GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to
become coated with a film after the vehicle is parked
in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will
easily remove this film.
CLEANING SIDE AND REAR-VIEW
CAMERA’S (where fitted)
Clean the transparent camera cover regularly. If dirt,
rain or snow attaches to the cover, the monitor may
not display objects clearly.
CAUTION
•
Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to clean
the transparent camera cover. This will cause
discoloration. To clean the cover, first use a
cloth dampened with diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.
•
Do not use body wax on the transparent cam-
era cover.
•
When washing the vehicle with a high pres-
sure water spray, make sure not to spray it
around the transparent camera cover. Other-
wise, water may enter the camera unit caus-
ing water condensation on the lens and it may
result in a malfunction or an electric shock.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in the winter, it is
necessary to clean the vehicle’s underbody regu-
larly in order to prevent dirt and salt from building up
and causing the acceleration of corrosion on the
underbody and suspension.
Before the winter and again in the spring, the under-
seal must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
WHEELS
•
Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to
maintain their appearance.
•
Clean the inner side of the wheels when the
wheel is changed or the underside of the vehicle
is washed.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the
wheels.
•
Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corro-
sion. This may cause loss of pressure or damage
the tyre bead.
•
NISSAN recommends that the road wheels be
waxed to protect against road salt in areas where
it is used during winter.
ALUMINIUM ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge damp-
ened in a mild solution, especially during winter in
areas where road salt is used.
The salt residue from road salt could discolor the
wheels if it is not washed off regularly.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid staining or
discoloring the wheels:
•
Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or
alkali contents to clean the wheels.
•
Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels
when they are hot. The wheel temperature
should be the same as ambient temperature.
•
Rinse the wheel to completely remove the
cleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner is
applied.
CHROME PARTS
Clean all chrome parts regularly with a nonabrasive
chrome polish to maintain the finish.
