Exterior Care

Exterior Finish
The paint finish on your vehicle provides
beauty, depth of color, gloss retention and
durability.
In order to prevent damage or leakage, do
not grip the roof marker lights to prevent
damage or water leakage.
Washing
The best way to preserve your vehicle's
finish is to keep it clean by washing it often.
Wash the vehicle in lukewarm or cold water.
Do not use hot water or wash your vehicle
in the direct rays of the sun. Do not use
strong soap or chemical detergents. All
cleaning agents should be flushed promptly
from the surface and not allowed to dry on
the finish.
These vehicles are designed to operate
under normal environmental conditions to
withstand natural elements. However,
unusual conditions such as high-pressure car
washers may cause water to enter inside
the vehicle. If the vehicle is operated with
foreign material adhering to the exterior,
this material may react chemically with
paint, resulting in staining, discoloration,
rusting or corrosion of components. Also,
the material may become trapped within
mechanical components, adversely affecting
their functions or forming an aerodynamic
resistance. In the following cases, therefore,
the vehicle must be washed and all foreign
matter removed.
When soot, iron powder, dead bugs, bird
droppings, tree sap or oily matter from
coal tar and smoke has adhered to
painted surfaces.
When the vehicle has been driven in
coastal areas.
When the vehicle has been driven on
roads where road chemicals have been
applied.
Vehicle Care
When a large amount of mud or dirt has
adhered to the exterior.
To wash the vehicle:
Do not apply water to the tail end of the
exhaust pipe. Failure to observe this
precaution can lead to fault exhaust gas
measurement sensors by getting wet.
1. Fully turn on the tap, and wash out the
undercarriage and suspension.
2. Close all openings and wash the cab and
cargo body panels using a neutral
detergent.
