●If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place the
wiper switch lever in the “ ” (OFF) position to
deactivate the rain sensor before washing the vehi-
cle. Otherwise, the wipers will operate in the pres-
ence of water spray on the windscreen and may get
damaged as a result.
● Refrain from using a car wash as its brushes may
scratch the paint surface, ca using it to lose its gloss.
Scratches will be especially visible on darker col-
oured vehicles.
● Never spray or splash water on the electrical compo-
nents in the engine compartment, as this may
adversely affect engine starting.
Exercise caution also when washing the underbody;
be careful not to spray wa ter into the engine com-
partment.
● Some types of hot water washing equipment apply
high pressure and heat to the vehicle. They may
cause heat distortion and damage to the vehicle resin
parts and may result in floo ding of the vehicle inte-
rior. Therefore; ob serve the following.
• Maintain a good distance of approx. 50 cm or more
between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass, hold the
nozzle at a distance of more than 50 cm and at
right angles to the glass surface.
CAUTION!
● After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal several
times in order to dry out the brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in reduced
braking performance. There is also a possibility that
they could freeze up or b ecome inoperative due to
rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
● When using an automatic car wash, pay attention to
the following items, referi ng to the operation man-
ual or consulting a car wash operator. If the follow-
ing procedure is not followed, it could result in
damage to your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The antenna is removed.
• The rear wiper arm assembly is taped or removed.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a rear spoiler, con- sult a car wash operator be fore using the car wash.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place the
wiper switch lever in th e “ ” (OFF) position to
deactivate the rain sensor.
CAUTION!
