●Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.

Be careful not to touch the camera sensor (→P. 2 3 8 ) .
If the camera is accidentally scratched or hit, LDA may not operate properly or may
cause a malfunction.

Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes into contact
with electrical components such as the audio system above or under the floor of the

●Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause damage to the
rear window defogger heater wires or antenna. Use a cloth dampened with luke-
warm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in strokes running
parallel to the heater wires or antenna.
●Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires or antenna.
