NOTICE

■

To protect your vehicle±s painted surfaces

Do not use organic cleaners such as benzene or gasoline.

■

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.

Detachable pole antenna installation and removal precautions

●

Before driving, ensure that the antenna is installed.

●

When the antenna is removed, such as before entering an automatic car wash,

make sure to store it in a suitable place so as not to lose it. Also, before driving,

make sure to reinstall the antenna in its original position.

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.

■

When using an automatic car wash (vehicles with the rain-sensing windshield

wipers only)

Set the wiper switch to the off position.

If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers

may operate and the wiper blades may be

damaged.
