Cleaning the outside of your vehicle

Vehicle care and maintenance 9-41

Salt and other chemicals used on winter roads

in some geographical areas can have a detri-

mental effect on the vehicle underbody. You

should flush the underbody with a high pres-

sure hose every time you wash the outside of

your vehicle.

Take special care to remove mud or other

debris which could trap and hold salt and

moisture.

After washing your vehicle, wipe off all

waterdrops from the rubber parts around the

doors to prevent the doors from freezing.

Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, or

when water does not bead up on the paint.

Use a soft cloth to put a small amount of wax

on the painted surfaces. After the wax has

dried, polish with a dry soft cloth.

Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.

You should wax when the painted surfaces

are cool.

CAUTION

 When washing the underside of your vehicle

or the wheels, wear a pair of gloves to pro-

tect your hands.

 If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place

the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position

to deactivate the rain sensor before washing

the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will oper-

ate in the presence of water spray on the

windshield and may get damaged as a result.

 Never spray or splash water on the electrical

parts in the engine compartment. This may

damage them. Be careful also when washing

the underbody to ensure that water does not

enter the engine compartment.

 Avoid automatic car washers that use rotat-

ing brushes. These brushes may scratch the

paint surface and make it dull.

Scratches are more noticeable on darker col-

ored vehicles.

 Some hot water washing equipment uses

high pressure and heat to clean your vehicle.

Because hot water can damage plastics parts

and seep inside your vehicle, make sure you

do the following when using such equip-

ment:

• Keep the washing nozzle at least 28 inches

(70 cm) away from the vehicle body.

• When washing around the door glass, hold

the nozzle at a distance of more than 28

inches (70 cm) and at a right angle to the

glass surface.

 Make sure to do the following when using an

automatic car wash, with help from either

this manual or the car wash operator, to

avoid damaging your vehicle:

• Fold the outside rearview mirrors.

• Remove the antenna.

• Tape or remove the rear wiper arm assem-

bly.

• If your vehicle is equipped with a roof rails,

check with the car wash operator before

using the car wash.

• If your vehicle is equipped with the rain

sensor wipers, place the wiper switch lever

in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain

sensor.

During cold weather

CAUTION

NOTE

 When the door is frozen, opening it by force

may tear off or crack the rubber gasket

installed around the door. Pour warm water

to melt the ice. Be sure to thoroughly wipe

off the water after opening the door. To pre-

vent freezing of the weatherstripping on the

doors, hood, etc., treat with silicone lubri-

cant.

Waxing

CAUTION

 Waxes containing high abrasive compounds

should not be used. These waxes remove rust

and stain effectively from the paintwork, but

are harmful to the finish of the paint, because

they also remove paint/clearcoat.

They are also harmful to other glossy sur-

faces such as the grille, trim, moldings, etc.
