This vehicle is equipped with an 
event data recorder (EDR). The 
main purpose of an EDR is to 
record, in certain crash or near 
crash-like situations, such as an 
air bag deployment or hitting a 
road obstacle, data that will 
assist in understanding how a 
vehicle’s systems performed. 
The EDR is designed to record 
data related to vehicle dynamics 
and safety systems for a short 
period of time, typically 30 sec-
onds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is 
designed to record such data 
as:
• How various systems in your  vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and  passenger safety belts were

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.
Cleaning and protect-
ing the vehicle exte-
rior
Perform cleaning in a man-
ner appropriate to each 
component and its material.
