from diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen filter every 15,000 miles.
*2: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission temperatures. This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the Maintenance

every 31,250 miles.

Maintenance
• Keep sufficient distance between the cleaning nozzl e and the vehicle body.
• Take particular care around the windows. Standing too close may cause water to
enter the vehicle interior.
• Do not spray high pressure water directly into the motor co mpartment. Instead,
use low pressure water.
• Do not spray high pressure water direct ly around the hydrogen fuel lid and
ventilation duct.
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.
If you get inverter coolant or battery fluid on resin coated parts, they may be stained
or the coating may peel. Promptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and clean water.
Wipe using a glass cleaner.
