Information
HID lamps have superior perform-
ance in comparison to halogen bulbs.
HID lamps are estimated to last twice
as long as halogen bulbs, or longer, by
the manufacturer, depending on the
usage hours. HID lamps needs to be
replaced at some point within the
vehicle life. Frequent turning the
headlamps ON and OFF shortens the
HID lamps life. HID lamps do not
blow out in the same manner as halo-
gen incandescent lamps. When a
headlamp blows out after a period of
operation, the lamp light gradually
fades away after being turned ON.
Even when the lamp is turned ON by
turning ON the switch, it needs to be
replaced. The HID lamp components
are more complex than the ones of
conventional halogen bulbs. Thus, the
repairing costs are more expensive.

Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all the warn-
ings and cautions on the label.
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure wash-
ers, make sure to maintain suffi-
cient distance from the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive
pressure can lead to component
damage or water penetration.
Do not spray the camera, sensors or its surrounding area directly with
a high pressure washer. Shock
applied from high pressure water
may cause the device to not oper-
ate normally.
Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or plastic covers) or
connectors as they may be dam-
aged if they come into contact with
high pressure water.
Finish maintenance
Washing
To protect your vehicle’s paint from
rust and deterioration, thoroughly
wash the vehicle at least once a
month with lukewarm or cold water.
After each off-road driving, you
should wash the vehicle. Pay special
attention to removing any salty and
muddy substances. Make sure the
drain holes on the lower door edges
and on the rocker panels are kept
clear and clean. Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollutants and similar
deposits damage your vehicle’s fin-
ish, if not immediately removed.
Even prompt washing with plain
water may not completely remove all
these deposits. A mild soap, which is
safe for a painted surface, may be
used.
After soaping, thoroughly rinse the
vehicle body with lukewarm or cold
water. Do not allow soap to dry on
the finish.
• Do not use strong soap, chemical detergents or hot
water. Do not wash the vehicle
when it is under direct sun-
light, or when its body is
warm.
Be careful when washing the side windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressure
water, water may penetrate
into the windows and wet the
interior.
To prevent damage to plastic parts and lamps, do not wash
the vehicle with chemical sol-
vents or strong detergents.
CAUTION
- Wet brakes
After washing the vehicle, test
the brake operations to check
whether it is affected by water.
When the braking performance
is deteriorated, dry the brakes
by lightly applying them and
driving forward at a slow speed.
