APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly and frequently at least once
a month with lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign mate‐ rials. Make sure the drain holes in the
lower edges of the doors and rocker
panels are kept clear and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, in‐ dustrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used. After washing, rinse the vehicle thor‐
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
CAUTION
•Do not use strong soap, chemicaldetergents or hot water, and donot wash the vehicle in direct sun‐light or when the body of the vehi‐cle is warm.
•Be careful when washing the sidewindows of your vehicle.Especially, with high-pressure wa‐ter, water may leak through thewindows and wet the interior.
•To prevent damage to the plasticparts and lamps, do not clean withchemical solvents or strong deter‐gents.
WARNING
nWet brakes

they have been affected by water. Ifbraking performance is impaired, drythe brakes by applying them lightlywhile maintaining a slow forwardspeed.
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure washers, make sure to maintain sufficient dis‐
tance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive pressure can lead to component
damage or water penetration.
• Do not spray the camera, sensors or its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may cause the device to not operate normally.
• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be damaged
if they come into contact with high
pressure water.
