2906-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint
surface
●If the paint is chipped or
scratched, have it repaired
immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from cor-
roding, remove any dirt and
store in a place with low humid-
ity when storing the wheels.
■Protective film for side sill
plates (if equipped)
Make sure to remove the protec-
tive film. Failure to do so may
cause rust, depending on condi-
tions.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use
organic substances or scrub
with a hard brush. This may
damage the surfaces of the
lights.
●Do not apply wax to the sur-
faces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the
lenses.
■To prevent damage to the
windshield 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 came ra or its sur-
rounding 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 manu-
factured cover), connectors or
the following 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 11.9 in. (30 cm) away from
the vehicle body. Otherwise
resin section, s uch 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 conditioning system may not
operate correctly.
●Do not wash the underside of
the vehicle using a high pres-
sure car washer.

2926-1. Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner.
 Wipe off any excess dirt and
dust with a soft cloth damp-
ened with diluted detergent.
Use a diluted water solution of
approximately 5% neutral wool
detergent.
Wring out any excess water
from the cloth and thoroughly
wipe off all remaining traces
NOTICE
●Do not use a chemical agent
containing silicone
(highly-polymerized silicon com-
pound) when cleaning any of
the electrical appliances such
as the air conditioning, all
switches and their surrounding
areas.
If silicon (highly-polymerized sil-
icon compound) contacts these
components, it may cause the
electrical appliances to malfunc-
tion.
■Preventing damage to leather
surfaces
Observe the following precautions
to avoid damage to and deteriora-
tion of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods 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 signifi-
cantly.
■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 system 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 con-
tact the lens. Also, do not touch
the lens. (
P.174)
■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 defogger heater wires.
Use a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water to gently wipe
the window clean. Wipe the win-
dow 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 sur-
face.
Cleaning the leather areas

2946-1. Maintenance and care
tape.
If liquid is spilled, lightly pat
the area with a tissue paper or
similar to soak up the liquid.
 When mud, coffee, etc., has
dried on the Ultrasuede
®
upholstery, remove it by lightly
brushing 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 proce-
dures, remove it by performing
the following:
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 (approximately 104°F
[40°C]) and squeezed out.
Do not wipe too hard. Doing so may
make the Ultrasuede® upholstery
surface 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 damp-
ened 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
multiple angles using the
cloth dampened with ben-
zene, soak up the oil and
benzene that floats up by pat-
ting the area with a dry cloth.
3 If the Ultrasuede
® upholstery
surface becomes uneven,
lightly brush it with a soft
brush.
Liquid stains
NOTICE
■When soaking up spilled liq-
uids
Do not press down too firmly with
the cloth, tissue paper etc., as
doing so may cause the liquid to
further penetrate the material,
making soaking up the liquid more
difficult.

ItemsParts and toolsWARNING
The engine compartment contains
many mechanisms and fluids that
may move suddenly, become hot,
or become electrically energized.
To avoid death or serious injury,
observe the following precautions.
■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 mani-
fold, etc. right a fter driving as

fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compart-
ment.
●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
working on the battery. It con-
tains poisonous and corrosive
sulfuric acid.
■When working near the elec-
tric cooling fans or radiator
grille
Be sure the engine switch is off.
With the engine switch in ON, the
electric cooling fans may auto-
matically start to r un if the air con-
ditioning is on an d/or the coolant
temperature is high. ( P.308)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent
flying or falling material, fluid
spray, etc. from getting in your
