CAUTION
■How to use the rear view camera
●When washing your vehicle with a high-pressure washer, do not allow the
water to contact the rear view camera directly. Entry of water into the cam-
era lens may result in condensation on the lens, malfunction, fire or elec-
tric shock.
● Since the rear view camera is a precision device, do not subject it to
strong impacts. Otherwise, malfunction, fire or electric shock may occur.
● If mud or snow sticks to or is frozen on the rear view camera, very carefully
remove it. Otherwise, damage to the rear view camera may cause a fire or
electric shock. Pour water or lukewarm water over the rear view camera to
remove mud and ice, and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
● When replacing a fuse, be sure to use a fuse with the specified rating. Use
of a fuse with a different rating may result in a malfunction.
● If the rear view camera is used for a long time while the engine is not run-
ning, the battery may become completely discharged.

WARNING
■
When washing the vehicle
● Do not wash the engine compartment and area adjacent to it. If water
enters the engine air intake or electrical parts it will cause engine trouble or
a malfunction of the power steering.
● When washing the vehicle, the brakes may get wet. As a result, the brake
stopping distance will be longer. To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle at a
safe speed while lightly depressing the brake pedal to heat up the brakes.
● When washing inner fenders, underbody, bumpers and protruding objects
such as exhaust pipes and exhaust finishers, be careful to prevent injuries
from contacting sharp ends.
■ Precautions regarding the exhaust pipes
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers to
become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipes and diffusers
until they have cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes and rear
bumper diffusers can cause burns.
