Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly
and frequently at least once a month with
lukewarm or cold water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to the
removal of any accumulation of salt, dirt,
mud, and other foreign materials. Make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors and rocker panels are kept clear
and clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution, and similar deposits
may damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. Use a mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces.
After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.
High pressure water may damage front
and rear cameras, sensors, vehicle trim,
and boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors.
After washing the vehicle, dry the brakes
by applying them lightly while
maintaining a slow forward speed.
• Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents, or hot water, and do not
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or
when the body of the vehicle is warm.
• To prevent damage to the plastic parts,
do not clean with chemical solvents or
strong detergents.
2C_VehicleWashCaution
• Water washing in the engine
compartment including high pressure
water washing may cause the failure of
electrical circuits located in the engine
compartment.
• Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the
vehicle to prevent damage.
