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 tires. Brake discs, pads,
drum or shoes contaminated with oil will
suffer greatly reduced braking
effectiveness and can lead to a crash.

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 tires and
brakes.
u
If your vehicle has any matte painted
parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the
matte painted surface.

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.

effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to
help dry them.

side cover and under the seat:
u Water in the right side cover and under
seat compartment can damage your
documents and other belongings.
