Instructions for the Use and Care of
Your Acura Car Cover
made of EVOLUTION Fabric
NOTICE: Do not dry this car cover in automatic dryers.
Your new cover will help minimize deterioration of the paint and upholstery of your
vehicle by shielding it from the ultra-violet rays of the sun, dirt, dust, tree leaves, sap,
bird droppings, industrial pollutants, and salt particles in the air. The cover, although
not waterproof, can keep your car dry in light precipitation, but not in a rainstorm. It
has been treated with a durable water repellent and is mildew resistant. The cover is
made from a “breathable” fabric and will not trap moisture, which can cause damage
to the paint.
INSTALLATION OF THE COVER
When installing your cover,
make sure that the mirror pockets on the sides of the
cover are pulled over the mirrors before pulling the ends of the cover over the
bumpers (see figure A).

REMOVAL
To remove the cover, first release both ends from under the bumpers. Fold the cover
from one side of the car toward the middle. Remove the mirror pockets from the side
mirrors carefully; do not pull or tug on them as this may tear the cover, or break the
mirrors. Make the fold about two feet wide (see figure B). Make the same fold from
the other side of the car to meet the first folded section. Then fold the cover from the
front to the back of the car in two foot folds (see figure C). Place the folded cover in
the storage bag and store it in the trunk/luggage compartment. Using this procedure
will make the installation and removal of the cover prompt and efficient.

USING THE CAR COVER CABLE AND LOCK
Install the cable and lock as shown in the illustration. The locking system will be
ineffective if the cable is incorrectly installed.
The cable must be threaded through the loop on one end and locked to itself at the
other end as shown (see figure D). The steel cable passes under the car and through
the scratchproof grommets at the bottom of the sides of the cover. The cable is
secured with the lock. The cover may be used with or without the lock and cable.

CLEANING AND WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE: Do not dry this cover in automatic dryers.
The cover can be washed while it is on the car with a small amount of Liquid
Fantastik Cleaner and a soft brush or sponge. Use water to completely rinse off the
cleaner. Leave the cover on the car, or draped over a clothes line or wall, and allow it
to air dry.
The cover can also be washed in a large automatic washer found in most commercial
laundromats. A home-sized washer is too small. DO NOT use a washer with an
agitator as this can rip or tear the fabric. Use two (2) cups of Liquid Fantastik
Cleaner. DO NOT use soap or detergent. The cover can be washed in warm water.
Water temperature must not exceed 185°F (85°C)
Run it through two rinse cycles. It is very important that the cleaner is thoroughly
removed to preserve the cover’s water repellency.
Do not put the cover in an automatic dryer — severe damage to the cover will
occur. The cover can only be air-dried draped over a clothes line, wall or on the car.
