Vehicle Care 365
Cleaning Underhood
Components
Caution
Do not power wash any
component under the hood
that has this
esymbol.
This could cause damage
that would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Solvents or aggressive
cleaners may harm underhood
components. Avoid using
these chemicals. Water is
recommended.
A pressure washer may be
used, but use care when
handling. The following criteria
must be followed:
.Water pressure must be
kept below 14,000 KPa
(2,000 PSI).
.Water temperature must be
below 80 °C (180 °F).
.Spray nozzle with a
40 degree wide angle spray
pattern or wider must
be used.
.Nozzle must be kept at least
30 cm (1 ft) away from all
surfaces.
Finish Care
Application of aftermarket
clearcoat sealant/wax
materials is not recommended.
If painted surfaces are
damaged, see your dealer to
have the damage assessed
and repaired. Foreign
materials such as calcium
chloride and other salts, ice
melting agents, road oil and
tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
chemicals from industrial
chimneys, etc., can damage
the vehicle's finish if they
remain on painted surfaces.
Wash the vehicle as soon as
possible. If necessary, use
non-abrasive cleaners that are
marked safe for painted
surfaces to remove foreign
matter. Occasional hand waxing or
mild polishing should be done
to remove residue from the
paint finish. See your dealer
for approved cleaning
products.
Do not apply waxes or
polishes to uncoated plastic,
vinyl, rubber, decals, simulated
wood, or flat paint as damage
can occur.
Caution
Machine compounding or
aggressive polishing on a
basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish may damage it. Use
only non-abrasive waxes and
polishes that are made for a
basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish on the vehicle.
To keep the paint finish
looking new, keep the vehicle
garaged or covered whenever
possible.

Vehicle Care 369
Original manufacturer
replacement parts will provide
the corrosion protection while
maintaining the vehicle
warranty.
Finish Damage
Quickly repair minor chips and
scratches with touch-up
materials available from your
dealer to avoid corrosion.
Larger areas of finish damage
can be corrected in your
dealer's body and paint shop.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and attack painted
vehicle surfaces causing
blotchy, ring-shaped
discolorations, and small,
irregular dark spots etched
into the paint surface. See
“Finish Care”previously in this
section.
Interior Care
To prevent dirt particle
abrasions, regularly clean the
vehicle's interior. Before using cleaners, read and follow all
safety instructions on the
label. While cleaning the
interior, open the doors and
windows to get proper
ventilation. Newspapers or
dark garments can transfer
color to the vehicle’s interior.
Caution
Immediately remove
cleaners, hand lotions,
sunscreen, and insect
repellent from all interior
surfaces or permanent
damage may result.
Caution
Use cleaners specifically
designed for the surfaces
being cleaned to prevent
permanent damage to the
vehicle. Apply all cleaners
directly to a cleaning cloth.
Do not spray cleaners on
any switches or controls.
When using liquid soap
cleaners, follow the directions
on the specific cleaner or soap
solution for dilution
instructions.
Caution
To prevent damage:
.Never use a razor or any
other sharp object to
remove soil from any
interior surface
.Never use a brush with
stiff bristles.
.Never rub any surface
aggressively or with too
much pressure.
.Do not get any exposed
electrical components wet.
.Do not use laundry
detergents or dishwashing
soaps with degreasers. Do
not use solutions that
contain strong or
caustic soap.
