■High-pressure car washes
●Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of the win-
dows.
●Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed
properly.
■Notes for a smart access system with push-button start
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range,
the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the
vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart access system
with push-button start. (→P. 1 1 3 )
■Aluminum wheels
●Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard
brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical cleaners.
Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.
●Do not use detergent on the wheels when th ey are hot, for example after driving for
long distance in the hot weather.
●Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
■Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■Front side windows water-repellent coating (if equipped)
●The following precautions can extend the effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-
ing.
• Remove any dirt, etc. from the front side windows regularly.

●When the water-repellent performance has become insufficient, the coating can
