■ When using an automatic car wash
(vehicles with rain-sensing windshield

If the wiper switch is in AUTO, the wipers
may operate and the wiper blades may
be damaged.
■ When using a high pressure car wash
● When washing the vehicle, do not let
water of the high pressure washer hit

Due to the shock from the high pres-
sure water, it is possible the device
may not operate as normal.
● Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or resin manufactured
cover), connectors or the following
parts. The parts may be damaged if
they come into contact with high-pres-
sure water.
• Traction related parts
•Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
● Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 11.9
in. (30 cm) away from the vehicle
body. Otherwise resin section, such as
molding and bumpers, may be
deformed and damaged. Also, do not
continuously hold the nozzle in the
same place.
● Do not spray the lower part of the
windshield continuously. If water
enters the air conditioning system
intake located near the lower part of
the windshield, the air conditioning
system may not operate correctly.
● Do not wash the underside of the vehi-
cle using a high pressure car washer.
