7-2 Appearance and care
T32A130827-B546E8D4-F62E-4E44-86B7-FDA25D20C022
In order to maintain the appearance of your
vehicle, it is important to take proper care of it.
Whenever possible, park your vehicle inside a
garage or in a covered area to minimize the
chances of damaging the paint surface of your
vehicle.
When it is necessary to park outside, park in a
shady area or protect the vehicle with a body
cover. Be careful not to scratch the paint
surface when putting on or removing the
body cover.
WASHING
T32A130827-75EA71EE-82C3-45D9-89B6-534587A2F13A
In the following instances, wash your vehicle as
soon as possible to protect the paint surface:
. After a rainfall, which may cause the paint
surface damage from acid rain.
. After driving on coastal roads, which may
cause rusting from the sea breeze.
. When contaminants such as soot, bird
droppings, tree sap, metal particles or bugs
get on the paint surface.
. When dust or mud builds up on the paint
surface.
1. Wash the vehicle surface with a wet sponge
and plenty of water.
2. Clean the vehicle surface gently and thor-
oughly using a mild soap, a special vehicle
soap or a general purpose dishwashing
liquid mixed with clean, lukewarm (never
hot) water.
CAUTION:
. Do not wash the vehicle with strong
household soap, strong chemical deter-
gents, gasoline or solvents.
. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight
or while the vehicle body is hot, as the
paint surface may become water-
spotted.
. Avoid using tight-napped or rough cloths,
such as washing mitts. Care must be
taken when removing caked-on dirt or
other foreign substances so the paint
surface is not scratched or damaged.
3. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of
clean water.
4. Use a dampened chamois to dry the paint
surface and avoid leaving water spots.
When washing the vehicle, take care of the
following:
. Inside flanges, joints and folds on the doors,
back door and hood are particularly vulner-
able to the effects of road salt. Therefore,
these areas must be cleaned regularly.
. Be sure that the drain holes in the lower
edge of the doors are not clogged.
. Spray water to the underbody and in the
wheel wells to loosen the dirt and/or wash
away road salt.
REMOVING SPOTS
T32A130827-D69C8C6E-23D2-464A-971C-BACAC95FCE20
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible
from the paint surface to avoid lasting damage
or staining. Special cleaning products are
available at a NISSAN dealer or any automotive
accessory store.
WAXING
T32A130827-D9B96C11-516D-48E7-8EEB-9F4E4A00E581
Regular waxing protects the paint surface and
helps maintain a new vehicle appearance.
After waxing, polishing is recommended to
remove built-up residue and to avoid a weath-
ered appearance.
A NISSAN dealer can assist you in choosing the
appropriate waxing products.
CAUTION:
. Wash your vehicle thoroughly and com-
pletely before applying wax to the paint
surface.
. Always follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions supplied with the wax.
. Do not use a wax containing any abra-
sives, cutting compounds or cleaners
that may damage the vehicle finish.
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing
on a base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull
the finish or leave swirl marks.
GLASS
T32A130827-EF64A817-F9D8-41D9-9211-AFD2A86FD09E
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust
film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for
glass to become coated with a film after the
vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner
and a soft cloth will easily remove this film.
