WARNING
OOnly put a forward-facing child restraint system on the front seat
when unavoidable. When installing a forward-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat, move the
seat as far back as possible. Failing to do so may result in death or seri-ous injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).
ODo not allow the child to lean
his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front or rear pillars, or roof
side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield air-bags deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side air-bags and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
OWhen a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center
of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could
fall off the child’s shoulder.
OUse a child restraint system suit- able to the age and size of the child and install it to the rear seat.
OIf the driver’s seat interferes with the child restraint system and pre-
vents it from being attached cor- rectly, attach the child restraint system to the right-hand rear seat
(left-hand drive vehicles) or the left- hand rear seat (right-hand drive vehicles).
OAdjust the front passenger seat so that it does not interfere with the
child restraint system.

nents or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. ( P.40) An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
OVehicles with wireless charger:Do not let the wireless charger
( P.433) get wet. Failure to do so may cause the charger to become hot and cause burns or could cause
electric shock resulting in death or serious injury.
QCleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use a polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
QCleaning detergents
ODo not use the following types of
detergent, as they may discolor the vehicle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or gaso-line, alkaline or acidic solutions,
dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alco-
hol
ODo not use a polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or other interior part’s painted surface
may be damaged.
QPreventing damage to leather
surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces:
ORemove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
ODo not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of
time. Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
ODo 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.
QWater 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.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
WARNING
QWhen fixing the flat tire
OStop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
ODo not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately
after the vehicle has been driven. After the vehicle has been driven,
the wheels and the area around the brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands,
feet or other body parts may result in burns.
OConnect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle. If the hose is not prop-
erly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur as sealant may be sprayed out.
OIf the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk
that the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure.
OAfter inflation of the tire has com-pleted, the sealant may splatter when the hose is disconnected or
some air is let out of the tire.
OFollow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not followed, the sealant may spray
out.
OKeep back from the tire while it is
being repaired, as there is a chance of it bursting while the repair opera-tion is being performed. If you
notice any cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the repair operation
immediately.
OThe repair kit may overheat if oper-
ated for a long period of time. Do not operate the repair kit continu-ously for more than 40 minutes.
OParts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful han-
dling the repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part connecting the bottle and the
compressor. It will be extremely hot.
ODo not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the one indicated. If the sticker
is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may
prevent the SRS airbag from oper- ating properly.
QDriving to spread the liquid seal-ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
ODrive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.
