detected in the cabin, charging
cannot be performed. When a
door is opened and closed,
charging may be temporarily sus-
pended.
●While charging, the wireless char-
ger and the portable device will
become warm. This is not a mal-
function.
If a portable de vice becomes
warm while charging and charging
stops due to the protection func-
tion of the portable device, wait
until the portable device cools
down and charge it again.
●Depending on usage of the porta-
ble device, it may not be fully

closed, charging may be tempo-
rarily suspended.
●When charging, the wireless
charging device and portable
device will get warmer, however
this is not a malfunction. When a
portable device gets warm while
charging may stop due to the pro-
tection function on the portable
device side. In this case, when the
temperature of the portable drops
significantly, charge again.
The fan may start operating to
lower the temperature inside the
wireless charger, however this is
not a malfunction.
■Sound generated during opera-
tion
When the power su pply switch is
turned on or while a portable device

7-1.Maintenance and care
Working from top to bottom,
liberally apply water to the
vehicle body, wheel wells and
underside of the vehicle to
remove any dirt and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using
a sponge or soft cloth, such
as a chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks,
use car wash soap and rinse
thoroughly with water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the
waterproof coating deterio-
rates.
If water does not bead on a clean
surface, apply wax when the vehi-
cle body is cool.
■Self-restoring coat
The vehicle body has a self-restor-
ing coating that is resistant to small
surface scratches caused in a car
wash, etc.
●The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years
from when the vehicle is delivered
from the plant.
●The restoration time differs
depending on t he depth of the scratch and outside temperature.
The restoration time may become
shorter when the coating is
warmed by applying warm water.
●Deep scratches caused by keys,
coins, etc., cannot be restored.
●Do not use wax that contain abra-
sives.
■Automatic car washes
●Before washing the vehicle:
• Fold the mirrors
• Turn off the power back door (if equipped)
Start washing from the front of the
vehicle. Make sure to extend the
mirrors before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car
washes may scratch the vehicle
surface, parts (wheel, etc.) and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
●Rear spoiler may not be washable
in some automatic car washes.
There may also be an increased
risk of damage to vehicle.
●When the shift position needs to
be held in N, refer to P.239.
■High pressure car washes
As water may enter the cabin, do
not bring the nozzle tip near the
gaps around the doors or perimeter
of the windows, or spray these
areas continuously.
■Note for a smart key system
●If the door handle becomes wet
while the electronic key is within
the effective range, the door may
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that
case, follow the following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the
vehicle while the vehicle is being
washed. (Take care to ensure that
the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-
saving mode to disable the smart
key system. ( P.188)

cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
