CAUTION
■When cleaning the windshield (vehicles with the rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●When the upper part of the windshield where the raindrop sensor is located is
touched by hand
●When a wet rag or similar is held close to the raindrop sensor
●If something bumps against the windshield
●If you directly touch the raindrop sensor body or if something bumps into the
raindrop sensor
■Caution about the exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot. Therefore, do not
touch it while the engine is running or immediately after turning the engine off.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the exhaust pipe until it has
cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers
may operate unexpectedly in the following
situations, and may result in hands being
caught or other serious injuries and cause
damage to the wiper blades.Off
