Exterior maintenance and care
Washing the vehicle
WARNING
● When washing the vehicle, do not apply water to the inside of the engine compart-
ment.
If water contacts electrical components, it may cause the vehicle to catch fire.
● Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipes to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the exhaust pipes until they have
cooled sufficiently. Touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
NOTICE
■
To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion of the body and components (wheels,
etc.)
● Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
•
After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface
•
If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on the paint surface

or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud

● To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place with low
humidity when storing the wheels.
■
To prevent damage to the windshield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away from the windshield, pull the driver side wiper arm
upward first, and repeat for the passenger side. When returning the wipers to their
original position, do so from the passenger side first.
Perform cleaning in a manner appropriate to each component and its material.

Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle body, wheel
wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.
●
Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a chamois.

For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughly with water.
