you in choosing the proper product.
OWax your vehicle only after a thorough
washing. Follow the instructions supplied
with the wax.
ODo not use a wax containing any abra-
sives, cutting compounds or cleaners
that may damage the vehicle finish.
OIf the surface does not polish easily, use
a ``road tar'' remover and wax again.
Machine compounding or aggressive pol-
ishing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish
may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.
Removing spots
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects and tree sap as quickly as possible
from the surface of the paint to avoid per-
manent damage or staining. Special clean-
ing products are available at an authorized
NISSAN dealer or any automotive accesso-
ries store.
Underbody
In areas where road salt is used in winter, it
is necessary to clean the underbody regu-
larly in order to prevent dirt and salt from
building up and causing corrosion on theunderbody and suspension. Before the win-
ter period and again in the spring, the
underseal must be checked and, if neces-
sary, retreated.
Cleaning glass
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and
dust film from the glass surfaces. It is nor-
mal for glass to be coated with a film after
the vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Glass
cleaner and a soft cloth easily remove this
film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the win-
dow, do not use sharp-edged tools or
abrasive cleaners or chlorine-based
disinfectant cleaners. They could dam-
age the electrical conductors, radio an-
tenna elements or rear window defog-
ger elements.
Cleaning aluminum alloy wheels
Wash regularly, especially during winter
months in areas where road salt is used.
Salt could discolor the wheel if not removed.
Chrome parts
Clean all chrome parts regularly with a
non-abrasive chrome polish to maintain the
finish.
Cleaning interior
Occasionally remove loose dust from the
interior trim, plastic parts and seats using a
vacuum cleaner or soft brush. Wipe the
vinyl and leather surfaces with a clean, soft
cloth dampened in mild soap solution, then
wipe clean with a dry soft cloth. Before
using any fabric protector, read the manu-
facturer's recommendations. Some fabric
protectors contain chemicals that stain or
bleach the seat material. Use a cloth damp-
ened only with water, to clean the meter and
gauge lens.
CAUTION
ONever use benzine, thinner or any
similar material.
ONever use fabric protectors unless
recommended by the manufacturer.
ODo not use glass or plastic cleaner
on meter or gauge lens covers. It
may damage the lens cover.
