Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle
before waxing. Use good quality liq-
uid or paste wax, and follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions. Wax all metal
trim to protect it and to maintain its
luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materi-
als with a spot remover will usually
strip the wax from the finish. Be sure
to re-wax these areas even if the rest
of the vehicle does not yet need wax-
ing.

WARNING
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 forward
speed.
WARNING- Water Washing in Engine
Compartment
Water washing in the engine
compartment may cause failure
of electrical circuits. Systems
of your vehicle could fail when
you need them. Wash your
engine compartment carefully.
Check your vehicle’s features
before driving again.
✽ ✽
NOTICE Wiping dust or dirt off the body
with a dry cloth will scratch the
finish.
 Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing high alkaline or caus-
tic agents on chrome-plated or
anodized aluminum parts. This
may result in damage to the pro-
tective coating and cause discol-
oration or paint deterioration.
