APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning andcaution statements that appear on thelabel.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To help protect your vehicle’s finish from
rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughlyand frequently at least once a month with
lukewarm or cold water.
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 keptclear and clean.
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. After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
WARNING -
Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes whilst driving slowly to see
if they have been affected by water.
If braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly whilst maintaining a slow
forward speed.
CAUTION
 Water washing in the engine com- partment including high pressurewater washing may cause the fail- ure of electrical circuits located inthe engine compartment.
 Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electri-cal/electronic components inside the vehicle as this may damage
them.
OJB037800
CAUTION
 Do not use strong soap, chemical detergents or hot water, and donot wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or when the body of thevehicle is warm.
 Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressurewater, water may leak through the windows and wet the interior.
 To prevent damage to the plastic parts and lamps, do not clean
with chemical solvents or strongdetergents.

Maintenance
Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect
it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials
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 waxing.Finish damage repair
Deep scratches or stone chips in the
painted surface must be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust
and may develop into a major repair
expense.
✽✽NOTICE
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
any metal repair or replacement, be sure
the body shop applies anti-corrosion
materials to the parts repaired or
replaced.
Bright-metal maintenance
 To remove road tar and insects, use a tar remover, not a scraper or other
sharp object.
 To protect the surfaces of bright-metal parts from corrosion, apply a coating of
wax or chrome preservative and rub to
a high luster.
 During winter weather or in coastal areas, cover the bright metal parts with
a heavier coating of wax or preserva-
tive. If necessary, coat the parts with
non-corrosive petroleum jelly or other
protective compound.
CAUTION
 Wiping dust or dirt off the body
with a dry cloth will scratch thefinish.
 Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergentscontaining highly alkaline or
caustic agents on chrome-platedor anodized aluminum parts. This may result in damage to the pro-tective coating and cause discol-
oration or paint deterioration.

Underbody maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal and dust control may col-
lect on the underbody. If these materials
are not removed, accelerated rusting can
occur on the underbody parts such as
the fuel lines, frame, floor pan and
exhaust system, even though they have
been treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and wheel openings with lukewarm or
cold water once a month, after off-road
driving and at the end of each winter. Payspecial attention to these areas because
it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It
will do more harm than good to wet down
the road grime without removing it. The
lower edges of the doors, rocker panels,
and frame members have drain holes
that should not clog with dirt; trapped
water in these areas can cause rusting.
Aluminum or chrome wheel mainte-
nance
The aluminum or chrome wheels are
coated with a clear protective finish.
 Do not use any abrasive cleaner, pol- ishing compound, solvent, or wire
brushes on aluminum or chrome
wheels. They may scratch or damagethe finish.
 Clean the wheel when it has cooled.
 Use only a mild soap or neutral deter- gent, and rinse thoroughly with water.
Also, be sure to clean the wheels after
driving on salted roads. This helps pre-
vent corrosion.
 Avoid washing the wheels with high- speed car wash brushes.
 Do not use any alkaline or acid deter- gent. It may damage and corrode the
aluminum or chrome wheels coated
with a clear protective finish.
WARNING
After washing the vehicle, test the
brakes whilst driving slowly to see
if they have been affected by water.
If braking performance is impaired,
dry the brakes by applying them
lightly whilst maintaining a slow
forward speed.
