Keep paint and trim in good condition
Scratches or chips in the finish should be
covered with "touch-up" paint as soon as
possible to reduce the possibility of cor-
rosion. If bare metal is showing through,
the attention of a qualified body and paint
shop is recommended.
Bird droppings : Bird droppings are high-
ly corrosive and may damage painted
surfaces in just a few hours. Always
remove bird droppings as soon as possi-
ble.
Don't neglect the interior
Moisture can collect under the floor mats
and carpeting and cause corrosion.
Check under the mats periodically to be
sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular
care if you carry fertilizers, cleaning
materials or chemicals in the car.
These should be carried only in proper
containers and any spills or leaks should
be cleaned up, flushed with clean water
and thoroughly dried.Interior care
Interior general precautions
Prevent chemicals such as perfume, cos-
metic oil, sun cream, hand cleaner, and
air freshener from contacting the interior
parts because they may cause damage
or discoloration. If they do contact the
interior parts, wipe them off immediately.
Natural leather seat cover using
precautions (If equipped)
Natural leather has visible pores, scars
or blood vessels, etc. Pressure marks or
wrinkles may be made when used.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat
may cause discoloration. These things
occur due to the natural characteristics of
cowhides. If the leather is exposed to rain
or gets wet, remove water with a dry
cloth and dry the leather in the shade to
minimize damage.
Make sure to keep sharp objects away
from the leather as these can create
scratches on the surface. For light-col-
ored leather, be careful of spots or color
transfer, such as from jeans.
CAUTION- Electrical components
Never allow water or other liquids to
come in contact with electrical/elec-tronic components inside the vehi-cle as this may damage them.
CAUTION - Leather
When cleaning leather products (steering wheel, seats etc.), useneutral detergents or low alcohol content solutions. If you use highalcohol content solutions or acid/alkaline detergents, the colorof the leather may fade or the sur-face may get stripped off.
