uuCleaning uExterior Care
Maintenance
A good coat of automotive body wax helps protect your vehicle’s paint from the
elements. Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle’s paint to the
elements, so reapply as necessary.
Your vehicle’s paint requires up to 60 da ys from the production date to fully cure.
During this time, avoid applying any wax or paint sealant-type products, as they
could inhibit the curing process and affect the paint’s durability.
You may polish the paint during these 60 days if the polish does not contain any wax
or paint sealant ingredients. Use only clean , high-quality microfiber towels or pads,
as they are a softer material with less chance of scratching the finish. It is absolutely
necessary to keep the microf iber towels or pads properly cleaned and maintained
before using on your vehicle.

NOTICE
Chemical solvents and strong cleaners can damage
the paint, metal, carbon fiber*, and plastic on your
vehicle. Wipe away spills immediately.

uuPower System Won’t Start uEmergency Power System Off
Handling the Unexpected
Emergency Power System Off
The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to turn the power system off due to
an emergency situation even while driving. If you must turn the power system off,
do either of the following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for about two seconds.
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button three times.
The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine disables
the power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will
require significantly more physical effort an d time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use
both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a
safe place.
The gear position automatically changes to
(P after the vehicle comes to a complete
stop. Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
1 Emergency Power System Off
Do not press the ENGINE START/STOP button while
driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the power
system to be turned off.
If you press the ENGINE START/STOP button while
driving, the beeper sounds.
