When using a car wash
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the fol-
lowing correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
●
Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle
while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not
stolen.)
●
Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart key sys-
tem. (→P. 99)

Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard
brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical clean-
ers.
Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.
●
Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after
driving for long distance in the hot weather.
●
Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
