wash it often and out of direct
sunlight.
Caution

Avoid using high-pressure
washes closer than 30 cm
(12 in) to the surface of the
vehicle. Use of power
washers exceeding
8 274 kPa (1,200 psi) can
result in damage or removal

Caution
Automatic car washes can
cause damage to the
vehicle, wheels, ground
effects, and convertible top
(if equipped).

washes due to lack of
clearance for the
undercarriage, wide rear
tires, and wheels.
Caution

paint finish, do not use an
automatic car wash
equipped with brushes or
scrubbers. Only use
touchless automatic car
washes.
If using an automatic car wash,
follow the car wash
instructions. The windshield
wiper and rear window wiper,
if equipped, must be off.

Using wax on low gloss black
finish stripes can increase
the gloss level and create a
non-uniform finish. Clean low

Clear debris from the air
intakes between the hood and
windshield when washing the
vehicle.
Shutter System
The vehicle may have a
shutter system designed to
