uu Cleaning u Exterior Care
516
Maintenance • Keep sufficient distance between the cleaning nozzl e and the vehicle body.
• Take particular care around the windows. Standing too close may cause water to
enter the vehicle interior.
• Do not spray water into the engine compartment.
A good coat of automotive body wax helps protect your vehicle’s paint from the
elements. Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle’s paint to the
elements, so reapply as necessary.
If you get gasoline, oil, coolant, or batter y fluid on resin coated parts, they may be
stained or the coating may peel. Promptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and clean
water.
Wipe using a glass cleaner.■ Using High Pressure Cleaners

dealer about the correct coating material when you
want to repair the painted surface of the parts made
of resin.
