CARE AND CLEANING OF THE
EXTERIOR
Exterior Finish
The paint finish on your vehicle provides
beauty, depth of color, gloss retention and
durability.
Washing Your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle's
finish is to keep it clean by frequent
washings.
Wash the vehicle in lukewarm or cold wa-
ter.
Do not use hot water or wash your vehicle
in the direct rays of the sun. Do not use
strong soap or chemical detergent. All clean-
ing agents should be flushed promptly from
the surface and not allowed to dry on the
finish.
Ssangyong vehicles are designed to oper-
ate under normal environmental conditions
and to withstand the natural elements. How-
ever, unusual conditions, such as high pres-
sure car washes, may cause water to en-
ter inside the vehicle.

Polishing and Waxing
Periodic polishing and waxing is recom-
mended to remove surface residue from
your paint finish. Approved products are
supplied through your Ssangyong Dealer.
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be cleaned regu-
larly to keep their luster. Washing with wa-
ter is all that is usually needed.
Use special care with aluminum trim. To
avoid damaging protective trim, never use
automotive or chrome polish, steam, or caus-
tic soap to clean aluminum. A coating of
wax, rubbed to a high polish, is recom-
mended for all bright metal parts.
VEHICLE CARE 8–3
Cleaning Aluminum Wheels, Rally
Wheels, and Wheel Covers
Preserve the original appearance of wheels
or wheel covers by keeping then clean and
free from build-up of road dirt and/or road
salt. Regular cleaning is recommended. Do
not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning
brushes, as they could damage the finish.
