6-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior
●Working  from  top  to  bottom,  liberally  apply  water  to  the  vehicl e
body,  wheel  wells  and  underside  of  the  vehicle  to  remove  any  di rt
and dust.
● Wash  the  vehicle  body  using  a  sponge  or  soft  cloth,  such  as  a
chamois.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughl y
with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the wate rproof coating deteriorates.
If  water  does  not  bead  on  a  clean  surface,  apply  wax  when  the  vehicle
body is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Fold the mirrors before washing the vehicle. Start washing from  the front of
the vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.
● Brushes  used  in  automatic  car  washes  may  scratch  the  vehicle  su rface,
parts (wheel, etc.) and harm your vehicle’s paint.
● Rear  spoiler  may  not  be  washable  in  some  automatic  car  washes.  There
may also be an increased risk of damage to vehicle.
■ High pressure car washes
As  water  may  enter  the  cabin,  do  not  bring  the  nozzle  tip  near  the  gaps
around the doors or perimeter of the windows, or spray these ar eas continu-
ously.
