Chevrolet Equinox Owners Manual: Washing the Vehicle
To preserve the vehicle's finish, wash it often and out of direct sunlight.
| Caution Do not use petroleum-based, acidic, or abrasive cleaning agents as they can damage the vehicle's paint, metal, or plastic parts. If damage occurs, it would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Approved cleaning products can be obtained from your dealer. Follow all manufacturer directions regarding correct product usage, necessary safety precautions, and appropriate disposal of any vehicle care product |
| Caution Avoid using high-pressure washes closer than 30 cm (12 in) to the surface of the vehicle. Use of power washers exceeding 8,274 kPa (1,200 psi) can result in damage or removal of paint and decals. |
Caution
Do not power wash any
component under the hood that
has this symbol.
This could cause damage that would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. |
If using an automatic car wash, follow the car wash instructions. The windshield wiper and rear window wiper, if equipped, must be off.
Remove any accessories that may be damaged or interfere with the car wash equipment.
Rinse the vehicle well, before washing and after, to remove all cleaning agents completely. If they are allowed to dry on the surface, they could stain.
Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or an all-cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and water spotting.
