 Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any
dirt and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.
 Automatic car washes
 Fold the mirrors before washing the vehicle. Start washing from the front of
the vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.
 Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
 High pressure car washes
 Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of
the windows and the air suspension unit.
 Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is
closed properly.
