■

Automatic car washes

●

Fold the mirrors back before washing the vehicle.

●

Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and

harm your vehicle’s paint.

●

Before entering an automatic car wash, check that the fuel filler door is closed.

■

High pressure washers

Do not allow the nozzles of the washers to come within close proximity of the win-

dows and fuel filler door.

■

Aluminum wheels

●

Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard

brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical cleaners.

Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.

●

Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after driving

for long distance in the hot weather.

●

Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.

■

Bumpers and side moldings

Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

CAUTION

■

Caution about the exhaust pipe

Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.

When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has cooled suffi-

ciently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
