Automatic car wash
The vehicle should be washed at regular inter- vals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spotsadhere to the paint and may cause damage.To help prevent corrosion, it is particularlyimportant to wash the car frequently in thewintertime.• We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the firstfew months (because the paint will nothave hardened sufficiently).
• An automatic wash is a simple and quickway to clean your car, but it is worthremembering that it may not be as thor-ough as when you yourself go over thecar with sponge and water. Keeping theunderbody clean is most important, espe-cially in the winter. Some automaticwashers do not have facilities for washingthe underbody.
NOTE
Condensation may form temporarily on the inside of the lenses of exterior lights suchas headlights, fog lights, or taillights. Thisis normal and the lights are designed towithstand moisture. Normally, condensa-tion will dissipate after the lights have beenon for a short time.
CAUTION
• Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensorto avoid damaging the windshield wip-ers.
• Make sure that side view mirrors, aux-iliary lamps, etc, are secure, and thatany antenna(s) are retracted orremoved. Otherwise there is risk of themachine dislodging them.
• Chromed wheels:
Clean chrome-
plated wheels using the same deter-gents used for the body of the vehicle.Aggressive wheel-cleaning agents canpermanently stain chrome-platedwheels.
WARNING
• When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes,including the parking brake, severaltimes in order to remove any moisturefrom the brake linings.
• Engine cleaning agents should not beused when the engine is warm. Thisconstitutes a fire risk.

Polishing and waxing
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery, however, waxing maybe beneficial.
• Before applying polish or wax the vehicle must be washed and dried. Tar spots canbe removed with kerosene or tar remover.Difficult spots may require a fine rubbingcompound.
• After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
• Several commercially available productscontain both polish and wax.
• Waxing alone does not substitute for pol-ishing a dull surface.
• A wide range of polymer-based waxescan be purchased today. These waxesare easy to use and produce a long-last-ing, high-gloss finish that protects thebodywork against oxidation, road dirt andfading.
• Do not polish or wax your vehicle in directsunlight (the surface of the vehicle shouldnot be warmer than 113 °F (45 °C).
