Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, or when water does not bead up on the paint. Use a soft cloth to put a small amount of wax on the painted surfaces. After the wax hasdried, polish with a dry soft cloth. Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You should wax when the painted surfacesare cool.

If painted surfaces have been severely dam- aged and lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a finepolishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat wider area, moving the polishingcloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the compound from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.

Small cracks and scratches in the paint coatshould be touched up as soon as possible withtouch-up paint to prevent corrosion. Check body areas facing the road or the tires carefully for damage to the paint caused byflying stones, etc. The paint code number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate located on the frontpassenger door sill.

Use a sponge or chamois to clean these parts.If the vehicle wax sticks to a gray or blackrough surface of the bumper, molding or lights, the surface may appear white in color. In this case, wipe it off using lukewarm waterand a soft cloth or chamois.
NOTE
 When the door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or crack 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.
Waxing
CAUTION Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. These waxes remove rust and stain effectively from the paintwork, butare harmful to the finish of the paint, because they also remove paint/clearcoat. They are also harmful to other glossy sur-faces such as the grill
e, trim, moldings, etc.
Do not use gasoline, benzine, kerosene or paint thinners to remove road tar or other dirt from the vehicle surface. Do not put wax on the areas having black matte coating because it can cause uneven discoloration, patches, blurs, etc. If these get wax on them, wipe the wax off right awaywith a soft cloth and warm water. On vehicles equipped with the power pan- oramic sunroof, be careful when waxing the area around the front sunroof opening, not to put any wax on the weatherstrip (black rub-ber) and surrounding plastic parts. If stained with wax, the weatherstrip and surrounding plastic parts cannot maintain a weatherproofseal with the front sunroof.
Polishing
CAUTION
Damaged paint Cleaning plastic parts
CAUTION Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrubber as these may damage the plastic surface. Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which may damage the plas-tic surface.
