Vehicle Care

Cleaning Exterior Lamps/
Lenses, Emblems, Decals, and
Stripes

Use only lukewarm or cold water, a
soft cloth, and a car washing soap
to clean exterior lamps, lenses,
emblems, decals, and stripes.
Follow instructions under "Washing
the Vehicle" previously in this
section.

Lamp covers are made of plastic,
and some have a UV protective
coating. Do not clean or wipe them
when dry.

Do not use any of the following on
lamp covers:

.

Abrasive or caustic agents

.

Washer fluids and other cleaning
agents in higher concentrations
than suggested by the
manufacturer

.

Solvents, alcohols, fuels,
or other harsh cleaners

.

Ice scrapers or other hard items

.

Aftermarket appearance caps or
covers while the lamps are
illuminated, due to excessive
heat generated

Caution

Failure to clean lamps properly
can cause damage to the lamp
cover that would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.

Caution

Using wax on low gloss black
finish stripes can increase the
gloss level and create a
non-uniform finish. Clean low
gloss stripes with soap and
water only.

Air Intakes

Clear debris from the air intakes,
between the hood and windshield,
when washing the vehicle.

Windshield and Wiper Blades

Clean the outside of the windshield
with glass cleaner.

Clean rubber blades using a lint-free
cloth or paper towel soaked with
windshield washer fluid or a mild
detergent. Wash the windshield
thoroughly when cleaning the
blades. Bugs, road grime, sap, and
a buildup of vehicle wash/wax
treatments may cause wiper
streaking.

Replace the wiper blades if they are
worn or damaged. Damage can be
caused by extreme dusty
conditions, sand, salt, heat, sun,
snow, and ice.

Weatherstrips

Apply weatherstrip lubricant on
weatherstrips to make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or
squeak. Lubricate weatherstrips at
least once a year. Hot, dry climates
may require more frequent
application. Black marks from
rubber material on painted surfaces
