cleaning materials should not be used in order ot avoid damaging the paint film.
Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned using a
sponge and water. Cast alloy wheels should becleaned using a mild soap or neutral detergent.Abrasive compounds must not be used since inthe event of these damaging the lacquer coat-ing, oxidisation of the aluminium wheel willoccur, spoiling the appearance.
The use of an a toothbrush will facilitate clean-
ing between the wheel "spokes". JE080A1-E
BUMPER MAINTENANCE
The special material from which the bumpersare manufactured warrants special attention topreserve the appearance of thebumpers.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE WARNING:
Motor vehicle batteries contain sulphuric
acid which is corrosive and poisonous. Hy- drogen gas is emitted from the battery whichis explosive when combined with oxygen.The following precautions must be strictlyobserved to avoid personal injury or dam-age to the vehicle.
o If battery electrolyte is spilled onto skin or into eyes, the effected area must be flushed with copious amounts of water and medicalassistance sought. o If battery electrolyte is ingested, copious
amounts of water or milk followed by anantacid (raw egg or milk of magnesia) mustbe drunk. Vomiting should not be inducedand medical assistance must be sought.
o Batteries must only be charged in well ven- tilated areas from which naked lights orsources of sparks are excluded.
o Ensure that children, pets or other unautho- rized persons are kept away from batteries.
o Do not allow anything to bridge the positive (+)and negative (-) terminals of the battery.
o Never invert the battery.
The battery fitted during production is of the“Maintenance Free” type. G220A01A-AAT
CHECKING ELECTRIC COOLING FANS WARNING:
The cooling fan is controlled by engine cool- ant temperature and may sometimes oper-ate even when the engine is not running.
Use extreme caution when working near theblades of the cooling fan, so that you are notinjured by a rotating fan blade. As the en-
gine coolant temperature decreases the fanwill automatically shut off. This is a normalcondition. G220B01A-AAT
Checking Engine Cooling Fan The engine cooling fan should come on auto- matically if the engine coolant temperature ishigh.
