Washing the Vehicle

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.
Caution
Avoid using high-pressure washers closer
than 30 cm (12 in) to the surface of the
vehicle. Use of power washers exceeding

removal of paint and decals.

o
ut of direct sunlight.

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. Dried on cleaning agents may stain
the finish.
Dry the finish with asoft, clean chamois or an
all-cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and
water spotting.
