u High-pressure water cleaners can damage
moving parts and electrical parts,
rendering them inoperable.
● Do not direct water at the muffler:
u Water in the muffler can prevent starting
and causes rust in the muffler.
● Dry the brakes:
u Water adversely affects braking
effectiveness. After washing, apply the
brakes intermittently at low speed to help
dry them.
● Do not direct water under the rear seat:
u Water in the under seat compartment can
damage your documents and other
belongings.
● Do not direct water at the air cleaner:
u Water in the air cleaner can prevent the
engine from starting.
● Do not direct water near the headlight:
u Any condensation inside the headlight
should dissipate after a few minutes of
running the engine.
● Do not use waxes containing compounds on
matte painted surface:
u Using plenty of water, clean the matte
painted surface with a soft cloth or
sponge.
