4-1. Maintenance and care

Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior

Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime condi-
tion:
● Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
● Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.
Automatic car washes
Before washing the vehicle:
• Fold the mirrors.
• Turn off the power back door system (if equipped).
Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle' s paint.
In certain automatic car washes, the rear spoiler may interfere with machine
operation. This may prevent the vehicle from being cleaned properly or result in
damage to the rear spoiler.
High pressure car washes
Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of the
windows and the air suspension unit (if equipped).
Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is
closed properly.
