CLEANING EXTERIOR
In order to maintain the appearance of your
vehicle, it is important to take proper care of
it.
In the following cases, please wash your
vehicle as soon as possible to protect the
paint surface.
O After a rainfall to prevent possible damage
from acid rain.
O After driving on coastal roads
O When contaminants such as soot, bird
droppings, tree sap, metal particles or
bugs get on the paint surface
O When dust or mud builds up on the
surface
Whenever possible, store or park your vehicle
inside a garage or in a covered area.
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 sur-
face when putting on or removing the
body cover.
WASHING
Thoroughly rinse surface dirt off the vehicle
with a wet sponge and plenty of clean water.
Clean the vehicle thoroughly using a mild
soap such as Nissan Car Wash, or a general
purpose dishwashing liquid mixed with clean,
lukewarm (never hot) water. Rinse the vehicle
again with plenty of clean water.
Inside flanges, seams and folds on the doors,
hatches and hood are particularly vulnerable
to the effects of road salt. Therefore, these
areas must be regularly cleaned. Make sure
that the drain holes in the lower edge of the
door are open. Spray water under the body
and in the wheel wells to loosen the dirt and
wash away road salt.
Avoid leaving water spots on the paint surface
by using a damp chamois to dry the vehicle.
CAUTION
O Donot usestronghouseholdsoap,
strongchemicaldetergents, gaso-
line or solvents.
O Do not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or while the vehicle body
is hot, as the surface may be-
come water-spotted.
O Avoid using tight-napped or rough
cloths, such as washing mitts.
Care must be taken when remov-
ing caked-on dirt or other foreign
substances so that the paint sur-
face is not scratched or damaged.
