When using a high pressure car wash

●

When washing the vehicle, do not let

directly or the vicinity of the camera. 

Due to the shock from the high pres-

sure water, it is possible the device may 

not operate as normal.

●

Do not spray water directly on the 

radar which is equipped behind the 

emblem. Otherwise it may cause the 

device to be damaged.

●

Do not bring the nozzle tip close to 

boots (rubber or resin manufactured

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 

moldings 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 sys-

tem intake located near the lower part of

tem may not operate correctly.

●

Do not wash the underside of the vehi-

cle using a high pressure car washer.
