CAUTION
■
To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (aluminum wheels etc.)
●
Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If you see coal tar or tree sap on the paint surface
• If you see dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings on the paint
• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust,
iron powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled in dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and petrol are spilled on the paint surface
●
If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
●
To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity when storing the wheels.
■
Protective film for side sill plates
Make sure to remove the protective film. Failure to do so may cause rust,
depending on conditions.
■
Cleaning the exterior lights
●
Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a hard brush.
This may damage the surfaces of the lights.
●
Do not apply wax on the surfaces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■
To prevent damage to the windshield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away from the windshield, pull the driver side
wiper arm upward first, and repeat for the passenger side. When returning
the wipers to their original position, do so from the passenger side first.
