Do not use the windshield defogger switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.
■When the outside rear view mir-ror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view
mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.

6-1.Mainte nance a nd care
zWorking from top to bottom, lib-
erally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside
of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
zWash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
zFor hard-to-remove marks, use
car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
zWipe away any water.
zWax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean sur-
face, apply wax when the vehicle body
is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Before washing the vehicle:
• Fold the mirrors.
Start washing from the front of the vehi-
cle. Extend the mirrors before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car
washes may scratch the vehicle sur-
face, parts (wheel, etc.) and harm
your vehicle’s paint.
●In certain automatic car washes, the
rear spoiler may interfere with
machine operation. This may prevent
the vehicle from being cleaned prop-erly or result in damage to the rear
spoiler.
■High pressure car washes
As water may enter the cabin, do not
bring the nozzle tip near the gaps
around the doors or perimeter of the
windows, or spray these areas continu-
ously.
■When using a car wash
If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In that case, follow the fol-
lowing correction procedures to wash
the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.)
or more separate from the vehicle
while the vehicle is being washed.
(Take care to ensure that the key is
not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry &
start system. (→P.110)

make sure to observe the following
precautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive
detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels
when they are hot, such as after driv-
ing or parking in hot weather

6-2. Matte paint care guide (if equipped)
Maintenance and care
Take care in order to not damage
the painted surfaces.
When minor damage occurs to a
vehicle with a normal clear coat, it
can be repaired by polishing it or
using touch up paint. In contrast, a
matte clear coat cannot be repaired
using these methods.
If these methods are used the
unevenness of the matte clear coat
may be removed or filled in. In
either case, the surface will
become more flat, making it appear
more glossy, possibly permanently
losing its matte properties.
In order to maintain the matte finish
when repairing damage, it will be
necessary to repaint the entire part.zVehicle paint can be deteriorated
by ultraviolet rays, rain, and
other natural factors. In order to
ensure the life of the paint, it is
recommended that the vehicle
be stored in a paved garage
which blocks the paint from
direct sunlight, rain, wind, and
ground moisture.
zIf a vehicle cover is to be used,
use one with an inner side which
is fleece, non-woven, etc. as it is
less likely to damage the paint.
Even when using a vehicle
cover, storing the vehicle in a
paved garage is recommended.
■Using a vehicle cover
●Use an appropriately sized vehicle
cover for your vehicle. For details,

●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and dam-
age painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water
immediately. If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is OFF. With the engine switch in ON, the electric cooling fan may automatically

or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil-ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.
