N00945700058
To protect your vehicle’s finish, wash it often and thoroughly. If desired, you may wax your vehicle using a nonabrasive automobile wax.
N00945800033
Industrial pollution, road tar, bird droppings,tree sap, insect remains, sea water and otherforeign matters can damage the finish on your vehicle. Generally, the longer any foreign materialstays on the finish, the worse the damage. Wash your vehicle as soon as possible when- ever the finish gets soiled.
NOTE
 Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and pro- tectants containing silicones or wax. Such products, when applied to the instru- ment panels or other parts, may cause reflec- tions on the windshield and obscure vision.Also, if such products get on the switches of the electrical accessories, it may lead to fail- ure of these accessories.
Upholstery
NOTE
 If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery, draw a suitable defuzzing brush over the surface in one direction.
Genuine leather
(if so equipped)
NOTE
 If genuine leather is wet with water, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow.  The genuine leather surface can be damaged if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiber brush.  Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, or acid or alkaline solvents can discolor the genuine leather surface and should not be used.  Genuine leather can mildew if not kept clean. Clean up any oil stains immediately.
 The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is exposed to direct sunlight for long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible.  When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may deteriorate andstick to the seat.

Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from air, rain, snow, or road sur-faces can damage the paint and body of your vehicle if left on. Frequent washing and waxing is the best wayto protect your vehicle from this damage. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it withwater to remove dust. Next, using plenty ofclean water and a car washing mitt or sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Use a mild car washing soap if necessary.Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a cham- ois or soft cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of thedoors, hood, etc., where dirt is likely to remain.
Salt and other chemicals
used on winter roads
in some geographical areas can have a detri- mental effect on the vehicle underbody. You should flush the underbody with a high pres-sure hose every time you wash the outside of your vehicle. Take special care to remove mud or otherdebris which could trap and hold salt and moisture. After washing your vehicle, wipe off allwaterdrops from the rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
Wa s h i n g
CAUTION When washing the underside of your vehicle or the wheels, wear a pair of gloves to pro-tect your hands. If your vehicle is equipped with the rain sen- sor, place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensorbefore washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will operate in the presence of water spray on the windshield and may get dam-aged as a result.
 Never spray or splash water on the electrical parts in the engine compartment. This may damage them. Be careful also when washing the underbody to ensure that water does not enter the engine compartment. Avoid automatic car washes that use rotating brushes. These brushes may scratch the paintsurface and make it dull. Scratches are more noticeable on darker col- ored vehicles. Some hot water washing equipment uses high pressure and heat
to clean your vehicle.
Because hot water can damage plastic parts and seep inside your vehicle, make sure you do the following when using such equip-ment:• Keep the washing nozzle at least 28 inches(70 cm) away from the vehicle body.• When washing around the door glass, holdthe nozzle at a distance of more than 28 inches (70 cm) and at a right angle to the glass surface.
 Make sure to do the following when using an automatic car wash, with help from eitherthis manual or the car wash operator, to avoid damaging your vehicle:• Fold the outside rearview mirrors.• Close the door windows.• Close the front sunroof (if so equipped)• Tape or remove the rear wiper arm assem- bly.CAUTION
• As your vehicle is equipped with the roof spoiler and the rear spoiler, check with the car wash operator before using the car wash.• If your vehicle is equipped with roof rails,check with the car wash operator before using the car wash.• If your vehicle is equipped with the rainsensor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sen- sor.

Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, or when water does not bead up on the paint. Use a soft cloth to put a small amount of wax on the painted surfaces. After the wax hasdried, polish with a dry soft cloth. Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You should wax when the painted surfacesare cool.
N00946100046
If painted surfaces have been severely dam- aged and lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a finepolishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat wider area, moving the polishingcloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the compound from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
N00946201099
Small cracks and scratches in the paint coatshould be touched up as soon as possible withtouch-up paint to prevent corrosion. Check body areas facing the road or the tires carefully for damage to the paint caused byflying stones, etc. The paint code number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate located on the frontpassenger door sill.
N00946301221
Use a sponge or chamois to clean these parts.If the vehicle wax sticks to a gray or blackrough surface of the bumper, molding or lights, the surface may appear white in color. In this case, wipe it off using lukewarm waterand a soft cloth or chamois.
NOTE
 When the door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or crack the rubber gasket installed around the door. Pour warm water to melt the ice. Be sure to thoroughly wipe off the water after opening the door. To pre-vent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, hood, etc., treat
with silicone lubri-
cant.
Waxing
CAUTION Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. These waxes remove rust and stain effectively from the paintwork, butare harmful to the finish of the paint, because they also remove paint/clearcoat. They are also harmful to other glossy sur-faces such as the grill
e, trim, moldings, etc.
Do not use gasoline, benzine, kerosene or paint thinners to remove road tar or other dirt from the vehicle surface. Do not put wax on the areas having black matte coating because it can cause uneven discoloration, patches, blurs, etc. If these get wax on them, wipe the wax off right awaywith a soft cloth and warm water. On vehicles equipped with the power pan- oramic sunroof, be careful when waxing the area around the front sunroof opening, not to put any wax on the weatherstrip (black rub-ber) and surrounding plastic parts. If stained with wax, the weatherstrip and surrounding plastic parts cannot maintain a weatherproofseal with the front sunroof.
Polishing
CAUTION
Damaged paint Cleaning plastic parts
CAUTION Do not use a scrubbing brush or other rough scrubber as these may damage the plastic surface. Do not use wax containing compounds (pol- ishing powder) which may damage the plas-tic surface.
