Brake

Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with wet brake pads or disc rotors,
causing noises or vibrations. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed,
drive slowly and apply the brakes several times to dry the parts.

Bumpers

Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
WARNING
■ When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may
cause the electrical components etc. to catch fire.
■ Precautions regarding the exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has
cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
