Cleaning the outside of your vehicle
CAUTION
 Do not use a brush or other hard implement
on the wheels.

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.

dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.

grease, dead insects, etc., from the wiper
blades.

clean the windshield and rear window prop-
erly.
