num wheels, etc.)

or bird droppings are present on

nated with soot, oily smoke,
mine dust, iron powder or chem-
ical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily
soiled with dust or mud

gasoline are spilled on the paint
surface
● If the paint is chipped or
scratched, have it repaired

● To prevent the wheels from cor-
roding, remove any dirt and
store in a place with low humid-
ity when storing the wheels.
■ Cleaning the exterior lights
● Wash carefully. Do not use
organic substances or scrub

This may damage the surfaces
of the lights.

faces of the lights.

tion.

the wipers may operate and the
wiper blades may be damaged.
■ When using a high pressure
car wash
● When washing the vehicle, do
not spray the camera or its sur-
rounding area directly with a
high pressure washer. Shock

water may cause the device to
not operate normally.

the radar which is equipped
behind the radar sensor cover.
Otherwise it may cause the
device to be damaged.
● Do not bring the nozzle tip close
to boots (rubber or resin manu-
factured cover), or connectors
or the following parts.
The parts may be damaged if
they come into contact with
high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts

• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
● Keep the cleaning nozzle at
least 11.9 in. (30 cm) away from
the vehicle body. Otherwise

and bumpers, may be deformed
and damaged. Also, do not con-
tinuously hold the nozzle in the
same place.
