recommendations for cleaning. Rinse well with
water.
The vehicle exterior should be cleaned, waxed
and buffed when water droplets no longer form
on the painted surfaces.

Hot water can damage paint. Keep water cool
or lukewarm.

Make sure cleaning solutions are not harmful
to painted surfaces. Read the manufacturer's
instructions before using.
CAUTION
D
o not spray water jet directly into fresh air
inlet dampers.
To prevent corrosion, remove caked-on dirt and
road salt from the vehicle underbody using a
high pressure water jet. Clean wheel housings,
bumpers, muffler, tailpipe and brackets.
Carry out corrosion prevention cleaning at least
twice a year. Spray underneath of the vehicle
and let soak before cleaning. Let engine and
exhaust system cool down before cleaning.
Tar Or Oil
Remove tar or oil as soon as possible with an
approved automotive tar and oil remover or
turpentine. Thoroughly clean area with car wash
soap and water. Let dry, then wax.
Insects
Remove insect stains as soon as possible with
lukewarm soap and water or insect remover.
Tree Sap
Remove tree sap or bird droppings with
lukewarm soap and water. Do not allow to
harden.
WINDSHIELD
To prevent windshield wiper streaking, keep
silicone sprays away from windshield. Remove
road film and wax build-up from windows with
lukewarm soap and water or with an alcohol-
based cleaning agent. If a chamois is used to dry
and polish glass, use it exclusively for that
purpose.
Wiper Blades
To avoid tearing frozen wiper blades, loosen
them before removing. Remove and clean wiper
blades periodically with an alcohol-based
cleaning solution. Clean wiper blades using a
sponge or soft cloth.
FLUID LEVEL VERIFICATION
Periodic inspection of oil and fluid levels is the
most economical and easiest way to help your
vehicle perform at its best. Rigorous oil level
inspection and replacement will greatly help
minimize expensive and unscheduled repairs.
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check engine oil level when engine is still warm
and with vehicle parked on a level surface. Shut
OFF engine and wait at least 10 minutes for oil
to drain into oil pan before checking. Check
engine oil level daily or before each trip. Add oil
as required. Do not overfill. Remove dipstick,
wipe clean and fully reinsert to ensure an
accurate reading. Remove dipstick and check
engine oil level.
Do not let the oil level fall below the marking on
the dipstick. Do not overfill so the level is above
the upper marking on the dipstick. Add oil
through the oil filler pipe as required in order to
maintain level within the safe range
