Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior
●Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any di rt
and dust.
● Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughly
with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.
■ Self-restoring coat
The vehicle body has a self-restoring coating that is resistant to small surface
scratches caused in a car wash, etc.
● The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from when the vehicle is delivered from the
plant.
● The restoration time differs depending on the depth of the scratch and out-
side temperature.
The restoration time may become shorter when the coating is war med by
applying warm water.
● Deep scratches caused by keys, coins, etc., cannot be restored.
● Do not use wax that contain abrasives.
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in
prime condition:

■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt battery produces hydrogen gas whic h is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore, observe the following precautio ns before
recharging:
● If recharging with the 12-volt battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to dis-
connect the ground cable.
● Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and dis-
connecting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.

key to lock/unlock the doors.
● Start the hybrid system with the power switch in ACCESSORY mode. The
hybrid system may not start with the power switch turned off. H owever, the
hybrid system will operate normally from the second attempt.
● The power switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the vehicle will return the power switch mode to t he status it
was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure t o turn off
the power switch before disconnect the 12-volt battery. Take ex tra care
