4.3 Exterior Maintenance
Car Washing
Frequent washing helps preserve your car’s
appearance.
Wash your car in a shady area, not in direct
sunlight. If your car is exposed to the sun for a long
time, wait until the exterior cools down before
washing.
Follow the instructions of the operator when using
an automatic car washer.
Warning
Switch the Start switch off before washing
the car.
Caution
•
Although the body paint is strong
enough to withstand the flushing from
the automatic car washer, pay attention
to its impact on the paint. The washer
structure, used cleaner, filtration state
of fresh water, and type of wax solvent
which do not meet the specified
requirements are likely to damage the
paint.
•
After washing, due to dampened or
even frozen brakes, the braking
efficiency will be reduced to some
extent. After washing, try to avoid
sudden brake to prevent traffic
accidents.
