warning and caution statements
that appear on the label.

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.

Appearance care

Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar
deposits can damage your vehicle's
finish if not removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain
water may not completely remove
all these deposits. A mild soap, safe
for use on painted surfaces, may be
used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle
thoroughly with lukewarm or cold
water. Do not allow soap to dry on
the finish.
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.

CAUTION

䳜 Do not use strong soap, chemical

detergents or hot water, and do
not wash the vehicle in direct sun-
light or when the body of the
vehicle is warm.

䳜 Be careful when washing the side

windows of your vehicle, espe-
cially with high-pressure water.
Water may leak through the win-
dows and wet the interior.

䳜 To prevent damage to the plastic

parts and lamps, do not clean with
chemical solvents or strong
detergents.

High-pressure washing

When using high-pressure washers,
make sure to maintain sufficient
distance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive
pressure can lead to component
damage or water penetration.
Do not spray the camera, sensors or
its surrounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock applied
from high pressure water may
cause the device to not operate
normally.
Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be dam-
aged if they come into contact with
high pressure water.

WARNING

After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.

CAUTION

Wetting engine compartment

䳜 Water washing in the engine com-

partment including high pressure
water washing may cause the
failure of electrical circuits located
in the engine compartment.

䳜 Never allow water or other liquids

to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the
vehicle as this may damage them.

䳜 After the vehicle has been

washed, brake carefully while
paying attention to the traffic
conditions until the braking effect
has been fully restored.

Waxing

Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle
before waxing. Use a good quality
liquid or paste wax, and follow the
manufacturer's instructions. Wax all
metal trim to protect it and to
maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar mate-
rials with a spot remover will usually
strip the wax from the finish. Be
sure to re-wax these areas even if
the rest of the vehicle does not yet
need waxing.
Be careful not to touch the lens
when waxing the lamps.

CAUTION

Drying vehicle
䳜 Wiping dust or dirt off the body

with a dry cloth will scratch the
finish.

䳜 Do not use steel wool, abrasive

cleaners, acid detergents or
strong detergents containing high
alkaline or caustic agents on
chrome-plated or anodized alumi-
num parts. This may result in
damage to the protective coating
and cause discoloration or paint
deterioration.

Appearance care

Finish damage repair

Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly
rust and may develop into a major
repair expense.

NOTICE

If your vehicle is damaged and
requires any metal repair or
replacement, be sure the body shop
applies anti-corrosion materials to
the parts repaired or replaced.

Bright-metal maintenance

To remove road tar and insects, use
a tar remover, not a scraper or
other sharp object.

To protect the surfaces of bright
metal parts from corrosion, apply a
coating of wax or chrome preserva-
tive and rub to a high luster.

During winter weather or in coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts
with a heavier coating of wax or
preservative. If necessary, coat the
parts with non-corrosive petroleum
jelly or other protective compound.

Underbody maintenance

Road salt and other corrosive chem-
icals are used in cold weather states
to melt snow and prevent ice accu-
mulation. If these chemicals are not
regularly removed, they will corrode
the vehicle underbody and, over
time, damage many parts: the fuel
lines, the fuel tank retention sys-
tem, the vehicle's suspension, the
exhaust system, and even the body
frame.
䳜 Wash the undercarriage of your

vehicle regularly during the winter
and whenever your vehicle has
been exposed to such salts or
chemicals.

䳜 Do a thorough washing of the

undercarriage at the end of the
winter.

䳜 Use professional service techni-

cians or governmental inspection
stations to annually inspect for
corrosion.

䳜 Immediately seek an inspection of

your vehicle if you become visu-
ally aware of corrosion flaking or
scaling or if you become aware of
a change in vehicle performance,
such as soft or spongy brakes,
fluids leaking, impairment of
directional control, suspension
noises or rattling metal straps.

Aluminum wheel maintenance

The aluminum wheels are coated
with a clear protective finish.
䳜 Do not use any abrasive cleaner,

polishing compound, solvent, or
wire brushes on aluminum
wheels. They may scratch or
damage the finish.

䳜 Clean the wheel when it has

cooled.

䳜 Use only a mild soap or neutral

detergent, and rinse thoroughly
with water. Also, be sure to clean
the wheels after driving on salted
roads. This helps prevent corro-
sion.

䳜 Avoid washing the wheels with

high speed vehicle wash brushes.

䳜 Do not use any alkaline or acid

detergents It may damage and
corrode the aluminum wheels
coated with a clear protective fin-
ish.

Corrosion protection

Protecting your vehicle from corro-
sion

By using the most advanced design
and construction practices to com-
bat corrosion, we produce vehicles
of the highest quality. However, this
is only part of the job. To achieve
the long-term corrosion resistance
your vehicle can deliver, the owner's
cooperation and assistance is also
required.

