CAUTION
!
● When washing the under side of your vehicle or
wheel, be careful not to injure your hands.
● If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place the
wiper switch lever in the "OFF" position to deacti-
vate the rain sensor before washing the vehicle. Oth-
erwise, the wipers will operate in the presence of
water spray on the windscreen and may get dam-
aged as a result.
● Refrain from excessively using a car wash as its
brushes may scratch the paint surface, causing it to
lose its gloss.
Scratches will be especially visible on darker col-
oured vehicles.
● Never spray or splash water on the electrical compo-
nents in the engine compartment, as this may
adversely affect engine starting.
Exercise caution also when washing the underbody;
be careful not to spray water into the engine com-
partment.
● Some types of hot water washing equipment apply
high pressure and heat to the vehicle. They may
cause heat distortion and damage to the vehicle resin
parts and may result in flooding of the vehicle inte-
rior. Therefore;
• Maintain a distance of approx. 50 cm or more
between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass, hold the
nozzle at a distance of more than 50 cm and at
right angles to the glass surface.
CAUTION
!
● After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal several
times in order to dry out the brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in reduced
braking performance. Also, there is a possibility that
they could freeze up or become inoperative due to
rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
● Using an automatic car wash, pay attention to the
following items, refering to the operation manual or
consulting a car wash operator. If the following pro-
cedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The wiper arm assembly is taped.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a rear deflector or
roof rails, consult a car wash operator before using
the car wash.
• If your vehicle has rain sensor wipers, place the
wiper switch lever in the "OFF" position to deacti-
vate the rain sensor.
