							Cleaning & vehicle care
171 WASHING YOUR VEHICLE
Wash your vehicle frequently using a clean,
grit free 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
washing-up liquid!
During winter months when salt has been
used on the roads, use a hose to wash the
underside of the vehicle. Pay particular
attention to wheelarches and panel seams,
and to removing accumulations of mud.
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.
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.
Getting rid of tar spots
Use white spirit to remove tar spots and
stubborn grease stains from the paintwork.
Then wash immediately with soapy water to
remove all traces of spirit.
Body protection
After washing, inspect the paintwork for
damage. Treat paint chips and scratches with
touch-up paint to prevent corrosion, and
occasionally protect the paint surface with an
application of car polish.
NOTE:DO NOT apply car polish to the
moulded bumpers - polish will become
ingrained in the textured finish of the
mouldings.
Glass & mirrors
Clean the rear screen with a soft cloth to avoid
damaging the heater elements. DO NOT
scrape the glass or use an abrasive cleaning
fluid.
Mirror glass is particularly susceptible to
damage; DO NOT use abrasive cleaning
compounds or metal scrapers. 
						

							Cleaning & vehicle care
172 LOOKING AFTER THE INTERIOR
Clean plastic-faced or cloth covered surfaces
with diluted upholstery cleaner.
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, clean, lint-free cloth.
DO NOT use petrol, detergents, furniture
creams or polishes.
Instrument pack, clock & radio
Clean with a dry cloth. DO NOT use cleaning
fluids or sprays.
Seat belts
Extend belts, then use warm water and a
non-detergent soap to clean. Allow to dry
naturally, and do not retract until completely
dry.Airbag SRS
To prevent airbag SRS damage, the airbag
module covers, (steering wheel centre pad,
front seat backs and area of the fascia panel
containing the front 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.
