4-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior
n Automatic car washes
l Fold the mirrors and remove the detachable pole antenna before wash-
ing the vehicle. Start washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to
re-install the detachable pole antenna and extend the mirrors before driv-
ing.
l Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface
and harm your vehicle’s paint.
l In certain automatic car washes, the roof antenna (if equipped) may
interfere with machine operation. This may prevent the vehicle from
being cleaned properly or result in damage to the roof antenna.
n High pressure car washes
Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of
the windows. Before entering an automatic car wash, check that the fuel filler
door on your vehicle is closed properly.
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime
condition.
l Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any
dirt and dust.
Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
l For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
l Wipe away any water.
l Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.
