Cleaning Exterior Lamps/
Lenses, Emblems, Decals,
and Stripes
Use only lukewarm or cold
water, a soft cloth, and a car
washing soap to clean exterior
lamps, lenses, emblems,
decals, and stripes. Follow
instructions under "Washing
the Vehicle" previously in this
section.
Lamp covers are made of
plastic, and some have a UV
protective coating. Do not
clean or wipe them when dry.
Do not use any of the
following on lamp covers:
.Abrasive or caustic agents.
.Washer fluids and other
cleaning agents in higher
concentrations than
suggested by the
manufacturer.
.Solvents, alcohols, fuels,
or other harsh cleaners.
.Ice scrapers or other hard
items.

caps or covers while the
lamps are illuminated, due to
excessive heat generated.

properly can cause damage
to the lamp cover that would
not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.

non-uniform finish. Clean low

of debris, snow and ice. If the
check engine light is activated,
please check to see if the
shutter system is clear of
debris, snow or ice.
Windshield and Wiper
Blades
Clean the outside of the
windshield with glass cleaner.
Clean rubber blades using a
lint-free cloth or paper towel
soaked with windshield
washer fluid or a mild
detergent. Wash the
windshield thoroughly when
cleaning the blades. Bugs,
road grime, sap, and a buildup
of vehicle wash/wax
treatments may cause wiper
streaking.
Replace the wiper blades if
they are worn or damaged.
Damage can be caused by
extreme dusty conditions,
sand, salt, heat, sun, snow,
and ice.
Weatherstrips
Apply weatherstrip lubricant
on weatherstrips to make
them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak.
Lubricate weatherstrips at
least once a year. Hot, dry
climates may require more
frequent application. Black
marks from rubber material on
painted surfaces can be
removed by rubbing with a
clean cloth. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants0458.
Tires
Use a stiff brush with tire
cleaner to clean the tires.
Caution
Using petroleum-based tire
dressing products on the
vehicle may damage the
paint finish and/or tires.
When applying a tire
dressing, always wipe off
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
any overspray from all
painted surfaces on the
vehicle.
Wheels and Wheel Trim
Use a soft, clean cloth with
mild soap and water to clean
the wheels. After rinsing
thoroughly with clean water,
dry with a soft, clean towel.
A wax may then be applied.
Caution
Chrome wheels and chrome
wheel trim may be damaged
if the vehicle is not washed
after driving on roads that
have been sprayed with
magnesium chloride or
calcium chloride. These are
used on roads for conditions
such as dust and ice. Always
wash the chrome with soap
and water after exposure.
