Land Rover Defender: After off-road driving
Make sure the areas around air intakes and the front grille are clean and clear of debris. Pay particular attention to the lower grille and radiator. Failure to do so may cause the engine to overheat, leading to severe engine damage.
Make sure the vehicle's underbody is cleaned as soon as possible after driving off-road.
For vehicles fitted with air suspension, raise the suspension to Off-Road 2 to improve cleaning access.
Make sure all mud and debris is removed from the rear air spring. Failure to do so may lead to permanent damage to the air spring sleeve.
ALLOY WHEELS
Use only approved wheel cleaning products. Using unapproved cleaning products may damage the vehicle.
THE INTERIOR
Some cleaning products contain substances that are harmful and can cause health problems if used incorrectly. Some cleaning products may cause damage to the vehicle's interior.
Make sure to read the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
To prevent damage to the vehicle when using a detailing service, make sure to advise them of the cleaning instructions contained within the Owner's Handbook.
CLEANING SWITCHES AND CONTROLS
Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth when cleaning switches or controls. Do not apply excessive pressure when doing so.
Do not spray liquids directly onto the surface of switches and controls. Liquids leaking into the gaps around switches and controls can damage the electronics of the vehicle.
Do not use chemical agents, solvents, or domestic cleaning products. Using unapproved cleaning products may damage the vehicle.
When cleaning, do not allow sharp or abrasive objects to make contact with the components. Using unapproved cleaning equipment may damage the vehicle.
FABRIC UPHOLSTERY
Do not polish the Instrument panel.
Polished surfaces are reflective, and may interfere with the driver's view. Driving with an obstructed view may result in accidents causing serious injury or death.
Clean plastic or cloth-faced surfaces with warm water and non-detergent soap, and then wipe clean with a soft cloth.
