Do not overload the tires by exceeding the specified
vehicle capacity weight (as indicated by the label on
the base of the driver’s seat). Overloading the tires
can overheat them, poss ibly causing a blowout,
which could cause an accident and personal injury.
In addition, braking and stopping distances can be
significantly longer if the vehicle is overloaded.
WARNING!
Always close the sliding and rear doors when
driving.
Otherwise exhaust fumes could enter the vehicle
interior and poison you.

Reversing Aid SensorsUse a mild car wash detergent with plenty of water.
To prevent scratches, never apply strong force and use
only a soft, non-scratchy cloth when cleaning the
sensors. Do not attempt to wipe dirty sensors with dry,
coarse or hard cloths and do not scrub. You will
otherwise scratch or damage the sensors.
If you clean the sensors using a high-pressure cleaner,
only direct it at the sensors for a short period and
maintain a minimum distance of 4 in (10 cm) from the
sensors.
Window CleaningUse a window cleaning solution on all glass surfaces.
An automotive glass cleaner is recommended.
There are 2 steps in the front bumper. This makes it
easier to clean the windshield.
