Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior

Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime
condition:
 Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any
dirt and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehi-
cle body is cool.
 Automatic car washes
 Before washing the vehicle, do the following:
• Fold the mirrors back.
• Remove the antenna.
 Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface
and harm your vehicle's paint.
 High pressure car washes
 Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity
of the windows.
 Before car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed
properly.
