oughly with  lukewarm or  cold water.  Do
not allow soap to dry  on the finish.
Exterior general caution
It  is  very  important  to  follow  the  label
directions   when   using   any   chemical
cleaner or  polish. Read  all warning  and
caution  statements  that  appear  on the
label.

Do not use strong soap, chemical
detergents  or  hot  water, and  do
not  wash   the  vehicle   in  direct

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.
•  Be careful when washing the side
windows of your vehicle.
Especially,   with    high-pressure
water, water may leak through the
windows and wet the interior.
OJB037800
CAUTION
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.
Water washing in the engine com-
partment including high pressure
water washing may cause the fail-
ure of electrical circuits located in
the engine compartment.
•  To prevent damage to the plastic
parts, do not clean with chemical
solvents or strong detergents.
Never allow water or other liquids
to  come  in  contact  with  electri-
cal/electronic components inside
the  vehicle  as  this  may  damage
them.
WARNING - Wet brakes
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.
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.
