Working from top to bottom,
liberally apply water to the
vehicle body, wheel wells and
underside of the vehicle to
remove any dirt and dust.



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



Wax the vehicle when the
waterproof coating deterio-
rates.

If water does not bead on a clean

cle body is cool.

■

Self-restoring coat

The vehicle body has a self-restor-

ing coating 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 temperature.

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

●

Before washing the vehicle:

• Fold the mirrors
Start washing from the front of the
vehicle. Extend the mirrors before

●

Brushes used in automatic car

washes may scratch the vehicle

surface, parts (wheel, etc.) and

harm your vehicle’s paint.

●

When the shift position needs to

be held in N, refer to P.188.

■

High pressure car washes

●

As water may enter the cabin, do

not bring the nozzle tip near the

gaps around the doors or perime-

ter of the windows, or spray these

areas continuously.

approximately 5% solution of neu-

tral detergent and water to clean

the dirt off.

●

Wipe the surface with a dry, soft

cloth to remove any remaining

moisture.

●

To remove oily deposits, use alco-

hol wet wipes or a similar product.

stick to the leather surface if the

vehicle interior heats up signifi-

cantly.

398

7-1. Maintenance and care



Remove dirt using a water-
dampened soft cloth or syn-
thetic chamois.



Wipe the surface with a dry,
soft cloth to remove any
remaining moisture.

■

Cleaning the areas with satin-

finish metal accents

The metal areas use a layer of real

metal for the surface. It is necessary

to clean them regularly. If dirty areas

are left uncleaned for long periods

of time, they may be difficult to

clean.



Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner.



Wipe off any excess dirt and
dust with a soft cloth damp-
ened with diluted detergent.

Use a diluted water solution of
approximately 5% neutral wool
detergent.



Wring out any excess water
from the cloth and thoroughly
wipe off all remaining traces
of detergent.



Wipe the surface with a dry,
soft cloth to remove any
remaining moisture. Allow the
leather to dry in a shaded and
ventilated area.
