Car Wash Guidelines

Automatic car washes are not recom-
mended. Some automatic car washes
will cause damage to your vehicle,
wheels, or convertible top, if equipped.
If you drive your vehicle through an
automatic car wash that does not have
enough clearance for the undercarriage
and/or wide rear tires, you could dam-
age your vehicle. Verify with the manag-
er of the car wash that your vehicle will
fit before entering the car wash. To avoid
possible damage, use touchless auto-
matic car washes.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
