CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Washing Your Vehicle
Do not drive your vehicle through an
automated, commercial car wash due to
the vehicle s low ground clearance and tire
width. Wash your vehicle by hand, or by
using a touchless commercial wash with
no mechanical tracks on the floor. Do not
use a power washer or high pressure wand.
To maintain proper cooling and
aerodynamics at high speeds, your vehicle
has heat exchangers integrated with the
front fascia designed to maximize
performance. Do not use a power washer
or high powered spray nozzle as damage
to the cooling fins could occur.
Note: For heavy accumulation of debris or
dirt, clean with a non-metallic soft bristle
car wash brush and warm soapy water as
needed.
Stripes or Graphics
Hand washing your vehicle is preferred
however, pressure washing may be used
under the following conditions:
• Do not use water pressure higher than
2,000 psi (14,000 kPa).
• Do not use water hotter than 179°F
(82°C).
• Use a spray with a 40° wide spray
angle pattern.
• Keep the nozzle at a 12 in (305 mm)
distance and 90° angle to your
vehicle's surface.
Note: Holding the pressure washer nozzle
at an angle to the vehicle's surface may
damage graphics and cause the edges to
peel away from the vehicle's surface.
