Appearance Care

Exterior Care

If dirt and/or contaminants build
up in the glass seals, use a cloth
and water to clean the glass seals.
Silicone grease on weatherstrips
will make them last longer, seal
better, and not stick or squeak.
Apply silicone grease with a clean
cloth. During very cold, damp
weather frequent application may
be required. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 11 6.
Washing the Vehicle
The best way to preserve the
vehicle's finish is to keep it clean
by washing it often.
Vehicle Care
Notice: Certain cleaners contain
chemicals that can damage
the emblems or nameplates on
the vehicle. Check the cleaning
product label. If it states that it
should not be used on plastic
parts, do not use it on the vehicle
or damage may occur and it
would not be covered by the
warranty.
Do not wash the vehicle in
direct sunlight. Use a car washing
soap. Do not use cleaning agents
that are petroleum based or
that contain acid or abrasives,
as they can damage the paint,
metal or plastic on the vehicle.
