Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect  your vehicle’s finish from
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly
and frequently at least once a month with
lukewarm or cold water.
If you  use your  vehicle for off-road  driv-
ing,  you should  wash  it  after  each off-
road  trip.  Pay  special  attention   to  the
removal of any accumulation of salt,  dirt,
mud, and  other  foreign materials.  Make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges of
the  doors  and  rocker  panels  are   kept
clear and clean.
WARNING - Wet brakes
OJB037800
After washing  the  vehicle, test  the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected  by water. If
braking  performance   is  impaired,
dry  the  brakes  by   applying  them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.
NOTICE
Water washing in the engine compart-
ment  including  high  pressure  water
washing may cause the failure of elec-
trical  circuits  located   in  the  engine
compartment.
Never  allow  water   or  other  liquids
come  in  contact  with  electrical/elec-
tronic  components inside  the  vehicle
as this may damage them.
Insects,  tar,   tree  sap,   bird  droppings,
industrial  pollution  and similar  deposits
can  damage your  vehicle’s  finish  if not
removed immediately.
Even  prompt  washing  with  plain  water
may  not   completely  remove  all   these
deposits. A  mild  soap,  safe  for use  on
painted surfaces, may be used.
