Cleaning the Vehicle General
– 12 –
Cleaning the Cab
The external paintwork of the cab is
subject to attack by aggressive sub-
stances, the severity of which depends
upon the specific transport role and
operating conditions of the vehicle, for
example salt scattered on icy roads,
and air pollution. The paintwork must
therefore be cleaned regularly.
When cleaning the cab, make sure that:
• no aggressive cleaners are used;
• no stiff brushes are used;
• all seams, gaps, and door frames
are thoroughly cleaned.
Waxing the Cab
To maintain and protect the cab paint-
work, it is recommended that a coating
of wax is applied at least twice a year.
Your dealer can advise you about addi-
tional anti-rust treatment and mainte-
nance of the paintwork when the
vehicle is in service.
Cleaning the Cab Interior
Clean the carpets and seats with a
brush or vacuum cleaner and occasion-
ally with diluted upholstery cleaner; do
not attempt to “dry clean” the carpets
or seats.
Clean vinyl faced upholstery and paint-
work with a mild household detergent;
do not use harsh abrasives or solvent-
based cleaning solutions.
NOTE: The appearance of
your vehicle is the calling card
of your company!