Common causes of corrosion

The most common causes of corro-
sion on your vehicle are:
䳜 Road salt, dirt and moisture that

is allowed to accumulate under-
neath the vehicle.

䳜 Removal of paint or protective

coatings by stones, gravel, abra-
sion or minor scrapes and dents
which leave unprotected metal
exposed to corrosion.

High-corrosion areas

If you live in an area where your
vehicle is regularly exposed to cor-
rosive materials, corrosion protec-
tion is particularly important. Some
of the common causes of acceler-
ated corrosion are road salts, dust
control chemicals, ocean air and
industrial pollution.

Moisture breeds corrosion

Moisture creates the conditions in
which corrosion is most likely to
occur. For example, corrosion is
accelerated by high humidity, par-
ticularly when temperatures are
just above freezing. In such condi-
tions, the corrosive material is kept
in contact with the vehicle's surface
by moisture that evaporates slowly.
Mud is particularly corrosive
because it dries slowly and holds
moisture in contact with the vehicle.
Although the mud appears to be
dry, it can still retain the moisture
and promote corrosion.

Maintenance

76

Appearance care

High temperatures can also acceler-
ate corrosion of parts that are not
properly ventilated so the moisture
can be dispersed. For all these rea-
sons, it is particularly important to
keep your vehicle clean and free of
mud or accumulations of other
materials. This applies not only to
the visible surfaces but particularly
to the underside of the vehicle.

To help prevent corrosion

You can help prevent corrosion from
beginning by observing the follow-
ing:

Keep your vehicle clean

The best way to prevent corrosion is
to keep your vehicle clean and free
of corrosive materials. Attention to
the underside of the vehicle is par-
ticularly important.

If you live in a high-corrosion area 䳎
where road salts are used, near the
ocean, areas with industrial pollu-
tion, acid rain, etc.䳎, you should
take extra care to prevent corrosion.
In winter, hose off the underside of
your vehicle at least once a month
and be sure to clean the underside
thoroughly when winter is over.

When cleaning underneath the vehi-
cle, give particular attention to the
components under the fenders and
other areas that are hidden from
view. Do a thorough job; just damp-
ening the accumulated mud rather

than washing it away will accelerate
corrosion rather than prevent it.
Water under high pressure and
steam are particularly effective in
removing accumulated mud and
corrosive materials.

When cleaning lower door panels,
rocker panels and frame members,
be sure that drain holes are kept
open so that moisture can escape
and not be trapped inside to accel-
erate corrosion.

Keep your garage dry

Don't park your vehicle in a damp,
poorly ventilated garage. This cre-
ates a favorable environment for
corrosion. This is particularly true if
you wash your vehicle in the garage
or drive it into the garage when it is
still wet or covered with snow, ice or
mud. Even a heated garage can con-
tribute to corrosion unless it is well
ventilated so moisture is dispersed.

Keep paint and trim in good condi

-

tion

Scratches or chips in the finish
should be covered with "touch-up"
paint as soon as possible to reduce
the possibility of corrosion. If bare
metal is showing through, the
attention of a qualified body and
paint shop is recommended.

Bird droppings: Bird droppings are
highly corrosive and may damage

Maintenance

Appearance care

painted surfaces in just a few hours.
Always remove bird droppings as
soon as possible.

Don't neglect the interior

Moisture can collect under the floor
mats and carpeting and cause cor-
rosion. Check under the mats peri-
odically to be sure the carpeting is
dry. Use particular care if you carry
fertilizers, cleaning materials or
chemicals in the vehicle.

These should be carried only in
proper containers and any spills or
leaks should be cleaned up, flushed
with clean water and thoroughly
dried.

Interior care

Use the information in the following
sections to maintain the interior of
your vehicle.

Interior general precautions

Prevent chemicals such as perfume,
cosmetic oil, sun cream, hand
cleaner, and air freshener from con-
tacting the interior parts because
they may cause damage or discolor-
ation. If they do contact the interior
parts, wipe them off immediately. If
necessary, use a vinyl cleaner, see
product instructions for correct
usage.

CAUTION

Electrical components
Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec-
tronic components inside the vehicle
as this may damage them.

CAUTION

Leather
When cleaning leather products
(steering wheel, seats etc.), use
neutral detergents or low alcohol
content solutions. If you use high
alcohol content solutions or acid/
alkaline detergents, the color of the
leather may fade or the surface
may get stripped off.

Taking care of leather seats

䳜 Vacuum the seat periodically to

remove dust and sand on the
seat. It will prevent abrasion or
damage of the leather and main-
tain its quality.

䳜 Wipe the natural leather seat

cover often with dry or soft cloth.

䳜 Sufficient use of a leather protec-

tive may prevent abrasion of the
cover and helps maintain the
color. Be sure to read the instruc-
tions and consult a specialist
when using leather coating or
protective agents.
