Never spray or splash water on the electricalparts in the engine compartment. This maydamage them. Be careful also when washingthe underbody to ensure that water does notenter the engine compartment.Avoid automatic car washers that use rotat-ing brushes. These br
ushes may scratch the
paint surface a
nd make it dull.
Scratches are more not
iceable on darker col-
ored vehicles.Some hot water wash
ing equipment uses
high pressure and heat
to clean your vehicle.

mage plastics parts
and seep inside your ve
hicle, make sure you
do the following when using such equip-ment:• Keep the washing nozzle at least 28 inches(70 cm) away from the vehicle body.• When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 28inches (70 cm) and at a right angle to theglass surface.

ese waxes remove rust
and stain effectively fr
om the paintwork, but
are harmful to the finish of the paint, becausethey also remove
paint/clearcoat.

road tar or other dirt
from the vehicle surface.Do not put wax on the areas having blackmatte coating because
it can cause uneven
