Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care

Maintenance
The dust-proof sheet has a coating.
When cleaning, do not use a hard or
rough-surface cloth, or cleaning
detergent. In addition, if a chemical
solvent gets on the active driving
display, wipe it off immediately. The
dust-proof sheet could be damaged
and the surface coating could be
scratched. Use a fine, soft cloth such as
those used for cleaning eyeglasses.
NOTE
Use of compressed air when cleaning
the dust-proof sheet is recommended.
▼ Panel Maintenance
If a panel becomes soiled, wipe it off
with a soft cloth soaked in clean water
and thoroughly wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning,
use the following procedure:
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft
cloth soaked in a mild detergent
(approx. 5 %) diluted with water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water
and wrung out well.
NOTE
Be particularly careful when cleaning
shiny surface panels and metallic parts
such as plating as they can be
scratched easily.

▼ Cleaning the Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with
an oily, greasy, or waxy film, clean
them with glass cleaner. Follow the
directions on the container.
CAUTION
Do not scrape or scratch the inside
of the window glass. It could
damage the thermal filaments and
the antenna lines.
When washing the inside of the
window glass, use a soft cloth
dampened in lukewarm water, gently
wiping the thermal filaments and the
antenna lines.
Use of glass cleaning products could
damage the thermal filaments and
the antenna lines.
▼ Cleaning the Floor Mats
Rubber floor mats should be cleaned
with mild soap and water only.
WARNING
Do not use rubber cleaners, such as
tire cleaner or tire shine, when
cleaning rubber floor mats:
Cleaning the rubber floor mats with
rubber cleaning products makes the
floor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when
depressing the accelerator, brake, or
clutch (Manual transmission) pedal or
when getting in or out of the vehicle.
After removing the floor mats for
cleaning, always reinstall them securely
(page 3-46).
