Appearance and care
In order to maintain the appearance of your
vehicle, it is important to take proper care of it.
To protect the paint surfaces, wash your vehicle
as soon as you can:
.
after a rainfall to prevent possible damage
from acid rain
.
after driving on coastal roads
.
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 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 surface
when putting on or removing the body
cover.
MATTE PAINT CARE (if so equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with matte paint,
special care is necessary to clean your vehicle to
maintain the appearance of the matte paint.
CAUTION
Failure to follow the proper matte paint
care instructions can permanently af-
fect the appearance of the paint. Im-
proper care can result in shiny spots,
rub marks or other damage. This da-
mage can only be repaired at a body
shop trained in matte paint repair.
Damage resulting from improper matte
paint care is not covered under NIS-
SAN’s new vehicle limited warranty.

Only use cleaners and soaps that
are specifically formulated for matte
paint.
.
Do not use terry cloth towels to
wash or dry the vehicle.
.
Do not rub repeatedly with any
cleaning material to minimize the
risk of burnishing a shiny spot.
.
Hand wash with a wet microfiber
cloth, dry with clean damp chamois,
and use light pressure with a micro-
fiber towel. Minimize the pressure
you use.
.
Test all cleaning products on a
hidden part of the vehicle (such as
under the rocker sills) to make
certain they do not affect the ap-
pearance of the matte paint.
.
Pre-rinse the vehicle before wash-
ing to remove coarse dirt that can
scratch the paint.
.
Do not wash using a pressure
washer.

Spot treat heavy dirt accumulation
with a cleaner made for matte paint.
.
Do not use solvent based tar and
bug remover products to clean the
vehicle.

those specifically formulated for
matte paint. These products may
affect the appearance (add shine)
of the matte paint.
