Your vehicle requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel confi dent in your ability to
perform the maintenance listed below, you may schedule inspection and maintenance at your authorized dealer.
The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TIRE PRESSURE – PNEUMATIC TIRES
If equipped with pneumatic tires, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire be
maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinfl ate or overinfl ate your tires. Low
pressure may result in loss of control, and overinfl ated tires may burst. Failure to maintain the
psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel
failure.
Regularly inspect your vehicle's tires for signs of damage or wear.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tires, and trim can benefi t from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the vehicle's vinyl seat or tire tread, as
this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your vehicle. Avoid
using products that may scratch the surface of your vehicle.
If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on
your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning
agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or
premature deterioration of upholstery and/or vehicle fi nishes.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
The batteries must sit fl at in the battery wells.
The battery terminals should face according to the battery wiring diagram. See III. "Batteries and Charging."
WIRING HARNESSES
Regularly check all wiring connections.
Regularly check all wiring insulation, including the charger power cord, for wear or damage.
Have your authorized dealer repair or replace any damaged connector, connection, or insulation that you fi nd
before using your vehicle again.
PROHIBITED! Even though the vehicle has passed the necessary testing requirements for ingress
of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness, including
direct exposure to water or bodily fl uids and incontinence. Check electrical components
frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
WARNING! Do not pull on electrical harnesses directly to detach them from the vehicle. Always
grasp the connector itself when disconnecting the harness to prevent wire damage.
