60B212S
When washing the vehicle, park it in the
place where direct sunlight does not fall on
it and follow the instructions below:
1) Flush the underside of body and wheel
housings with pressurized water to
remove mud and debris. Use plenty of
water.2) Rinse the body to loosen the dirt.
Remove dirt and mud from the body
exterior with running water. You may
use a soft sponge or brush. Do not use
hard materials which can scratch the
paint or plastic. Remember that the
headlight covers or lenses are made of
plastic in many cases.
3) Wash the entire exterior with a mild
detergent or car wash soap using a
sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or
cloth should be frequently soaked in the
soap solution.
4) Once the dirt has been completely
removed, rinse off the detergent with
running water.
5) Wipe off the vehicle body with a wet
chamois or cloth and allow it to dry in
the shade.

fully test the brakes before driving
to check that they have maintained
their normal effectiveness.

of more than 80°C (176°F) on plas-
tic parts.
• To avoid damaging engine compo-
nents, do not use pressurized
water in the engine compartment.
NOTICE

How to arm the theft deterrent alarm
system (when enabled)
Lock all doors (including the tailgate) using
the keyless push start system remote con-
troller, the request switch or the keyless
entry system transmitter. The theft deter-
rent light (1) will start blinking, and the theft
deterrent alarm system will be armed in
about 20 seconds.
While the system is being armed, the indi-
cator continues to blink at intervals of
approximately 2 seconds.
54P000208
NOTE:
To prevent the alarm from being acciden-
tally triggered, avoid arming it while any-
one remains inside the vehicle. The
alarm will be triggered if any person
inside unlocks a door or engine hood (for
EU specification vehicle) by operating
the lock knob or power door locking
switch.
The theft deterrent alarm system is not
armed when all doors are locked using
the key from outside, or using the door
lock knobs or the power door locking
switch from inside.
If any door is not operated within approx-
imately 30 seconds after the doors have
been unlocked using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, the doors are automati-
cally locked again. At the same time, the
theft deterrent alarm system is armed if
the system is in the enabled state.How to disarm the theft deterrent alarm
system
Simply unlock the doors using the keyless
push start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry system
transmitter. The theft deterrent light will go
out, indicating that the theft deterrent
alarm system is disarmed.

How to stop the alarm
Should the alarm be triggered accidentally,
unlock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the request
switch or the keyless entry system trans-
mitter, or press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “ON” or turn
the ignition switch to “ON” position. The
alarm will then stop.
NOTE:
Even after the alarm has stopped, if you
lock the doors using the keyless push
start system remote controller, the
request switch or the keyless entry sys-
tem transmitter, the theft deterrent alarm
system will be rearmed with a delay of
about 20 seconds.
If you disconnect the battery while the
theft deterrent alarm system is in the
armed condition or the alarm is actually
in operation, the alarm will be triggered
or re-triggered when the battery is then
reconnected, although, in the latter case,
the alarm remains stopped for the period
between disconnection and reconnec-
tion of the battery.
Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any door or
engine hood (for EU specification vehi-
cle) is opened without disarming the
theft deterrent alarm system.Checking whether the alarm has been
triggered during parking
If the alarm was triggered due to an unau-
thorized entry into the vehicle and you then
press the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to “ON” or turn the ignition
switch to “ON” position, the theft deterrent
light will blink rapidly for about 8 seconds
and a buzzer will beep 4 times during this
period. If this happens, check whether your
vehicle has been broken into while you
were away from it.
Enabling and disabling the theft deter-
rent alarm system
The theft deterrent alarm system can be
either enabled or disabled.
When enabled (factory setting)
When the system is enabled, it causes the
hazard warning lights to flash for about 40
seconds if any of the alarm trigger condi-
tions is met. The system also causes the
interior buzzer to beep intermittently for
about 10 seconds, which is followed by
intermittent sounding of the horn for about
30 seconds.
The theft deterrent light continues to blink
during this time.
When disabled
When the system is disabled, it stays dis-
armed even if you perform any system
arming operation.How to switch the state of the theft
deterrent alarm system
You can switch the theft deterrent alarm
system from the enabled state to the dis-
abled state, and vice versa, using the fol-
lowing method.

above steps, the state of the theft deterrent
alarm system changes from the currently
selected one to the other. You can check
whether the system is enabled or disabled
by the number of interior buzzer beeps at
the end of the procedure as follows.
NOTE:
You cannot disable the theft deterrent
alarm system while it is in the armed
condition.
If you fail to complete the operations in
Step 2) and 3) within 15 seconds, per-
form the procedure again from the
beginning.
Check that all doors are closed when
performing the above procedure.
NOTE:
You can also switch the theft deterrent
alarm system from the enabled state to the
disabled state, and vice versa, via the
information display setting mode. For
details on how to use the information dis-
play, refer to “Information display” in
“BEFORE DRIVING” section.
