Maintenance and care
■ Application of coatings to the vehicle body
Do not apply any kind of coating to the vehicle body as doing so may damage the
paint or reduce its durability.
■ To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and components (alu-
minum wheels etc.)
Observe the following precautions:
● Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on the paint
surface
• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron
powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint surface
● If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
● To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place with
low humidity when storing the wheels.
For the Matte Black, pay attention to the following as well:
● If anything is spilled on a painted surface, wipe it off as soon as possible.
If spilled washer fluid or alkaline fluids are left as is, the paint in the affected area
may deteriorate, causing blemishing.
● Do not wax or apply coating to the vehicle.
Doing so may cause a change in the body surface's texture or irregularities in the
paint.
