts with a soft cloth
saturated with a mild detergent and water
solution.
Then immediately rinse the affected parts
with plenty of water.
Do not use wax containing compounds (pol-
ishing powder) which may damage the plas-
tic surface.
Do not let the plastic parts get soiled with
gasoline, oil, brake fluids, greases, paint
thinner, and sulfuric acid (battery electro-
lyte). These fluids, etc., may crack, stain or
discolor the plastic parts.
If any of these get on the plastic parts, wipe
them up with a soft cloth or chamois and a
mild solution of soap and water. Then rinse
them immediately with water.

CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not use a brush or other hard implement
on the wheels.
Doing so could scratch the wheels.
Do not use any cleaner that contains an abra-
sive substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels to
peel or become discolored or stained.
Do not directly apply hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means.
Contact with seawater or road salt used for
de-icing can cause corrosion. Rinse off such
substances as soon as possible.
