Chemicals cont
ained 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 vehicl
e from this damage.
Do not wash the vehicle 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. After washing the vehicle,carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, hood, etc., wher
e dirt is likely to
remain.
Salt and other chemical
s used on winter roads
in some geographical ar
eas can have a detri-
mental effect on the vehicle underbody. You should flush the underbody 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 equippe
d with the rain sen-
sor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deacti
vate the rain sensor
before washing the vehi
cle. Otherwise, the
wipers will operate in
the presence of water
spray on the windshield 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 brushes 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 water can da
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 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 equipped with roof railsor a roof spoiler, check with the car washoperator before using the car wash.CAUTION
• If your vehicle is equipped with the rainsensor, 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 crack the rubber gasketinstalled 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 we
atherstripping on the
doors, hood, etc., treat with silicone lubri- cant.CAUTION

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 waxon the painted surfaces. After the wax has dried, polish with a dry soft cloth. Do not wax your vehicle
in direct sunlight.
You should wax when the painted surfaces are cool.
N00946100046
If painted surfaces have
been severely dam-
aged and lost their original luster and colortone, polish the surface
lightly with a fine
polishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damage
d surface only; polish
a somewhat wider area, moving the polishing cloth in one direction.
After polishing, flush
the compound from the surface and apply acoat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
N00946201099
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coatshould be touched up as soon as possible with touch-up paint to prevent corrosion. Check body areas facing the road or the tirescarefully for damage to the paint caused by flying stones, etc. The paint code number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle
information code plate located on the front passenger door sill.
N00946301221
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 water
and a soft cloth or chamois.
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 grille, 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, bl
urs, etc. If these get
wax on them, wipe the wax off right away with a soft clot
h and warm water.
On vehicles with sunr
oof, be careful not to
apply any wax on the
weatherstrip (black
rubber) when waxing the area around thesunroof opening. If stained with wax,
the weatherstrip cannot
maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun-roof.
Polishing Damaged paint
CAUTION
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. Do not let plastic parts
get soiled with gaso-
line, oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint thinner, and sulfuric acid (battery elec-trolyte), as such substa
nces will cause stains,
cracks, or discoloration. If any of these get on a plastic part, wipethem up with a soft cloth or chamois and a mild solution of soap and water. Then rinse them immediately with water.

usually be cleaned
using only a sponge and
water. Glass cleaner
can be used to remove wax, oil, grease, deadinsects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
N00946700068

ass cleaner to remove
grease, dead insects, etc., from the wiperblades. Replace the wiper blades when they no longer clean the windshield and rear window prop-erly.
N00946800069

should be wiped away
with a cloth dipped in
warm, neutral deter-
gent solution. Wipe away the solution with a sponge dipped in fresh water.

Never spray or splash
water on the electrical
accessories in the engine compartment. This puts the engine at risk of being damaged.Do not bring the circum
ferential parts, the
plastic parts and so on
into contact with sulfu-
ric acid (battery electrolyte) which maycrack, stain or discolor them. If they are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth, chamois or the like and an aqueous solutionof neutral detergent th
en immediately rinse
the affected parts with plenty of water.
Chrome parts Aluminum wheels
CAUTION Do not use a brush or other hard implement on the wheels. Do not use any cleaner th
at contains an abra-
sive substance or is ac
idic or alkaline. Doing
so could cause the coating on the wheels to peel or become disc
olored or stained.
Do not directly apply
hot water using a steam
cleaner or by any other means. Contact with seawater or road salt used for de-icing can cause corro
sion. Rinse off such
