Precautions to observe
when using wipers and
washers
E00507600027
●
If the moving wipers become blocked by ice or other deposits on the glass, the motor may burn out even if thewiper switch is turned to OFF. If obstruction occurs, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the ignition, and clean the deposits from the gla
ss so that the wipers operate
smoothly.
●
Do not use the wipers when the glass is dry. They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prema-turely.
●
Before using the wipers in co
ld weather, check that the
wiper blades are not frozen onto the glass. The motor mayburn out if the wipers are used
with the blades frozen onto
the glass.
●
Avoid using the washer continuously for more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the wa
sher when the fluid reser-
voir is empty. Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
●
Periodically check the level of washer fluid in the reser- voir and refill if required. During cold weather, add a
recommended washer solution
that will not freeze in the wash
er reservoir. Failure to do
so could result in loss of washer function and frost dam- age to the system components.

Floor mats Carrying children in the vehicle
●
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the key in the ignition and children inside the vehicle. Children mayplay with the driving controls
and this could lead to an
accident.
●
Make sure that infants and small children are properly restrained in accordance with the laws and regulations, and for maximum protection
in case of an accident.
●
Prevent children fr
om playing in the luggage compart-
ment. It is quite dangerous to allow them to play there while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggageWhen loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous no
t only because rearward vision
will be obstructed, but also the luggage may be projected into the passenger compartment under hard braking.
WARNING
!●
Keep floor mats clear of th
e pedals by correctly lay-
ing floor mats that are suitable for the vehicle. To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of posi- tion, securely retain th
em using the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one floor mat on top of an
other can obstruct pedal
operation and lead to a serious accident.
