Assist can be cancelled or not 
work properly depending on road 
conditions and surroundings. Always 
be cautious while driving.

OTM090031
•	Water washing in the engine 
compartment including high 
pressure water washing may cause 
the failure of electrical circuits 
located in the engine compartment.
•	 Never allow water or other liquids 
to come in contact with electrical/
electronic components inside the 
vehicle as this may damage them.
NOTICE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
Automatic car wash which uses rotating 
brushes should not be used as this can 
damage the surface of your vehicle. A 
steam cleaner which washes the vehicle 
surface at high temperature may result 
the oil to adhere and leave stains that is 
difficult to remove.
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber towel 
or sponge) when washing your vehicle 
and dry with a microfiber towel. When 
you hand wash your vehicle, you should 
not use a cleaner that finishes with wax. 
If the vehicle surface is too dirty (sand, 
dirt, dust, contaminant, etc.), clean the 
surface with water before washing the 
car.
Waxing
A good coat of wax is a barrier between 
your paint and contaminate. Keeping 
a good coat of wax on your vehicle will 
help protect it.
Wax the vehicle when water will no 
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before 
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or 
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s 
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect 
it and to maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials 
with a spot remover will usually strip the 
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax 
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle 
does not yet need waxing.
