wheel wells and underside of the
vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.



Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.



For hard-to-remove marks, use car



Wipe away any water.



Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.

If water does not bead on a clean surface,
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.

Self-restoring coat

The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-

ing that is resistant to small surface

scratches caused in a car wash etc.

The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from

when the vehicle is delivered from the

plant.

The restoration time differs depending on

the depth of the scratch and outside tem-

perature.

The restoration time may become

shorter when the coating is warmed by

applying warm water.

Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,

etc. cannot be restored.

Do not use wax that contains abrasives.

Automatic car washes

some automatic car washes. There may

also be an increased risk of damage to

vehicle.

High pressure car washes

As water may enter the cabin, do not bring

the nozzle tip near the gaps around the

doors or perimeter of the windows, or spray

these areas continuously.

procedures to wash the vehicle:

Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.) or

more separate from the vehicle while the

vehicle is being washed. (Take care to

ensure that the key is not stolen.)

Set the electronic key to battery-saving

mode to disable the smart entry & start

system. (
