Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from air, rain, snow, or road sur- faces can damage the paint and body of yourvehicle if left on. Frequent washing and wa
xing is the best way
to protect your vehicle from this damage.Do not wash the vehicl
e in direct sunlight.
Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it with water to remove dust.
Next, using plenty of
clean water and a car washing mitt or sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom.Use a mild car washing soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and wipe
dry with a cham-
ois or soft cloth. Af
ter washing the vehicle,
carefully clean the join
ts and flanges of the
doors, hood, etc., wher
e dirt is likely to
remain.
Salt and other chemicals used on winter roads in some geographical areas can have a detri-mental effect on the vehicle underbody. You should flush the underb
ody with a high pres-
sure hose every time you wash the outside ofyour vehicle. Take special care to remove mud or other debris which could trap and hold salt andmoisture. After washing your vehicle, wipe off all waterdrops from the rubber parts around thedoors to prevent the doors from freezing.
Wa s h i n g
CAUTION When washing the underside of your vehicle or the wheels, wear a pair of gloves to pro- tect your hands. If your vehicle is equipped with the rain sen- sor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to
deactivate the rain sensor
before washing the vehi
cle. Otherwise, the
wipers will operate in
the presence of water
spray on the windshiel
d and may get dam-
aged as a result.
Never spray or splash
water on the electrical
parts in the engine compartment. This maydamage them. Be careful also when washingthe underbody to ensure that water does not enter the engine compartment. Avoid automatic car washers that use rotat- ing brushes. These br
ushes may scratch the
paint surface and 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.
Because hot wate
r can damage 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 the glass surface.
Make sure to do the following when using an automatic car wash, with help from either this manual or the car wash operator, toavoid damaging your vehicle:• Fold the outside
rearview mirrors.
• Tape or remove the rear wiper arm assem- bly.• If your vehicle is equi
pped with roof rails
or a roof spoiler, check with the car washoperator before using the car wash.CAUTION
• If your vehicle is e
quipped with the rain
sensor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deac
tivate the rain sen-
sor.
During cold weather
NOTE
When the door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or cr
ack the rubber gasket
installed around the door. Pour warm water to melt the ice. Be
sure to thoroughly wipe
off the water after opening the door. To pre-vent freezing of the
weatherstripping on the
doors, hood, etc., treat
with silicone lubri-
cant.CAUTION
