make sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions.
• Do not use acidi c, alkaline or
abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use det ergent on the
wheels when they are hot, such
as after driving or parking in hot
weather
■Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if the vehicle is
parked with wet brake pads or disc
rotors, causing them to stick. Before
parking the vehicle after it is
washed, drive slow ly and apply the
brakes several times to dry the
parts.
■Bumpers

■Front side windows water-
repellent coating
●The following precautions can
extend the effectiveness of the
water-repellent coating.
• Remove any dirt, etc., from the front side windows regularly.
• Do not allow dirt and dust to accu- mulate on the windows for a long
period. Clean the windows with a
soft, damp cloth as soon as possi-
ble.
• Do not use wax or glass cleaners
that contain abrasives when
cleaning the windows.
• Do not use any metallic objects to
remove condensation build up.
■Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with
an approximately 5% solution of
neutral detergent and water to
clean the dirt off.
●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft
cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alco-
hol wet wipes or a similar product.

Maintenance and care
install them to the replace-
ment wiper insert.
5 Insert the wiper insert starting
from the claw at the center of
the wiper blade. Pass the
wiper insert through the 3
claws so that it sticks out
from the stopper, and then
pass the wiper insert through
the final remaining claw.
Applying a small amount of washer
fluid to the wiper insert can make it
easier to insert the claws into the
grooves.

claws are fitted in the
grooves of the wiper insert.
If the wiper blade claws are not fit-
ted in the grooves of the wiper
insert, grasp the wiper insert and
slide it back and fo rth multiple times
to insert the claws into the grooves.
