Maintenance
NOTICE
• Water washing in the engine com-
partment including high pressure
water washing may cause the failure
of electrical circuits located in the en-
gine compartment.
• Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec-
tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
Automatic car wash which uses rotating
brushes should not be used as this can
damage the surface of your vehicle. A
steam cleaner which washes the vehicle
surface at high temperature may result
the oil to adhere and leave stains that is
difficult to remove.
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber towel or
sponge) when washing your vehicle and
dry with a microfiber towel. When you
hand wash your vehicle, you should not
use a cleaner that finishes with wax. If
the vehicle surface is too dirty (sand,
dirt, dust, contaminant, etc.), clean the
surface with water before washing the
car.

Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no longer
bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or paste
wax, and follow the manufacturer's in-
structions. Wax all metal trim to protect it
and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
with a spot remover will usually strip the
OKS092055 OKS092055
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle
does not yet need waxing.
NOTICE
• Wiping dust or dirt off the body with a
dry cloth will scratch the finish.
• Do not use steel wool, abrasive clean-
ers, or strong detergents containing
highly alkaline or caustic agents on
chrome-plated or anodized alumi-
num parts. This may result in damage
to the protective coating and cause
discoloration or paint deterioration.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
Do not use any polish protector such as a
detergent, an abrasive and a polish. In
case wax is applied, remove the wax im-
mediately using a silicon remover and if
any tar or tar contaminant is on the sur-
face use a tar remover to clean. Howev-
er, be careful not to apply too much
pressure on the painted area.
