7
During cold weatherSalt and other chemicals spread on the roads in some areas in winter can have a harmful eff
ect on the vehicle body. You
should therefore wash the ve
hicle as often as possible in
accordance with our care-instruc
tions. It is recommended to
have a preservative applied an
d the underfloor protection
checked before and after
the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe
off all waterdrops from the
rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freez- ing.NOTE●
To prevent freezing of the w
eatherstripping on the doors,
bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone spray.
Waxing
E00901000254
Waxing the vehicle will help prev
ent the adherence of dust and
road chemicals to the paintwor
k. Apply a wax solution after
washing the vehicle, or at l
east once every three months to
assist displacing of water.Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You should wax after the surfaces have cooled.
CAUTION
!●
Waxes containing high ab
rasive compounds should
not be used. Such waxes re
move rust and stain effec-
tively from the paintwork but they are harmful tothe lustre of the painted surface. Further, they are harmful to
glossy surfaces such as
grille, garnish, mouldings, etc.
●
Do not use petrol or paint thinners to remove road tar or other contaminatio
n to the vehicle surface.
●
Do not apply wax on the areas having black mat coating as it can cause

olouration,
patches, blurs, etc. If stained with wax, immediately wipe off with a piece of so
ft cloth and warm water.
●
On vehicles with the sunroof, be careful when wax- ing the area around the sunroof opening, not to put any wax on the weathers
trip (black rubber). If
