Special Care
If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive
near the ocean, hose off the undercarriage at least
once a month.
It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges
of the doors, rocker panels, and cargo area be kept
clear and open.
If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the
paint, touch them up immediately. The cost of such
repairs is considered the responsibility of the owner.
If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or
similar cause, which destroys the paint and protec-
tive coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as
possible. The cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertiliz-
ers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are
well packaged and sealed.
If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider
mud or stone shields behind each wheel.
Use Touch Up Paint or equivalent on scratches as
soon as possible. Your authorized dealer has touch
up paint to match the color of your vehicle.
Wheel And Wheel Trim Care
All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and
chrome-plated wheels should be cleaned regularly with
a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion. To remove
heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use a nonabra-
sive, non-acidic cleaner. Do not use scouring pads, steel
wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner. Avoid automatic car washes that use
acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the
wheels’ protective finish.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning Procedure (for
versions/markets, where provided)
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in the following
manner:
Remove as much of the stain as possible by blotting
with a clean, dry towel.
Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp towel.
For tough stains, apply a mild soap solution to a
clean, damp cloth and remove the stain. Use a fresh,
damp towel to remove soap residue.
For grease stains, apply a Multi-Purpose Cleaner or
equivalent to a clean, damp cloth and remove the stain.
Use a fresh, damp towel to remove soap residue.
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of
protectants on Stain Repel products.
