Body Lubrication
▼Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should be
lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.
Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when the
primary latch is released.
Wiper Blades
▼ Wiper Blades
CAUTION
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.
To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
If the windshield above the rain sensor
is touched.
If the windshield above the rain sensor
is wiped with a cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object.
If the rain sensor is struck with a hand
or other object from inside the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or fingers
as it may cause injury, or damage the
wipers. When washing or servicing the
vehicle, make sure the wiper lever is in
the
position.
Contamination of either the windshield or
the blades with forei gn matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.

Action to be taken
Close the door/trunk lid/liftgate securely.
▼ Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Turns on)
If a tire pressure d
ecreases below the
specified air pressure, the TPMS warning
light turns on.
At the same time, a message and the tire
pressure of each tire are displayed on the
multi-information disp lay alternately. In
addition, the tire (s) with low air pressure
is displayed in yellow.
WA R N I N G
Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds if
the TPMS warning light turns on or flashes:
Driving the vehicle at high speeds while the
TPMS warning light is turned on or flashing
is dangerous because the brake
performance and the steering wheel
operability will be reduced. If the vehicle is
driven at high speeds or the brakes are
suddenly applied, it could lead to an
accident. Gradually apply the brakes to
lower the vehicle's speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/flashing of the
TPMS warning light is dangerous because a
tire may burst which could lead to an
accident. Take appropriate measures as
soon as possible.
NOTE
While the TPMS is learning the tire
positions, such as immediately after a tire
position has been changed, the tire
pressure at the tire position prior to it
being changed is displayed until the
system completes the learning. For this
reason, the tire pressures displayed for the
tire positions may be different from the
actual tire pressures at the tire positions.
Action to be taken
Adjust the tire pressu res to the appropriate
pressures.
Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure on page
6-30.
