Caution about the exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers

hot.

When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipes and diffusers until they

have cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers

can cause burns.

Set the wiper switch to off.

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

may operate unexpectedly in the following
