culated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still dr awn into the vehicle
after closing the windows, it is recom-
mended that the air intake mode be set to outside air mode and the fan speed to
any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode
temporarily is recommended in pre-
venting dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the
vehicle when the outside air tempera-
ture is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on the temperature setting or the inside tem-
perature.
■When the outside temperature falls
to nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” switch is
pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-ing system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning
system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occur-ring:
• It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be se t to outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be
delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.

■When continuous operation is set
During continuous operation, the defog-
ger stops operating for 2 minutes after
every 15 minutes of continual operation. Even during the 2 minutes that opera-
tion stops, the operating light remains
illuminated. The rear window defogger will continue to operate in this cycle until
it is turned off.

■To prevent the windshield from
fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger switch during cool air operation in
extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield
can cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.
■When the outside rear view mir-ror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view
mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning sys- tem on longer than necessary when
the engine is off.

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.

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.
