●To protect the matte paint from
damage, make sure to observe
the following precautions.
• Do not scrub or polish the wheels using a brush or dry cloth
• Do not use any wheel coatings or
abrasive detergents
■Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if the vehicle is
parked with wet brake pads or disc
rotors, causing them to stick. Before
parking the vehicle after it is
washed, drive slow ly and apply the
brakes several times to dry the
parts.
■Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alco-
hol wet wipes or a similar product.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of
the engine compartment. Doing
so may cause the electrical com-
ponents, etc. to catch fire.
■Precautions regarding the
exhaust pipes
Exhaust gasses cause the
exhaust pipes and rear bumper
diffusers to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be
careful not to touch the pipes and
diffusers until they have cooled
sufficiently, as touching hot
exhaust pipes and rear bumper
diffusers can cause burns.

containing silicone
(highly-polymerized silicon com-
pound) when cleaning any of
the electrical appliances such
as the air conditioning, all
switches and their surrounding
areas.
If silicon (highly-polymerized sil-
icon compound) contacts these
components, it may cause the
electrical appliances to malfunc-
tion.
■Preventing damage to leather
surfaces
Observe the following precautions
to avoid damage to and deteriora-
tion of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods of time. Park the vehicle in
the shade, especially during
summer.
●Do not place items made of
vinyl, plastic, or containing wax
on the upholstery, as they may
stick to the leather surface if the
vehicle interior heats up signifi-
cantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
water.
Vehicle systems such as the
audio system may be damaged if
water comes into contact with
electrical components such as the
audio system above or under the
floor of the vehicle. Water may
also cause the body to rust.

the windshield
Do not allow glass cleaner to con-
tact the lens. Also, do not touch
the lens. (
P.174)
■Cleaning the inside of the rear
window
●Do not use glass cleaner to
clean the rear window, as this
may cause damage to the rear
window defogger heater wires.
Use a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water to gently wipe
the window clean. Wipe the win-
dow in strokes running parallel
to the heater wires.
●Be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires.
■When cleaning the instrument
panel
When small grains of sand and so
forth have gotten into instrument
panel’s surface and cannot be
wiped away using a cloth, use a
clay bar without adding water.
