Camera and Lens Maintenance
-
The camera cover is made of hard plastic, therefore do not apply oil film remover, organic solvents, wax, or coating agents. If any such agent is applied, wipe it using a soft cloth immediately.
-
Do not rub the camera cover or lens forcefully, or clean them with an abrasive or hard brush.
If there are water droplets, snow, or mud on the camera lens, wipe it off using a soft cloth. If the camera lens is especially dirty, wash it off with mild detergent.
Aluminum Wheel Maintenance
Plastic Part Maintenance
-
When cleaning the plastic lenses of the lights, do not use gasoline, kerosene, rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline detergents. Otherwise, these chemical agents can discolor or damage the surfaces resulting in a significant loss in functionality. If plastic parts become inadvertently exposed to any of these chemical agents, flush with water immediately.
-
If plastic parts such as the bumpers become inadvertently exposed to chemical agents or fluids such as coolant, or lead-acid battery fluid, it could cause discoloration, staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off any such chemical agents or fluids using a soft cloth immediately.
-
High water temperature and high water pressure car washers are available depending on the type of high pressure car washer device. If the car washer nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or aimed at one area for an extended period of time, it could deform plastic parts or damage the paint.
-
Do not use wax containing compounds (polish). Otherwise, it could result in paint damage.
-
In addition, do not use an electrical or air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the frictional heat generated could result in deformation of plastic parts or paint damage.
Panel and Cork Area Maintenance
If a panel or cork area becomes soiled, gently wipe it off with a soft cloth soaked in clean water and thoroughly wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning, use the following procedure:
-
Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent (approx. 5 %) diluted with water.
-
Wipe off the remaining detergent using a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well.
-
Be particularly careful when cleaning shiny surface panels and metallic parts such as plating as they can be scratched easily.
-
(Cork area)
Do not apply items with adhesive properties to the cork area. Otherwise, the cork could be damaged.
Cleaning the Floor Mats
Rubber floor mats should be cleaned with mild soap and water only.
Do not use rubber cleaners, such as tire cleaner or tire shine, when cleaning rubber floor mats:
Cleaning the rubber floor mats with rubber cleaning products makes the floor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when depressing the accelerator or brake pedal or when getting in or out of the vehicle.
After removing the floor mats for cleaning, always reinstall them securely (Search).
