CAUTION
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 on the paint and the plate, because they also remove clearcoat. They are also harmful to other glossy sur-faces such as the grill
e, trim, moldings, etc.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, benzine 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 with sunroof, be careful not to apply any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber) when waxing the area around the sunroof opening.If stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the sun- roof.
