are spilled or leaked, clean and dry the
area immediately.
Store your vehicle in a dry, well-venti-
lated area
Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly-
ventilated area. If you often wash your
vehicle in the garage and place it there in
wet condition, your garage may be damp.
The high humidity in the garage may
cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet vehi-
cle may corrode even in a heated garage if
the ventilation is poor.
Vehicle cleaning
76G044S
Cleaning interiorVinyl upholstery
Prepare a solution of soap or mild deter-
gent mixed with warm water. Apply the
solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft
cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to
loosen dirt.
Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth
to remove dirt and the soap solution. If
some dirt still remains on the surface,
repeat this procedure.
Fabric upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Using a mild soap solution, rub stained
areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove
soap, rub the areas again with a cloth
dampened with water. Repeat this until the
stain is removed, or use a commercial fab-
ric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a
fabric cleaner, carefully follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions and precautions.
WA R N I N G
Do not apply additional undercoating
or rust preventive coating on or
around exhaust system components
such as the catalytic converter and
exhaust pipes. A fire could be started
if the undercoating substance
becomes overheated.
WA R N I N G
When cleaning the interior or exterior
of the vehicle, do not use flammable
solvents such as lacquer thinners,
gasoline and benzene. Also, do not
use cleaning materials such as
bleaches and strong household
detergents. The materials could
cause personal injury or damage to
the vehicle.
WA R N I N G
On models equipped with the ENG A-
STOP system, there is a lithium-ion
battery under the front passenger’s
seat. Do not allow the battery to get
wet. Otherwise, it may cause a fire or
electric shock or damage to the bat-
tery.

To avoid damaging the catalytic converter,
you must use unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher.
These vehicles are also identified by a
label attached near the fuel filler pipe that
states: “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”, “NUR
UNVERBLEITES BENZIN”, “ENDAST
BLYFRI BENSIN” or “SOLO GASOLINA
SIN PLOMO”. Gasoline-ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in certain areas.
Blends of this type may be used in your
vehicle if they are no more than 10% etha-
nol.
Check that this gasoline-ethanol blend has
octane ratings no lower than those recom-
mended for the gasoline.
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should
switch back to unleaded gasoline contain-
ing no alcohol.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
The fuel tank has an air space to
allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel
after the filler nozzle has automati-
cally shut off or an initial blowback
occurs, the air chamber will become
full. Exposure to heat when fully
fuelled in this manner will result in
leakage due to fuel expansion. To
prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling
after the filler nozzle has automati-
cally shut off, or when initial vent
blowback occurs, if using an alterna-
tive non-automatic system.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up
immediately. Fuels containing alco-
hol can cause paint damage, which is
not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.

To avoid damaging the catalytic converter,
you must use unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher (or
95 or higher if it is stated on the fuel filler
lid).

states: “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”, “NUR
UNVERBLEITES BENZIN”, “ENDAST

WA R N I N G
When using child restraint system on
the front passenger’s seat, the front
passenger’s air bag must be deacti-
vated; otherwise deployment of the
front passenger’s air bag could result
in the death or serious injury of the
child.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the front passenger’s air
bag is activated and the “PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG ON” indicator is on
whenever there is no child restraint
installed on the front passenger’s
seat.
