• When washing the underside of the vehicle,
be careful not to direct water or steam from a
high-pressure cleaner toward the steering
shaft, the dust covers on the steering sys-
tem, or the dust covers on the front axle for a
long time at close range. Doing so could
cause a malfunction.
• When stepping onto the bumper to clean the
windshield, do not hold the wiper arms.
Doing so could cause a wiper malfunction.
• Do not use a vehicle-cleaning brush to clean
the plastic lenses of the turn-signal lamps. A
brush could scratch the lenses. Wash the
lenses with water, then wipe them with a soft
cloth.
• Do not direct steam from a high-pressure
cleaner into the outside air inlets. Water
would get into the cab, and the wiper motor
could malfunction.
• When the vehicle is washed, braking perfor-
mance can be reduced by water entering the
brake drums or splashed over the brake
discs. In this event, drive slowly with light
pressure on the brake pedal to dry out the
brakes. Pay attention to nearby vehicles
while doing so.
• There are ABS electric wiring located behind
the wheels. When removing snow or ice hav-
ing adhered to the wheel areas after driving
on snow-covered roads, be careful not to
damage the ABS components and wiring.
Also, avoid exposing the ABS components
and wiring to high-pressure water or cleaner
steam as the system could be damaged and
not operate properly.
