Vehicle care
High-pressure washing
• When using high-pressure washers, make sure to maintain sufficient distance from
the vehicle.
Insufficient clearance or excessive pressure can lead to component damage or wa
ter penetration.
• Do not spray the camera, sensors or its surrounding area directly with a high pres
sure washer. Shock applied from high pressure water may cause the device to not
operate normally.
• Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or plastic covers) or connectors as
they may be damaged if they come into contact with high pressure water.
CAUTION
• Water washing in the motor compartment including high pressure water washing
may cause the failure of electrical circuits located in the motor compartment.
• Never allow water or other liquids to come in contact with electrical/electronic com
ponents inside the vehicle as this may damage them.
NOTE
Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped)
Automatic car wash which uses rotating brushes should not be used as this can dam
age the surface of your vehicle. A steam cleaner which washes the vehicle surface at
high temperature may result the oil to adhere and leave stains that is difficult to re
move.
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber towel or sponge) when washing your vehicle and
dry with a microfiber towel. When you hand wash your vehicle, you should not use a
cleaner that finishes with wax. If the vehicle surface is too dirty (sand, dirt, dust, cont
aminant, etc.), clean the surface with water before washing the car.
Waxing
Wax the vehicle when water will no longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before waxing. Use a good quality liquid or paste
wax, and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect it and to
maintain its luster.
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials with a spot remover will usually strip the wax
from the finish. Be sure to re-wax these areas even if the rest of the vehicle does not
yet need waxing. Do not apply wax on embossed unpainted unit, as it may tarnish the
unit.
