Aluminium is susceptible to deterioration caused by salt and other road
contaminants. Use a sponge and mild detergent to wipe away promptly.
Be careful not to use harsh chemicals (including some commercial wheel cleaners) or
a stiff brush. They can damage the clear coat of the aluminium alloy wheels that
helps keep the aluminium from corroding and tarnishing.
Your vehicle’s door mirror surface is coated with a hydrophilic film. Follow the next
steps when the mirrors become less hydrophilic.
1. Rinse the door mirrors with water and remove dirt.
2. Wipe the mirrors with a clean damp cloth.
u If you cannot remove dirt, use the genuine window cleaner, or neutral
household detergent, and rinse with enough water.
3. Expose the mirrors to the sun for five to nine hours.
The inside lenses of exterior lights (headlights, brake lights, etc.) may fog temporarily
if you have driven in the rain, or after the vehicle has been run through a car wash.
Dew condensation also may build up inside the lenses when there is a significant
enough difference between the ambient and inside lens temperatures (similar to
vehicle windows fogging up in rainy conditions). These conditions are natural
processes, not structural design problems in the exterior lights.
Lens design characteristics may result in moisture developing on the light lens frame
surfaces. This also is not a malfunction.
However, if you see large amounts of water accumulation, or large water drops
building up inside the lenses, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.
