from the screen area below windshield.

around the engine do not wash the engine
compartment. Avoid frequent engine
washes.
When washing the engine compartment:
•
Never wash or rinse the engine while it
is hot or running.
•

spark plug wire or spark plug well.
•
Cover the battery, power distribution
box, and air filter assembly to prevent
water damage.

remove the cover before application of
shampoo and degreaser.
•
Spray an approved engine shampoo
and degreaser on all parts that require
cleaning and rinse with water.

•
Do not use water pressure higher than
1,450 psi (10,000 kPa).
•
Do not use water hotter than 167°F
(75°C).
Note: Holding the pressure washer nozzle
at an angle to the vehicle's surface may
damage graphics and cause the edges to
peel away from the vehicle's surface.
CLEANING CAMERA LENSES AND
SENSORS
We recommend that you only use
lukewarm or cold water and a soft cloth
to clean the camera lens and sensors.
Note: Do not pressure wash camera lens
and sensors.
CLEANING THE UNDERBODY
Flush the complete underside of your
vehicle frequently. Keep body and door
drain holes free from packed dirt.
Rear suspension components and the
complete underbody will require regular
cleaning with a power washer or a
thorough rinse with a strong stream of
water if the vehicle is operated in coastal
areas, dusty or muddy environments. Rear
leaf springs or other suspension
components may emit squeaking or
popping noises while operating the vehicle
if particles, such as dirt, rocks, or other
debris, are present in the components.
