erally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside
of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.

●Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.)
or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is
not stolen.)

ing mode to disable the smart entry & start system. ( P.141)
