hill, or when driving on a curved
road.
• The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.

External power source using 12V
battery
The use of external power acces-
sories may reduce performance
and function of the vehicle.
Especially, the use of dash cam-
eras may shut off the power of the
vehicle prior to the dash camera's
automatic shut-down.
If the power of the vehicle is shut
off, start the vehicle as explained.
(refer to "Using the 12V Battery
Reset Switch")Jump starting
In the event vehicle still does not
have a functional 12V battery (check
if interior lights will not turn on) then
you can try a jump start to the engine
compartment jumper terminals using
a 12V booster pack or jumper cables
from another vehicle's 12V battery
according to the following instruc-
tions.1. Position the vehicles close enough
that the jumper cables will reach,
but do not allow the vehicles to
touch.
2. Avoid fans or any moving parts in
the engine compartment at all
times, even when the vehicles are
turned off.
3. Turn off all electrical devices such
as radios, lights, air conditioning,
etc. Put the vehicles in P (Park)
and set the parking brake. Turn
both vehicles OFF.
NOTICE
What to do in an emergency
Jump starting can be danger-
ous if done incorrectly. Follow
the jump starting procedure in
this section to avoid serious
injury or damage to your vehi-
cle. If in doubt about how to
properly jump start your vehi-
cle, we strongly recommend
that you have a service techni-
cian or towing service do it for
you.

Maintenance
APPEARANCE CARE
Exterior care
Exterior general caution
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning
and caution statements that appear
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 help protect your vehicle’s finish
from rust and deterioration, wash it
thoroughly and frequently at least
once a month with lukewarm or cold
water.
If you use your vehicle for off-road
driving, you should wash it after each
off-road trip. Pay special attention to
the removal of any accumulation of
salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign
materials. Make sure the drain holes
in the lower edges of the doors and
rocker panels are kept clear and
clean.
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar
deposits can damage your vehicle’s
finish if not removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain
water may not completely remove all
these deposits. A mild soap, safe for
use on painted surfaces, should be
used.
After washing, rinse the vehicle thor-
oughly with lukewarm or cold water.
Do not allow soap to dry on the finish.• Do not use strong soap, chemi-
cal detergents or hot water, and
do not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or when the body of the
vehicle is warm.
• Be careful when washing the
side windows of your vehicle.
Especially, with high-pressure
water, water may leak through
the windows and wet the interi-
or.
• To prevent damage to the plastic
parts, do not clean with chemi-
cal solvents or strong deter-
gents.
NOTICE
After washing the vehicle, test
the brakes while driving slowly
to see if they have been affected
by water before getting on the
road. If braking performance is
impaired, dry the brakes by
applying them lightly while main-
taining a slow forward speed.
