• When you paint or apply heat treat‐

partner.
• When you clean the motor compart‐
ment, do not use high pressure water
to wash. This may cause an electric
shock due to a discharge in high volt‐
age electricity, or damage the vehi‐
cle's electric system.
• Do not use, remodel, or install non-
genuine parts. This may damage the
electric power system.
