INTRODUCTION
To prevent brake rotor rust from forming during transportation and storage, wheel film will be used instead of a cardboard type of anti-rust cover. The purpose of the wheel film is to shield the disc brake rotor from weather elements and initial rust before the vehicle is delivered to the customer. Consequently, the film should remain on the wheel for as long as possible.
- Retain the wheel film on the disc wheel during vehicle display and storage.
- If the vehicle will be stored after Pre-Delivery Service (PDS), do NOT remove the wheel film right away.
- Remove the wheel film just prior to the delivery to customers.

FILM REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
HINT
When the wheel film is removed below an ambient temperature of 0°C (32°F), it is possible that the film may tear. To make film removal in cold conditions easier, please warm the film above 0°C (32°F) using one of the following methods:
- Splash hot water on the wheel film.
- Warm the wheel film with a cotton cloth soaked in hot water.
- Warm the wheel film with a heat gun. Do NOT overheat the film and wheel.
- Warm the wheel film by an infrared heater (lamp) for paint. Do NOT overheat the film and wheel.
- Warm the wheel film by a steam car wash.
- Park the vehicle indoors (e.g., garage, etc.) for an extended period.
- If film adhesive residue is found on the disc wheel, remove it with a soft cloth dipped in ethyl alcohol (ethanol).
- Do NOT use paint thinner to remove the adhesive residue.
FILM DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
Please follow local laws for disposal. Polyethylene film will not generate harmful gasses when it is burned.
