Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■When using a high pressure car wash
●Vehicles with rear view monitor sys-tem: When washing the vehicle, do not spray the camera or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high pressure washer. Shock applied from high pressure water may
cause the device to not operate normally.
●Do not spray water directly on the radar which is equipped behind the radar cover in the radiator grille.
Otherwise it may cause the device to be damaged.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or resin manufac-tured cover), connectors or the fol-
lowing parts. The parts may be damaged if they come into contact with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-cles body. Otherwise resin section,
such as moldings and bumpers, may be deformed and damaged. Also, do not continuously hold the
nozzle in the same place.
●Do not spray the lower part of the
windshield continuously. If water enters the air conditioning system intake located near the lower part of
the windshield, the air conditioning system may not operate correctly.
●Do not wash the underside of the vehicle using a high pressure car washer.
■Cleaning the canvas top (if equipped)
●Remove bird droppings from the
fabric immediately, as their corro- sive effect an make the damage in the outer canvas fabric.
●Do not use organic substances (gasoline, kerosene, benzene or
strong solvents), which may be toxic or cause damage.
●Do not use harsh or abrasive clean-ers as they may damage the top material.
●Do not use water-repellents, wax or other preservative finishes as they
may stain the top material.
●Never use a high-pressure washer
to clean the canvas top. Increased high water pressure may force water past the sealing.
●Do not use automatic car wash machine. It is possible to damage
the outer canvas fabric.
