WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions 
while refueling the vehicle. Failure 
to do so may result in death or 
serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and 
before opening the fuel door, 
touch an unpainted metal sur-
face to discharge any static 
electricity. It is important to dis-
charge static electricity before 
refueling because sparks result-
ing from static electricity can 
cause fuel vapors to ignite while 
refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the 
fuel tank cap and turn it slowly 
to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be 
heard when the f uel tank cap is 
loosened. Wait until the sound 
cannot be heard before fully 
removing the cap. In hot 
weather, pressurized fuel may 
spray out the filler neck and 
cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has 
not discharged static electricity 
from their body to come close to 
an open fuel tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that 
are harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling 
the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to 
ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or 
touch any person or object that 
is statically charged.
This may cause static electricity 
to build up, resulting in a possi-
ble ignition hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions 
to prevent fuel overflowing from 
the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle 
into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel 
nozzle automatically clicks off. 

2314-6. Driving tips

Driving
Perform the following according 
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a 
window or move a wiper that 
is frozen. Pour warm water 
over the frozen area to melt 
the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of 
the climate control system 
fan, remove any snow that 
has accumulated on the air 
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
 Check for and remove any 
excess ice or snow that may 
have accumulated on the 
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, 
chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud 
from the bottom of your shoes 
before getting in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, 
keep a safe distance between 
you and the vehicle ahead, and 
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.
 Turn automatic mode of the 
parking brake off. Otherwise,  the parking brake may freeze 
and not be able to be 
released automatically.
Also, avoid using the following as 
the parking brake may operate 
automatically, even if automatic 
mode is off.
• Brake hold system
Park the vehicle and shift the 
shift lever to P without setting 
the parking brake. The park-
ing brake may freeze up, pre-
venting it from being released. 
If the vehicle is parked without 
setting the parking brake, 
make sure to block the 
wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause 
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an 
accident.
 When the parking brake is in 
automatic mode, release the 
parking brake after shifting 
the shift lever to P. ( P.142)
 If the vehicle is parked without 
setting the parking brake, 
confirm that the shift lever 
cannot be moved out of P.
 If the vehicle is left parked 
with the brakes damp in cold 
temperatures, there is a pos-
sibility of the brakes freezing.
Use the correct tire chain size 
when mounting the tire chains.

2606-1. Maintenance and care
6-1.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.
■Automatic car washes
●Fold the mirrors before washing 
the vehicle. 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.
●In certain automatic car washes, 
the rear spoiler ma y interfere with  machine operation. This may pre-
vent the vehicle from being 
cleaned properly or result in dam-
age to the r
ear spoiler.
■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.
■When using a car wash
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 correction pro-
cedures to wash the vehicle:
●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 bat-
tery-saving mode to disable the 
smart key system. ( P.103)
■Wheels and wheel ornaments
●Remove any dirt immediately by 
using a neutral detergent.
●Wash detergent off with water 
immediately after use.
●To protect the paint from damage, 
make sure to obs erve the follow-
ing precautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or  abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent 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 slo wly and apply the 
brakes several times to dry the 
parts.

water-dampened soft cloth or 
synthetic chamois.
 Wipe the surface with a dry, 
soft cloth to remove any 
remaining moisture.
■Cleaning the areas with 
satin-finish metal accents
The metal areas use  a layer of real 
metal for the surface. It is necessary 
to clean them regularly. If dirty areas 
are left uncleaned for long periods 
of time, they may be difficult to 
clean.
 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.
