Cleaning Exterior Care
QRG
Applying Wax
■
A good coat of automotive body wax helps protect your vehicle's paint from
the elements. Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle's paint to the
elements, so reapply as necessary.
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.
Cleaning the Window
■
Wipe using a glass cleaner.
Maintaining Aluminum Wheels
■
TOC
Aluminum is susceptible to deterioration caused by salt and dirt. Use a sponge and
mild detergent to wipe away road dirt or salt water 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
keeps the aluminum from corroding and tarnishing.

Applying Wax
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
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
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.
