6. Operation and maintenance
Cleaning of wiper blades
-
Lift the wiper arm and carefully wipe off
the dust and dirt from the wiper blade with
a soft cloth.
-
After cleaning, gently lower the wiper arm
to the windshield.
CAUTION
● Care should be taken when lowering
the wiper arm to prevent it from falling
instantly and hitting the windshield.
● The surface of the wiper blade is coated
with a layer of graphite to ensure
smooth wiping without scratching noise.
Solvent-based cleaning agents, hard
sponges and sharp objects can damage
the graphite layer. Damaged graphite
layer will increase the wiping noise
of the wiper, and the wiper shall be
replaced in time.
● In winter or cold conditions, it’s important
to check whether the wiper blade is
frozen with the windshield before using
the wiper. If so, perform de-icing first.
Otherwise, the wiper blade and wiper
motor will be damaged.
Maintenance of sealing strips
Frequent and proper protection of the rubber
sealing strips of the doors, windows and other
parts of the vehicle is intended to maintain their
flexibility and prolong their service life. Such
protection can also improve the tightness,
make the door easy to open, reduce the impact
sound of closing the door, and prevent freezing
in winter.
When performing maintenance on sealing
strips, remove dust and dirt from surfaces
using a soft cloth. Apply special protective
agent to rubber sealing strips regularly.
Cleaning and maintenance of wheels
Regularly remove anti-skid salts on the
wheels and debris on the brake linings, which
can keep the wheels aesthetic, maintain the
surface smooth and prolong the service life
of wheels. It is recommended to perform the
following operations regularly:
-
Remove anti-skid salts on the wheels and
debris on the brake linings using acid-free
wheel cleaner every two weeks.
-
Apply high-quality hard wax to the alloy
wheels every three months.
CAUTION
● It is prohibited to maintain the wheel
surface with vehicle polish or other
abrasives.
● The wheels with damaged protective
coating on surface must be repaired in
time.
● Using a high-pressure cleaner may
cause permanent visible or invisible
damage to the wheels, resulting in
serious injury or death.
● It is forbidden to use cluster head
nozzles to spray the tires. Otherwise
the tires will be damaged, causing traffic
accidents.
