The vehicle was neither designed nor intended
to be towed with any of its wheels on the
ground. If your vehicle is disabled and needs to
be towed, see Transporting a Disabled Vehicle 0
303.
Appearance Care
Exterior Care
Locks
Locks are lubricated at the factory. Use a de-
icing agent only when absolutely necessary,
and have the locks greased after using. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 316.
Washing the Vehicle
To preserve the vehicle's finish, wash it often
and out of direct sunlight.
If using an automatic car wash, follow the car
wash instructions. The windshield wiper and
rear window wiper, if equipped, must be off.
Remove any accessories that may be damaged
or interfere with the car wash equipment.
Rinse the vehicle well, before washing and after,
to remove all cleaning agents completely. If
they are allowed to dry on the surface, they
could stain.
Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or an
all-cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and
water spotting.
Cleaning Underhood Components
Solvents or aggressive cleaners may harm
underhood components. Avoid using these
chemicals. Water is recommended.
A pressure washer may be used, but use care
when handling. The following criteria must be
followed:
• Water pressure must be kept below
14,000KPa (2,000PSI).
• Water temperature must be below 80°C
(180°F).
Notice
Do not use petroleum-based, acidic, or
abrasive cleaning agents as they can damage
the vehicle's paint, metal, or plastic parts. If
damage occurs, it would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Approved cleaning
products can be obtained from your dealer.
Follow all manufacturer directions regarding
correct product usage, necessary safety
precautions, and appropriate disposal of any
vehicle care product.
Notice
Avoid using high-pressure washes closer
than 30 cm (12 in) to the surface of the
vehicle. Use of power washers exceeding 8
274 kPa (1,200 psi) can result in damage or
removal of paint and decals.
Notice
Do not power wash any component under
the hood that has this e symbol.
This could cause damage that would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
