• Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water

damage when cleaning the engine.

• Never wash or rinse the engine while it is

running; water in the running engine may cause
internal damage.

Cleaning plastic exterior parts

Use vinyl cleaner for routine cleaning. Clean with a
tar remover if necessary. Do not clean plastic parts
with thinners, solvents or petroleum-based cleaners.

Cleaning the exterior lamps

Wash with the same detergent as the exterior of
your vehicle. Use glass cleaner or tar remover if
necessary.

To avoid scratching the lamps, do not use a dry
paper towel, chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Cleaning the wiper blades and windshield

If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean the
wiper blade rubber element with undiluted
windshield washer solution or a mild detergent. To
avoid damaging the blades, do not use fuel,
kerosene, paint thinner or other solvents.
