Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or shifting a gear on a
corner, especially when a road sur-
face is wet. It is ideal to drive a cor-
ner by gently accelerating. When you
take this suggestion, the tire wear-
out will be minimized.
Driving at night
Since night-time driving is more haz-
ardous than day-time driving, here
are some important tips to remem-
ber:
Slow down a driving speed andkeep a longer safe distance from a
vehicle in front, as it may be hard-
er to see at night, especially in
areas without any street lights.
Adjust your mirror angle to reduce glares from the headlamps of other
vehicles.
Keep your headlamps clean and properly aimed at. Any foreign sub-
stances on a headlamp and an
improperly adjusted headlamp
angle make it much harder to see
at night. Turning the headlamp ON,
while operating windshield wipers,
is mandatory in some states.
Avoid directly staring at the head- lamps of approaching vehicles.
This may temporarily blind your
vision, and take several seconds
for your eyes to readjust in the
darkness.

Maintenance
Blade inspectionInformation
Hot wax in market may be used in
automatic car washes. However, it is
known to make it difficult to clean the
windshield.
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign substances may undermine the
effects of the windshield wipers.
Common contamination sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treat-
ments used in some car washes.
When the blades do not properly
wipe off, clean the window and
blades with a good-quality cleaner or
mild detergent. Then, thoroughly
wash them with clean water.
Do not use gasolines, kerosene,
paint thinner, or other solvents on
or near the wiper blades to pre-
vent damage.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer ade-
quately clean, the blades may be
worn out or cracked. Then, replace-
ment is required.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to manually move the
wipers.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
Front windshield wiper blade
For your convenience, move the
windshield wiper blades as illustrat-
ed.
Turn off the engine.
Fully raise the wipers by setting the
wiper lever in the single wiping
(MIST) position less than 20 sec-
onds.
