CAUTION
■
When using a high pressure car wash
Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or resin manufactured
cover), connectors or the following parts. The parts may be damaged if they
come into contact with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
■
Cleaning the rear bumper cherry red stripe (tS models)
●
When using a high pressure car wash (pressure washer) to wash your
vehicle, keep the nozzle a safe distance (11.9 in. [30 cm] or more) from the
stripe. Do not use the high pressure car wash on the same area continu-
ously.
●
When using a heated or steam high pressure car wash or extra high-pres-
sure pressure washer, do not point the nozzle directly at the stripe, other-
wise the stripe may come off or be damaged.
●
Carefully read the label of a car wash soap before using it, as some car
wash soaps may adversely affect the adhesion strength of the stripe.
●
If dirt cannot be removed from the stripe, clean it off using a soft cloth
dampened with a neutral detergent diluted with water.
■
Avoiding damage to the under spoilers (tS models)
●
When cleaning the under spoilers, do not use organic substances such as
gasoline, paint thinner, acidic or alkaline solutions, or other detergent.
●
The under spoilers may deform if exposed to high temperatures or
extreme heat.
