Maintenance and care
■ Automatic car washes
● Before washing the vehicle:
• Fold the mirrors
• Remove the antenna
• Turn off the power back door (if equipped)
Start washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to re-install the
antenna and 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.
● Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is
closed properly.
■ When using a car wash (vehicles with a smart key system)
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a position 6
ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed.
(Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
