2846-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■Protective film for side sill plates
(if equipped)
Make sure to remove the protective film. Failure to do so may cause rust,
depending on conditions.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic
substances or scrub with a hard
brush. This may damage the sur- faces 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 a high pressure car wash
●When washing the vehicle, do not
spray the camera or its surrounding 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
• Suspension parts
• Steering parts
• Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-
cle 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 condi- tioning system may not operate cor-
rectly.
●Do not wash the underside of the
vehicle using a high pressure car
washer.

2866-1. Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner.
 Wipe off any excess dirt and dust
with a soft cloth dampened with
diluted detergent.
Use a diluted water solution of approxi-
mately 5% neutral wool detergent.
 Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
all remaining traces of detergent.
 Wipe the surface with a dry, soft
cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
Allow the leather to dry in a
shaded and ventilated area.
NOTICE
●Do not use a chemical agent con-
taining silicone (highly-polymerized
silicon compound) when cleaning any of the electrical appliances
such as the air conditioning, all
switches and their surrounding areas.
If silicon (highly-polymerized silicon
compound) contacts these compo-
nents, it may cause the electrical appliances to malfunction.
■Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to
avoid damage to and deterioration of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods 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 significantly.
■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 sys-
tem above or under the floor of the vehicle. Water may also cause the
body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of the
windshield
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens. Also, do not touch the lens.
(P.169)
■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 defog-
ger heater wires. Use a cloth damp-
ened with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the
window 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. Forcibly trying
to wipe the surface clean with a brush or sponge may scratch the surface or
fragments of the cloth may be left in
the surface.
Cleaning the leather areas

2886-1. Maintenance and care
If liquid is spilled, lightly pat the
area with a tissue paper or simi-
lar to soak up the liquid.
 When mud, coffee, etc., has
dried on the Ultrasuede® uphol-
stery, remove it by lightly brush-
ing the area with a soft brush or
similar.
We recommend using a vacuum
cleaner to clean up the area after the
above has been performed.
When a stain cannot be removed
using the above procedures,
remove it by performing the follow-
ing:
1 Lightly wipe the stained area
from the outside to the inside
from multiple angles with a soft
cloth that has been dampened
with lukewarm water (approxi-
mately 40°C [104°F]) and
squeezed out.
Do not wipe too hard. Doing so may
make the Ultrasuede® upholstery sur-
face become uneven. Also, only use a clean cloth.
2 If the Ultrasuede® upholstery
surface becomes uneven, lightly
brush it with a soft brush.
3 Allow the surface to dry com-
pletely.
You will need the following items:
 A cloth that has been dampened
with benzene
 A dry cloth
1 Using a dry cloth or tissue
paper, wipe away as much of
the oil as possible to prevent the
stained area from expanding.
2 After patting the area from the
outside to the inside from multi-
ple angles using the cloth damp-
ened with benzene, soak up the
oil and benzene that floats up by
patting the area with a dry cloth.
3 If the Ultrasuede® upholstery
surface becomes uneven, lightly
brush it with a soft brush.
Liquid stainsNOTICE
■When soaking up spilled liquids
Do not press down too firmly with the
cloth, tissue paper etc., as doing so may cause the liquid to further pene-
trate the material, making soaking up
the liquid more difficult.

ItemsParts and tools

2926-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
WA R N I N G
■When working on the engine
compartment
●Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fans and
engine drive belt.
●Be careful not to touch the engine,
radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil
and other fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the engine compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the
battery. Fuel and battery fumes are
flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when work-
ing on the battery. It contains poi- sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and dam-
age painted surfaces. If fluid gets
on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water
immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, con- sult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is off.
With the engine switch in ON, the electric cooling fans may automati-
cally start to run if the air conditioning
is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. (P.298)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil-
ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive
engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to
go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.
