mild car washing soap. Rinse the ve-
hicle completely with clean water.
Avoid using abrasive compounds and
power buffing as these may diminish
the gloss or thin out the paint finish.
CAUTION!
Observe the following guidelines when
washing your vehicle:
•
Do not use abrasive or strong clean-
ing materials such as steel wool or
scouring powder, which will scratch
metal and painted surfaces.
•
After washing, drive the vehicle and
depress the brake pedal gently sev-
eral times to dry the brake rotor.
Special Care
• If you drive on dirt roads, wash off the
undercarriage at least once a month.
• If you detect any stone chips or
scratches in the paint, touch them up
immediately.
• If your vehicle is damaged due to an
accident or similar cause, which de-
stroys the paint and protective coat-
ing, have your vehicle repaired as
soon as possible.
• If regularly driving on gravel roads,
consider installing mud/stone guards
on the vehicle.
Wheel and Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially
aluminum and chrome-plated wheels,
should be cleaned regularly with a
mild soap and water to prevent corro-
sion. Do not use oven cleaner. Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic
solutions or harsh brushes that may
damage the wheels’ protective finish.
Cleaning Cloth
In order to achieve the best results, al-
ways use a soft cleaning cloth for
proper vehicle care.
Cleaning Leather Upholstery
Your leather upholstery can be best
preserved by regular cleaning with a
damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt
can act as an abrasive and damage the
leather upholstery and should be re-
moved promptly with a damp cloth.
Care should be taken to avoid soaking
your leather upholstery with any liq-
uid.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for clean-
ing purposes. Many are potentially
flammable, and if used in closed ar-
eas they may cause respiratory harm.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights
that are lighter and less susceptible to
stone breakage than glass headlights.
Do not use abrasive cleaning compo-
nents, solvents, steel wool or other ag-
gressive material to clean the lenses.
Cleaning Rear Window
The rear window can be cleaned with a
damp, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
