Vehicle care and maintenance
Damaged paint
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched
up as soon as possible with touch-up paint to prevent corrosion.
Check body areas facing the road or the tires carefully for dam-
age to the paint caused by flying stones, etc. The paint code
number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle informa-
tion code plate in the engine compartment.

Cleaning plastic parts
N00946200018
Use a sponge or chamois to clean these parts.
If vehicle wax sticks to a gray or black rough surface of the
bumper, moulding or lights, the surface may appear white in
color. In this case, wipe it off using lukewarm water and a soft
cloth or chamois.
CAUTION
!
Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrub-
ber as these may damage the plastic surface.
Do not use wax containing compounds (polishing
powder) which may damage the plastic surface.
Do not let plastic parts get soiled with gasoline, light
oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint thinner
and sulfuric acid (battery electrolyte). These fluids,
etc., may stain, crack or discolor the plastic parts.
If any of these get on a plastic part, wipe them up
with a soft cloth or chamois and a watery solution of
gentle soap. Then rinse them immediately with
water.

Chrome parts

To prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash with
water, dry thoroughly, and apply a nonabrasive automotive
wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a com-
mercially available chrome polish.
