Precautions to observe whenusing wipers and washers
E00507601473
l If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers maytemporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position
or put the operation mode in OFF, and
then remove the ice or other deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af- ter the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before us-
ing them.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-zen onto the glass. The motor may burn
out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir isempty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re-
quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen- ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function and frost damage to the system compo- nents.Rear window demister

brightness suddenly changes, like the inlet or outlet of a tunnel.
• When turning steep curves.
• When the road surface is reflecting the
light shining from the direction opposite
to the running direction.
• Vehicle largely lurches when it is running
over steps or other irregularities of the
road surface.
• When the headlamp illumination is inade-
quate because of contaminated or deterio-
rated lenses or improperly aimed head- lamps.
• When the vehicle is leaning much to one
side due to heavy luggage on it or improp-
erly adjusted tyre pressures.
• When oncoming vehicles’ headlamps
shine the LDW camera.
• When the vehicle is equipped with non-
standard tyres (including excessively
worn tyres and temporary spare tyre), uses snow traction device (tyre chains), or has non-specified components such as a
modified suspension.
• When the windscreen is covered with rain
water, snow, dust, etc.CAUTIONl Follow the instructions given below to keep
your LDW in good operating conditions.
• Always keep the windscreen clean.

Genuine leather*
E00900601999
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a
soft cloth soaked in a mild soap and wa-
ter solution.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it out
well. Using this cloth, wipe off the deter-
gent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.
NOTEl If genuine leather is wet with water or is
washed in water, wipe off water as quickly
as possible with a dry, soft cloth.
If left damp, mildew may grow.
l Organic solvents such as benzine, kerosene,
alcohol and petrol, acid or alkaline solvents
may discolour the genuine leather surface. Be sure to use neutral detergents.
l Remove dirty patches or oil substances
quickly as they can stain genuine leather.
l The genuine leather surface may harden and
shrink if it is exposed to direct sun for long
hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible.
l When the temperature of the vehicle interior
rises in summer, vinyl products left on the
genuine leather seat may deteriorate and stick to the seat.Cleaning the exterior of
your vehicle E00900701264
If the following is left on your vehicle, it may cause corrosion, discolouration and stains, wash the vehicle as soon as possible.
l Seawater, road deicing products.
l Soot and dust, iron powder from facto-
ries, chemical substance (acids, alkalis, coaltar, etc.).
l Droppings from birds, carcasses of in-
sects, tree sap, etc.Washing
E00900903794
Chemicals contained in the dirt and dustpicked up from the road surface can damagethe paint coat and body of your vehicle if left
in prolonged contact.
Frequent washing and waxing is the best way to protect your vehicle from this damage.
This will also be effective in protecting it from environmental elements such as rain,snow, salt air, etc.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it
with water to remove dust. Next, using an ample amount of clean water and a car wash- ing brush or sponge, wash the vehicle from
top to bottom.
Use a mild car washing soap if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, bon-
net and other sections where dirt is likely to remain.CAUTIONl When washing the under side of your vehi-
cle or wheel, be careful not to injure your
hands.
l If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place
the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor before washing
the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will oper- ate in the presence of water spray on the
windscreen and may get damaged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the paint surface,
causing it to lose its gloss.
Scratches will be especially visible on darker
coloured vehicles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment. Do- ing so could have an adverse effect on the
engine startability.
Exercise caution also when washing the un-
derbody; be careful not to spray water into the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the vehicle. They may cause heat distortion and damage
to the vehicle resin parts and may result in flooding of the vehicle interior. Therefore;

CAUTION•Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm
or
more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur- face.
l After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re- duced braking performance. Also, there is a
possibility that they could freeze up or be- come inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the pillar
antenna, it can be retracted.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the roof
antenna, it can be removed.
• The wiper arms are secured in place with
tape.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers,
place the wiper switch lever in the “OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
Waxing
E00901001974
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
For information on how to use wax refer to the instruction manual of the wax.
CAUTIONl Waxes containing high abrasive compounds
should not be used.Polishing
E00901101151
The vehicle should only be polished if the
paintwork has become stained or lost its lus- tre. Do not polish parts with a mat coating
and the plastic bumpers. Doing so could cause stains or damage the finish.
Cleaning plastic parts
E00901301876
Use a sponge or chamois leather.
If a car wax adheres on a grey or black rough surface of the bumper, moulding or lamps, the surface becomes white. In such a case,
wipe it off using lukewarm water and soft cloth or chamois leather.
CAUTIONl Do not use a scrubbing brush or other hard
tools as they may damage the plastic part surface.
l Do not bring the plastic parts into contact
with petrol, light oil, brake fluids, engine oils, greases, paint thinners and sulphuric
acid (battery electrolyte) which may crack, stain or discolour the plastic parts.
If they touch the plastic parts, wipe them off with soft cloth, chamois or the like and anaqueous solution of neutral detergent then
immediately rinse the affected parts with
water.
