nated with soot, oily smoke, mine

dust, iron powder or chemical sub-

stances

■

Precautions regarding the

exhaust pipes

ꢀ If the vehicle becomes heavily

soiled with dust or mud

Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust

pipes and rear bumper diffusers to

become quite hot.

When washing the vehicle, be careful

not to touch the pipes and diffusers

until they have cooled sufficiently, as

touching hot exhaust pipes and rear

bumper diffusers can cause burns.

ꢀ If liquids such as benzene and gas-

oline are spilled on the paint sur-

ing the wheels.

6-1. Maintenance and care

284

●

Keep the cleaning nozzle at least

30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-

cle body. Otherwise resin section,

such as moldings and bumpers,

may be deformed and damaged.

NOTICE

Cleaning the exterior lights

●

Do not spray the lower part of the

windshield continuously.

Wash carefully. Do not use organic

substances or scrub with a hard

brush. This may damage the sur-

If water enters the air conditioning

system intake located near the lower

part of the windshield, the air condi-

tioning system may not operate cor-

rectly.

●

■

Do not apply wax to the surfaces of

the lights.

Wax may cause damage to the

position, do so from the passenger

side first.

■

When using a high pressure car

wash

●

When washing the vehicle, do not

spray the camera or its surrounding

area directly with a high pressure

washer. Shock applied from high

pressure water may cause the

device to not operate normally.

Do not bring the nozzle tip close to

boots (rubber or resin manufac-

tured cover), connectors or the fol-

lowing parts. The parts may be

damaged if they come into contact

Water in the vehicle

Do not splash or spill liquid in the

vehicle.

window

NOTICE

●

Do not use a chemical agent con-

taining silicone (highly-polymerized

silicon compound) when cleaning

any of the electrical appliances

such as the air conditioning, all

switches and their surrounding

areas.

If silicon (highly-polymerized silicon

compound) contacts these compo-

Preventing damage to leather

surfaces

When cleaning the instrument

panel

Observe the following precautions to

avoid damage to and deterioration of

leather surfaces:

When small grains of sand and so

forth have gotten into instrument

panel’s surface and cannot be wiped

away using a cloth, use a clay bar

without adding water. Forcibly trying

to wipe the surface clean with a brush

or sponge may scratch the surface or

fragments of the cloth may be left in

the surface.

●

Remove any dust or dirt from

leather surfaces immediately.

●

Do not expose the vehicle to direct

sunlight for extended periods of

time. Park the vehicle in the shade,

especially during summer.

●

■

Do not place items made of vinyl,

plastic, or containing wax on the

upholstery, as they may stick to the

leather surface if the vehicle interior

heats up significantly.

Cleaning the leather areas

 Remove dirt and dust using a

vacuum cleaner.

 Wipe off any excess dirt and dust

with a soft cloth dampened with

diluted detergent.

Water on the floor

Do not wash the vehicle floor with

water.

Vehicle systems such as the audio

system may be damaged if water

comes into contact with electrical

components such as the audio sys-

tem above or under the floor of the

vehicle. Water may also cause the

body to rust.

Use a diluted water solution of approxi-

mately 5% neutral wool detergent.

 Wring out any excess water from

the cloth and thoroughly wipe off

all remaining traces of detergent.

 Wipe the surface with a dry, soft

cloth to remove any remaining

moisture.

When soaking up spilled liquids

 If liquid is spilled, lightly pat the

area with a tissue paper or simi-

lar to soak up the liquid.

Do not press down too firmly with the

cloth, tissue paper etc., as doing so

may cause the liquid to further pene-

trate the material, making soaking up

the liquid more difficult.
