Make sure to follow the instructions indicated on the automated car wash.

•

Fold in the door mirrors.

•

For models equipped with automatic intermittent wipers, turn the wipers off.

•

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 high pressure water directly into the engine compartment. Instead, 
use low pressure water and a mild detergent.

A good coat of automotive body wax helps protect your vehicle’s paint from the 
elements. Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle’s paint to the 
elements, so reapply as necessary.

If you get gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery fluid on resin coated parts, they 
may be stained or the coating may peel. Promptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and 
clean water.
