Cleaning the outside of your vehicle Vehicle care and maintenance 9-41
9
Salt and other chemical
s used on winter roads
in some geographical ar
eas can have a detri-
mental effect on the vehicle underbody. Youshould 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 other
debris which could trap and hold salt and moisture.After washing your vehicle, wipe off all waterdrops from the rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freezing.

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 has dried, polish with a dry soft cloth.Do not wax your vehicle
in direct sunlight.
You should wax when the painted surfaces are cool.
CAUTION When washing the underside of your vehicle or the wheels, wear a pair of gloves to pro-tect your hands. If your vehicle has rain
sensor wipers, place
the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” positionto deactivate the rain sensor before washing the vehicle. Otherwise,
the wipers will oper-
ate in the presence of water spray on thewindshield and may get
damaged 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 notenter the engine compartment. Avoid automatic car washers that use rotat- ing brushes. These brushes may scratch the paint surface and make it dull. Scratches are more not
iceable on darker col-
ored vehicles. Some hot water wash
ing equipment uses
high pressure and heat to clean your vehicle. Because hot water can da
mage plastics parts
and seep inside your ve
hicle, 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 theglass surface.
 Make sure to do the following when using an automatic car wash, with help from eitherthis manual or the car wash operator, toavoid damaging your vehicle:• Fold the outside
rearview mirrors.
• Remove the antenna.• Tape or remove the rear wiper arm assem- bly.• If your vehicle is equi
pped with a roof rails,
check with the car wash operator before using the car wash.• If your vehicle is equipped with the rainsensor wipers, place th
e wiper switch lever
in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.
During cold weather
CAUTION
NOTE
 When the door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or cr
ack the rubber gasket
installed around the door. Pour warm waterto 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, but are 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 grille, trim, moldings, etc.
