Maintenance and care
Cleaning the instrument panel
Any cleaner or polish that
increases the gloss of the upper
portion of the instrument panel
should be avoided. The dull finish
in this area is to help protect the
driver from windshield reflection.
Cleaning the exterior lamps
Do not use dry paper towels,
chemical solvents, or abrasive
cleaners to clean the lamps; these
products may cause scratches or
crack the lamps.
Cleaning the engine
A clean engine is more efficient
than a dirty one because a buildup
of grease and dirt acts as an
insulator and keeps the engine
warmer than normal. Follow these
guidelines to clean your engine:
•
Take care when using a power
washer to clean the engine. The
high pressure fluid could
penetrate sealed parts and
cause damage.
•
•
•
In order to avoid cracking the
engine block or fuel injection
pump, do not spray these
components with cold water.
The alternator and air intake
must be covered to prevent
water damage when cleaning the
engine.
Never wash or rinse the engine
while it is running; water in a
running engine may cause
internal damage.
