WASHING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
Some high pressure cleaning systems are
sufficiently powerful to penetrate door and
window seals and damage rubbing strips
and locking mechanisms. Never aim the
water jet directly at heater air intakes, body
and sunroof seals, or at any components
that might easily be damaged.
Wash your vehicle frequently using a sponge
and generous quantities of cold or lukewarm
water containing a car shampoo. Rinse and
dry off with a chamois leather.
· Do not use hot water!
· Do not use detergent soap products or
dish washing liquid!
· In hot weather, do not wash the vehicle in
direct sunlight.Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for snow and ice
removal and dust control can collect on
underbody parts. If these materials are not
removed, accelerated rusting can occur. Use a
hose to regularly flush the underbody with
plain water, taking particular care to
thoroughly clean those areas where mud and
other debris can easily collect.
Similarly, after off-road driving or wading in
muddy or salt water conditions, use a hose to
wash underbody components and other
exposed parts of the vehicle.
When using a hose, do not direct the jet into
the heater air intake ducts, or through the
wheel trim apertures onto the brake
components, or at the door, window or
sunroof seals, where water pressure could
penetrate the seals. 
						

							Cleaning & vehicle care
166 Steam cleaning
Before steam cleaning the engine
compartment, cover the power steering and
brake fluid reservoirs to prevent
contamination of fluid. After steam cleaning
carefully re-wax the metallic components,
especially the steering column, engine coolant
pipes, hose clips and the ignition coil clamp,
to prevent corrosion.
Removing tar spots
Use mineral spirits to remove tar spots and
stubborn grease stains from paintwork. Then
wash immediately with soapy water to remove
all traces of spirit.
Body protection
After washing, inspect the paintwork for
damage. Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the bodywork should be repaired
promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and
can develop into major repair expense. Some
exterior panels of your vehicle are made of
aluminum which will not corrode in the same
manner as steel. However, any damage should
still receive prompt attention. Minor chips and
scratches can be repaired with touch-up
materials available from your dealer. Larger
areas of damage need to be corrected to
professional standards immediately.
Polishing
Occasionally treat the paint surface with an
approved polish containing the following
properties:
· Very mild abrasives to remove surface
contamination without removing or
damaging the paint.
· Filling compounds that will fill scratches
and reduce their visibility.
· Wax to provide a protective coating
between the paint and the elements.
NOTE:DO NOT apply car polish to the
bumper mouldings - polish will become
ingrained in the textured finished.
Cast alloy road wheels
The cast alloy road wheels are covered with a
protective coating. To prevent corrosion it is
essential that this coating is not damaged. To
clean the wheels use a warm soapy liquid,
stubborn stains can be removed using a soft
brush.
Sunroof
It is important that the sunroof aperture
surround, channels, drain tubes and slides
(accessible with the panel fully open), are kept
clear, clean and lubricated for efficient
operation.This requirement is particularly
important in dusty environments.
If in doubt consult your dealer.
Glass and mirrors
Clean the rear window with a soft cloth to
avoid damaging the heating elements. DO
NOT scrape the glass or use an abrasive
cleaning fluid.
Mirror glass is particularly susceptible to
damage. Wash with soapy water. DO NOT use
abrasive cleaning compounds or metal
scrapers. 
						

							Cleaning & vehicle care
167 CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Plastic materials
Clean plastic-faced or cloth covered surfaces
with diluted upholstery cleaner and wipe with
a clean cloth.
Leather
Leather seats, steering wheel and trim
features should be cleaned with a damp cloth
moistened with undiluted upholstery cleaner.
Leave for five minutes, and then repeat the
operation using a clean cloth and water - but
avoid flooding the area! Dry and polish the
leather with a dry, lint-free cloth.
DO NOT use petrol, detergents, furniture
creams or polishes!
Carpet and fabrics
Clean with diluted nylon upholstery cleaner -
test with a concealed area first.
Instrument pack, clock and radio
Clean with a dry cloth only! DO NOT use
cleaning fluids or sprays.
Seat belts
Extend the belts, then use warm water and a
non-detergent soap to clean. Allow the belts
to dry naturally, and do not retract them or
use the vehicle until they are completely dry.
WARNING
DO NOT polish fascia components - for
safety, these should remain non-reflective.
Airbag module covers
To prevent airbag SRS damage, the steering
wheel centre pad and area of the fascia panel
containing the passenger airbag should ONLY
be cleaned sparingly with a damp cloth and
upholstery cleaner.
DO NOT allow these areas to be flooded with
liquid, and DO NOT use petrol, detergent,
furniture cream or polishes.
Heated rear screens
The following precautions must be taken, to
avoid irreparable damage being caused to the
printed circuit which is baked on to the
interior of the screen.
· Do not remove labels or stickers from the
screen, with the aid of sharp instruments
or similar equipment likely to scratch the
glass.
· Care should be taken, to avoid
inadvertently scratching the glass with a
ringed finger etc, when cleaning or wiping
the screen.
· Do not clean the screen with harsh
abrasives.
