APPEARANCE CARE
Corrosion prevention
It is_ important to take good care of your vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listed below are instructions for how to maintain your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
Important information about corro­
sion
Common causes of corrosion 1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt moisture or chemicals in hard-to-reach areas of the vehicle underbody or frame. 2) Chipping, scratches and any damage to treated or painted metal surfaces resulting from minor accidents or abra­sion by stones and gravel.
Environmental conditions which accel­erate corrosion 1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea breeze or industrial pollution will all accelerate the corrosion of metal. 2) High humidity will increase the rate of corrosion particularly when the tem­perature range is just above the freez­ing point. 3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehicle for an extended period of lime may pro­mote corrosion even though other body sections may be completely dry.
8-1
4) High temperatures will cause an accel­erated rate of corrosion to parts of the vehicle which are not well-ventilated to permit quick drying.
This information illustrates the necessity of keeping your vehicle (particularly the ~nderbody) as clean and dry as possible. It Is equally important to repair any damage to the paint or protective coatings as soon as possible.
How to help prevent corrosion
Wash your vehicle frequently The_ best way to preserve the finish on your vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is to keep it clean with frequent washing. Wash your vehicle at least once during the winter and once immediately after the win­ter. K<:ep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean and dry as possible. If you frequently drive on salted roads your vehicle should be washed at least once a month during the winter. If you live near the ocean, your vehicle should be washed at least once a month throughout the year.
For washing instructions, refer to "Vehicle cleaning" section.
Remove foreign material deposits Foreign materials such as salts chemicals road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings and industnal fall-out may damage the finish of your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces. Remove these types of deposits as quickly as possible. If these deposits are difficult to wash off, an additional cleaner may be required. Check that any cleaner you use is not harmful to painted surfaces and is specifically intended for your purposes. Follow the manufacturer's directions when using these special cleaners.
Repair finish damage Carefully examine your vehicle for damage to the painted surfaces. Should you find any chip~ or scratches in the paint, touch them up 1mmed1ately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches have gone through to the bare metal have a qualified body shop make the rep~ir.
Keep passenger and luggage compart­ments clean Moisture, dirt or mud can accumulate under the floor mats and may cause corro­sion. Occasionally, check under these mats to ensure that this area is clean and dry. More fr~quent checks are necessary if the vehicle Is used for off-road driving or in wet weather. Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertiliz­ers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely cor­rosive by nature. These products should be transported in sealed containers. If they

APPEARANCE CARE
Cleaning interior
Vinyl upholstery Prepare a solution of soap or mild deter­gent dissolved in warm water. Apply the solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to loosen dirt. · Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and the soap solution. If some dirt still remains on the surface, repeat this procedure.
Fabric upholstery Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap solution, rub stained areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the areas again with a cloth dampened with water. Repeat this until the stain is removed, or use a commercial fab­ric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a fabric cleaner, carefully follow the manu­facturer's instructions and precautions.
Leather upholstery Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap or saddle soap solution, wipe dirt off with a clean damp soft cloth. To remove soap, wipe the areas again with a soft cloth dampened with water. Wipe the areas dry with a soft dry cloth. Repeat this until the dirt or stain is removed, or use a commercial leather cleaner for tougher dirt or stains. If you use a leather cleaner, carefully follow the manufacturer's instruc­tions and precautions. Do not use solvent type cleaners or abrasive cleaners.
NOTE: In order to keep leather upholstery look­ing good, it should be cleaned at least twice a year. If leather upholstery becomes wet, immediately wipe it dry with tissue paper or a soft cloth. Water may cause leather to harden and shrink if it is not wiped off. When parking on sunny days, select a shady place or use a sunshade. If leather upholstery is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, it may disco/or and shrink. As is common with natural materials, leather is inherently irregular in grain and cowhide has spots in its natural state. These do not affect the performance of the leather in any way.
Seat belts Clean seat belts with a mild soap and water. Do not use bleach or dye on the belts. They may weaken the fabric in the belts.
Vinyl floor mats Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl with water or mild soap. Use a brush to help loosen dirt. After the dirt is loosened, rinse the mat thoroughly wtth water and dry it in the shade.
Carpets Remove dirt and soil as much as possible with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap solution, rub stained areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the areas again with a cloth dampened with water. Repeat this until the stain is removed, or use a commercial carpet cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a carpet cleaner, carefully follow the manufacturer's instruc­tions and precautions.
Instrument panel and console Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Gently wipe dirt off with a tightly squeezed damp clean cloth. Repeat this until the dirt is removed.

NOTICE
Do not use chemical products that contain silicon to wipe electrical components such as the air condi­tioning system, audio1 navigation system, or other switches. These will cause damage to the components.
NOTICE
Liquid such as liquid aromatics, soft drinks or juice may cause dis­coloration, wrinkles, and cracking to resin-based parts and textiles. Immediately wipe it dry with tissue paper or a soft cloth. Do not leave leather products with color, fur or vinyl products, etc. in your vehicle for long periods. It may cause discoloration or deterio­ration of interior.
Cleaning exterior
NOTICE
It is important that your vehicle be kept clean and free from dirt. Failure to keep your vehicle clean may result in fading of the paint or corrosion to various parts of the vehicle body.
Caring for aluminum wheels
NOTE: Do not use an acidic or alkaline deter­gent, or a cleaner containing petroleum solvent to wash aluminum wheels. These types of cleaner will cause per­manent spots, disco/oration and cracks on finished surfaces and damage to cen­ter caps. Do not use a bristle brush and soap con­taining an abrasive material. These will damage finished surfaces.
APPEARANCE CARE
Washing
A WARNING
Never attempt to wash and wax your vehicle with the engine run­ning. When cleaning the underside of the body and fender, where there may be sharp-edged parts, wear gloves and a long-sleeved shirt to protect your hands and arms from being cut. After washing your vehicle, care­
fully test the brakes before driving to check that they have maintained their normal effectiveness.

Fuel recommendation
78RB0901R
To avoid damaging catalytic converter, you must use unleaded gasoline with an octane number (RON) of 91 or higher (or 95 or higher if a "RON 95" label is attached on the fuel filler lid), which complies with the Euro­pean standard EN228. Do not use gasoline with additives containing metal.This is identi­fied by a label attached on fuel lid that states: "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY", "NUR UNVERBLEITES BENZIN", "ENDAST BLY­FRI BENSIN" or "SOLO GASOLINA SIN PLOMO".
Gasoline-ethanol blends Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are commercially available in certain areas. Blends of this type may be used in your vehicle if they are no more than 10% etha­nol. Check that this gasoline-ethanol blend has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for the gasoline.
Use the recommended gasoline which conforms to the following labels.
NOTE: If you are not satisfied with the driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle when you use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should switch back to unleaded gasoline contain­ing no alcohol.
Gasoline containing MTBE (where legally available) Unleaded gasoline containing MTB_E (methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in your vehicle if the MTBE content 1s not greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel does not contain alcohol.
SPECIFICATION
NOTICE
The fuel tank has an air space to allow for fuel expansion in hot weather. If you continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off or an initial blowback occurs, the air chamber will become full. Exposure to heat when fully fuelled in this manner will result in leakage due to fuel expansion. To prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling after the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off, or when initial vent blowback occurs, if using an alterna-tive non-automatic system.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containing alcohol while refueling. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up immediately. Fuels containing alco-hol can cause paint damage, which is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE: For the fuel recommendation of Chile, Panama and Argentina models, refer to "For Chile, Panama and Argentina" in the "SUPPLEMENT" section.
