MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

1,200 psi (8 274 kPa) can result in
damage or removal of paint and
decals.
Special Care
• If you drive on salted or dusty roads or
if you drive near the ocean, hose off the
undercarriage at least once a month.
• It is important that the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors and rocker
panels be kept clear and open.
• If you detect any stone chips or
scratches in the paint, touch them up
immediately. The cost of such repairs is
considered the responsibility of the
owner.
