corrosion. Depending on the type of finish, the wheels also may lose their lustre or appear
burnished. To avoid water stains, wipe the wheels dry with a cloth while they are still wet.
■ Fogged Exterior Light Lenses
The inside lenses of exterior lights (headlights, brake lights, etc.) may fog temporarily if you
have driven in the rain, or after the vehicle has been run through a car wash. Dew
condensation also may build up inside the lenses when there is a significant enough
difference between the ambient and inside lens temperatures (similar to vehicle windows
fogging up in rainy conditions). These conditions are natural processes, not structural design
problems in the exterior lights.
Lens design characteristics may result in moisture developing on the light lens frame surfaces.
This also is not a malfunction.
However, if you see large amounts of water accumulation, or large water drops building up
inside the lenses, have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.

Accessories and Modifications

Accessories

When installing accessories, check the following:
• Do not install accessories on the windscreen. They can obstruct your view and delay your
reaction to driving conditions.
• Do not install any accessories over areas marked SRS Airbag, on the sides or backs of the
front seats, on the sides of the rear seats, on front or side pillars, or near the side windows.
Accessories installed in these areas may interfere with proper operation of the vehicle's
airbags or may be propelled into you or another occupant if the airbags deploy.
• Be sure electronic accessories do not overload electrical circuits or interfere with proper
6
operation of your vehicle.

• Before installing any electronic accessory, have the installer contact a dealer for assistance.
If possible, have a dealer inspect the final installation.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle's handling,
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt
or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner's manual regarding accessories and
modifications.
