WAXING

Regular waxing is necessary to protect your car’s paint from the

elements. We recommend that you wash and wax the painted surface

once or twice a year.

When washing and waxing, park your vehicle in a shaded area out of

direct sunlight. Always wash your vehicle before applying wax.

• Use a quality wax that does not contain abrasives.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to apply and remove the wax.

• Apply a small amount of wax in a back-and-forth motion, not in

circles.

• Do not allow wax to come in contact with any non-body (low-gloss

black) colored trim. The wax will discolor or stain the parts over

time, such as:

• Bumpers

• Grained door handles

• Side mouldings

• Mirror housings

• Windshield cowl area.

• Do not apply wax to glass areas.

• After waxing, your car’s paint should feel smooth, and be free of

streaks and smudges.

REPAIRING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE

Your authorized dealer has touch-up paint to match your vehicle’s color.

Take your color code (printed on a sticker in the driver’s door jamb) to

your authorized dealer to make sure you get the correct color.

• Remove particles, such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar

spots, road salt and industrial fallout, before repairing paint chips.

• Always read the instructions before using the products.

CLEANING THE ENGINE

Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt

buildup keep the engine warmer than normal.

When washing:

• Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The

high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause

damage.

• Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the

engine block or other engine components.
