Washing
Exterior general caution
Do not use strong soap, chem-
ical  detergents  or  hot  water,
and do not wash the vehicle in
direct  sunlight   or  when   the
body of the vehicle is warm.
Be  careful when  washing the
side windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressure
water, water may leak through
the windows and wet  the inte-
rior.
•  To  prevent    damage   to   the
plastic  parts   and  lamps,  do
not  clean  with  chemical  sol-
vents or strong detergents.
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
driving, 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.
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.
High-pressure washing
When  using  high-pressure  wash-
ers,  make  sure  to maintain  suffi-
cient  distance   from   the  vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or  excessive
pressure  can  lead  to  component
damage or water penetration.
Do not  spray the camera,  sensors
or its surrounding area directly with
a  high   pressure   washer.  Shock
applied  from high  pressure  water
may cause the  device to not oper-
ate normally.
Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots  (rubber or  plastic  covers)or
connectors  as they  may  be dam-
aged if they come into contact with
high pressure water.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial
pollution
and
similar
deposits can  damage your  vehicle’s
finish if not removed immediately.
WARNING - Wet brakes
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.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with  lukewarm or cold  water.
Do not  allow soap to  dry on the  fin-
ish.
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 main-
taining a slow forward speed.
