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.
•
Make sure to follow the instructions indicated on the automated car wash.
•
Fold in the door mirrors.
•
Turn off the automatic intermittent wipers
*
.
•
Keep sufficient distance between the cleaning nozzle and the vehicle body.
•
Take particular care around the windows. Standing too close may cause water to
enter the vehicle interior.
•
Do not spray high pressure water directly into the engine compartment. Instead,
use low pressure water and a mild detergent.
