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
commercially available chrome polish.
Aluminum wheels
(if so equipped)
1. Remove dirt using a wet sponge.
2. Use a mild detergent on any dirt that can-
not be removed easily with water.
Rinse off the detergent after washing the
wheels.
3. Dry the wheels thoroughly using a cham-
ois leather or a soft cloth.
CAUTION
 Do not use a brush or other hard implement
on the wheels.
 Do not use any cleaner that contains an abra-
sive substance or is acidic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels to
peel or become discolored or stained.
 Do not directly apply hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means.
 Contact with seawater or road salt used for
de-icing can cause corrosion. Rinse off such
substances as soon as possible.
Window glass
N00946400052
The window glass can usually be cleaned
using only a sponge and water. Glass cleaner
can be used to remove wax, oil, grease, dead
insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it
dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
Wiper blades
N00946501236
Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to remove
grease, dead insects, etc., from the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades when they no longer
clean the windshield properly.
Engine compartment
Never spray or splash water on the electrical
accessories in the engine compartment. This
puts the engine at risk of being damaged.
Do not bring the circumferential parts, the
plastic parts and so on into contact with sulfu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which may
crack, stain or discolor them.
If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth,
chamois or the like and an aqueous solution
of neutral detergent then immediately rinse
the affected parts with plenty of water.
