Washing by a high-pressure cleaner
Waxing
60B211S
After washing the vehicle, waxing and pol-
ishing are recommended to further protect
and beautify the paint.
• Only use waxes and polishes of good
quality.
• When using waxes and polishes, observe the precautions specified by the
manufacturers.
NOTICE
When using a commercial car wash
product, observe the cautions speci-
fied by the manufacturer. Never use
strong household detergents or
soaps.
NOTICE
If you use an automatic car wash,
check that your vehicle’s body parts,
such as spoilers, cannot be dam-
aged. If you are in doubt, consult the
car wash operator for advice.
NOTICE
If you use a high-pressure cleaner,
keep away the nozzle from your vehi-
cle sufficiently.
• Bringing the nozzle to your vehicle
too close or pointing the nozzle to
the opening of front grill or bumper
etc. can cause damage and mal-
function of the vehicle body and
parts.
• Pointing the nozzle to the weather-
strip of door glasses, doors and the
sunroof (if equi pped) can allow
water to enter the cabin.
