Bumpers and side moldings
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION
■
Caution about the exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has cooled
sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
NOTICE
■
To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (aluminum wheels etc.)
●
Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If you see coal tar or tree sap on the paint surface
• If you see dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings on the paint
• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust,
iron powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled in dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint surface
●
If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
●
To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity when storing the wheels.
●
Clean the drainage hole of the deck regularly.
If the drainage hole is stopped up, the water will not be able to flow, and it
will cause rust.
