Exterior Care

Dust off the vehicle body after you drive.

Regularly inspect your vehicle for scratches on painted surfaces. A scratch on a
painted surface can result in body rust. If you find a scratch, promptly repair it.

Wash the vehicle regularly. Wash more frequently when driving in the
following conditions:

• If driving on roads with road salt.

• If driving in coastal areas.

• If tar, soot, bird droppings, insects, or tree sap are stuck to painted surfaces.

Fold in the door mirrors. Make sure to follow the instructions indicated on the
automated vehicle wash.

• Keep sufficient distance between the cleaning nozzle and the vehicle body.

• Take particular care around the windows. Standing too close may cause water to

enter the vehicle interior. Do not spray water into the engine compartment.
