the vehicle has been changed due 
to modifications
●When the windshield is dirty, 
fogged up, cracked or damaged
●When the ambient temperature is 
high or low
●When mud, water, snow, dead 
insects, foreign matter, etc., is 
attached to the front of the sensor
●When in inclement weather such 
as heavy rain, fog, snow, or a 
sandstorm
●When water, snow, dust, etc. is 
thrown up in front of the vehicle, or 
when driving through mist or 
smoke
●When the headlig hts are not illu-
minated while driving in the dark, 
such as at night o r when in a tun-
nel
●When the lens of a headlight is 
dirty and illumination is weak
●When the headlights are mis-
aligned
●When a headlight is malfunction-
ing
●When the headlights of another 
vehicle, sunlight, or reflected light 
shines directly into the front cam-
era
●When the brightness of the sur-
rounding area changes suddenly
●When driving near a TV tower, 
broadcasting station, electric 
power plant, radar equipped vehi-
cles, etc., or other location where 
strong radio waves or electrical 
noise may be present
●When a wiper blade is blocking 
the front camera
●When in a location or near objects 
which strongly reflect radio waves, 
such as the following:
• Tunnels
• Truss bridges
• Gravel roads
• Rutted, snow-covered roads
• Walls
• Large trucks
• Manhole covers
• Guardrail
• Metal plates
●When near a step or protrusion
●When a detectable vehicle is nar-
row, such as a small mobility vehi-
cle
●When a detectable vehicle has a 
small front or rear end, such as an 
unloaded truck
●When a detectable vehicle has a 
low front or rear  end, such as a 
low bed trailer
●When a detectable vehicle has 
extremely high ground clearance
WARNING
■Front camera installation area 
on the windshield
If the system determines that the 
windshield may be fogged up, it 
will automatically operate the 
heater to defog the part of the 
windshield around the front cam-
era. When cleaning, etc., be care-
ful not to touch the area around 
the front camera until the wind-
shield has cooled sufficiently, as 
touching it may cause burns.

When the seat heater is on, the 
indicator illumina tes on the seat 
heater switch.

2926-1. Maintenance and care
Remove dirt using a 
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 
NOTICE
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solu-
tions, such as thinner, benzene, 
and alcohol
• Steering wheel: Organic sub- stances, such as thinner, and 
cleaner that contains alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish 
cleaner. The instrument panel’s 
or other interior part’s painted 
surface may be damaged.
■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.185)
■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 
or antenna. Use a cloth damp-
ened with lukewarm water to 
gently wipe the window clean. 
Wipe the window in strokes run-
ning parallel to the heater wires 
or antenna.
●Be careful not to scratch or 
damage the heater wires or 
antenna.
