Never wash or rinse the engine while it is
running; water in the running engine may cause
internal damage.

Cleaning the engine

Cover the underhood electrical connections and
terminals of your vehicle when cleaning the engine
compartment. Avoid spraying or splashing cleaning
solvents or detergent solutions on the terminals and
connections. After the cleaning is completed and
with the engine not running, remove the protective
cleaning coverings. Exposing electrical connections
and terminals to cleaning solvents and detergent
solutions over a period of time can corrode them
and result in electrical system damage and
malfunctions.

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.
