4627-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
• If the vehicle becomes heavily
soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gas-
oline are spilled on the paint sur-
face
●If the paint is chipped or scratched,
have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corrod-
ing, remove any dirt and store in a
place with low humidity when stor- ing the wheels.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic
substances or scrub with a hard
brush. This may damage the surfaces of
the lights.
●Do not apply wax to the surfaces of
the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■To prevent damage to the wind-shield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away
from the windshield, pull the driver side wiper arm upward first, and
repeat for the passenger side. When
returning the wipers to their original position, do so from the passenger
side first.
■When using an automatic car
wash (vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
Set the wiper switch to the off posi-
tion. If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”,
the wipers may operate and the wiper blades may be damaged.
■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 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 c onditioning system
intake located near the lower part of the windshield, the air conditioning
system may not operate correctly.

■Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in perfor- mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some
important clues are:
●Engine missing, stumbling or pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-
ever, water dripping from the air con- ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monox-
ide leak. Drive with the windows open
and have the exhaust system checked immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire
wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven
straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension
movement

feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal
(vehicles with a manual transmission),
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-ally higher than normal ( P.89, 93)
