Exterior Care
Dust off the vehicle body after you drive.
Regularly inspect your vehicle for scratches on painted surfaces. A scratch on a
painted surface can result in body rust. If you find a scratch, promptly repair it.
Wash the vehicle regularly. Wash more frequently when driving in the following
conditions:
•
If driving on roads with road salt.
•
If driving in coastal areas.
•
If tar, soot, bird droppings, insects, or tree sap are stuck to painted surfaces.
Use a water and mild detergent solution, and
a soft brush or cloth to clean the inside of the
trunk.
To drain water from the trunk, remove the
drain plug by turning it counter-clockwise.
u
When you are finished washing the
trunk, dry it with a soft cloth, and
reinstall the drain plug.
