Grime from the windshield will stick to the wiper

blades and affect their performance. Clean the blade by

wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full-strength

windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade

with water.

Check the wiper blades and clean them as necessary;

replace blades that look worn.

Weatherstrips

Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last

longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply

silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every

six months. During very cold, damp weather more

frequent application may be required. See

“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.

Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle

The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth

of color, gloss retention and durability.

Washing Your Vehicle

The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is

to keep it clean by washing it often with lukewarm

or cold water.

Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun.

Use a car washing soap. Don’t use strong soaps or

chemical detergents. Be sure to rinse the vehicle well,

removing all soap residue completely. You can get

-approved cleaning products from your dealer.

See “Appearance Care and Materials” in the Index.

Don’t use cleaning agents that are petroleum based,

or that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents

should be flushed promptly and not allowed to dry on

the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish with a

soft, clean chamois or an all

-cotton towel to avoid

surface scratches and water spotting.

High pressure car washes may cause water to enter

your vehicle.

Cleaning Exterior Lamps/Lenses

Use only lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a

car washing soap to clean exterior lamps and lenses.

Follow instructions under “Washing Your Vehicle.”
