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 petrol, 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 and
water.
■
Cleaning the Window
Wipe using a glass cleaner.
■
Water repellent glass *
The front side windows are fitted with water repellent agent glasses that disperse
water into droplets. To clean the front side windows, wash off with water, or wipe
with a soft damp cloth.
Using a glass cleaner may temporarily prevent the water repellent glasses from
dispersing water. Rinsing the glasses with water can make them water repellent
again. If you find that the glass has stopped dispersing water, consult a dealer.
* Not available on all models
