Dust off the vehicle body after you drive. Regularly inspect your vehicle for scratches on painted surfaces. A scratch on a painted surface can result in body rust. If you find a scratch, promptly repair it. ■Washing the Vehicle Wash the vehicle regularly. Wash more frequently when driving in the
following
conditions: Do not spray water into the air intake vents or engine compartment. It can cause a malfunction. ■Using an Automated Car Wash Fold in the door mirrors.

Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle’s paint to the elements, so reapply as necessary. NOTICE Chemical solvents and strong cleaners can damage the paint, metal, and plastic on your vehicle. Wipe up spills immediately. ■Maintaining the Bumpers and Other Resin Coated Parts If you get gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery fluid on resin coated parts, they may be stained or the coating may peel. Promptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and clean water. Ask a dealer about the correct coating material when you want to repair the painted surface of the parts made of resin. ■Cleaning the Window Wipe using a glass cleaner. Wires are mounted to the inside of the rear window. Wipe along the same direction as the wires with a soft cloth so as not to damage them. ■Maintaining Aluminum Wheels* Aluminum is susceptible to deterioration caused by salt and other road contaminants. Use a sponge and mild detergent to wipe away promptly. Be careful not to use harsh chemicals (including some commercial wheel cleaners) or a stiff brush. They can damage the clear coat of the aluminum alloy wheels that helps keep the aluminum from corroding and tarnishing. |
