Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Plastic Part Maintenance
 












 When cleaning the plastic lenses of
the lights, do not use petrol, paraffi n,
rectifi ed spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolour or damage the
surfaces resulting in a signifi cant loss
in functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, fl ush with water
immediately.
 


 If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fl uids such as petrol,
oil, engine coolant, or battery fl uid, it
could cause discolouration, staining,
or paint peeling. Wipe off any such
chemical agents or fl uids using a soft
cloth immediately.
 


 High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended period
of time, it could deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.
 


 Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
 


 In addition, do not use an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result
in deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.
Interior Care
WARNING
Do not spray water in the cabin:
Splashing water on electrical parts
such as the audio unit and switches
is dangerous as it could cause a
malfunction or a fi re.
Instrument panel Precautions
Prevent caustic solutions such as perfume
and cosmetic oils from contacting the
instrument panel. They will damage and
discolour the instrument panel. If these
solutions get on the instrument panel, wipe
them off immediately.
CAUTION
Do not use glazing agents.
Glazing agents contain ingredients
which may cause discolouration,
wrinkling, cracks and peeling.
Instrument panel top (soft pad)
 




 Extremely soft material is used for the
soft pad surface. When cleaning, it is
recommended that you use a clean towel
dampened in a mild detergent to remove
soiling.
 


 If the soft pad surface is rubbed harshly,
it could result in the surface being
damaged leaving white scratch marks.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
WARNING
Do not adhere the speed restriction
sticker to the padded area on the
steering wheel:
Adhering the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering
wheel is dangerous because the air
bag may not operate (deploy) normally
resulting in serious injury. In addition,
do not adhere the sticker to areas where
warning lights or the speedometer
cannot be viewed.
14. When the tyre infl ates to the specifi ed
tyre infl ation pressure, turn the air
compressor switch OFF, turn the sleeve
of the injection hose to the left, and pull
it out of the tyre valve. Turn the sleeve
of the injection hose to the left, and pull
it out of the tyre valve.
15. Remove the compressor hose from the
injection valve of the bottle. After that,
install the injection hose to the injection
valve of the bottle to prevent leakage of
any remaining sealant.
CAUTION
The remaining sealant in the hose may
spray out when the hose is removed.
Remove the hose carefully because you
may not be able to remove the sealant
contacting clothing or other objects.
16. Install the tyre valve cap.
17. Put the puncture tyre repair kit into the
boot/luggage compartment.
18. Start driving immediately to spread the
sealant in the tyre.
CAUTION
Carefully drive the vehicle at a speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) or less. If the vehicle
is driven at a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph)
or more, the vehicle may vibrate.
NOTE
(With Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
If the tyre is not properly infl ated, the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light will illuminate (page 4-40 ).
19. After driving the vehicle for about 10
minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect
the air compressor to the tyre using
Step 9 of the procedure, and check the
tyre infl ation pressure using the tyre
pressure gauge on the air compressor. If
the tyre infl ation pressure is lower than
the specifi ed tyre infl ation pressure,
turn the air compressor ON and wait
until it reaches the specifi ed tyre
infl ation pressure.
