keep the vehicle clean.
► Always check for minor damage to the

► Check the underbody for accumulation
of sand, dirt or salt. If present, wash
with water as soon as possible.
CAUTION
► NEVER remove dirt, sand or other debris

washing it out with a hose. Remove dirt
with a vacuum cleaner.
► Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electronic components
inside the vehicle as this may
damage them.
