Plastic Part Maintenance

CAUTION

Do not use polishing agents.
Depending on the product ingredients,
they could cause discoloration, stains,
cracks or peeling of the coating.

Instrument Panel Top (Soft pad)
Maintenance

Extremely soft material is used for the soft
pad surface. If the soft pad surface is
rubbed harshly with a dry cloth, it could
result in the surface being damaged and
leaving white scratch marks.
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth

soaked in a mild detergent (approx.
5%) diluted with water.

2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using

a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.

Active Driving Display
Maintenance

*

The combiner and mirror surface have a
special coating. When cleaning it, do not
use a hard cloth, a cloth with a rough
surface, or cleaning detergent. Use a
fine-textured, soft cloth.
If a chemical solvent gets on the combiner
or mirror surface, wipe it off immediately.
Otherwise, they could be damaged and the
surface coating could be scratched.

Panel Maintenance

If a panel becomes soiled, wipe it off with
a soft cloth soaked in clean water and
thoroughly wrung out.
If some areas require further cleaning, use
the following procedure:
1. Wipe the soiled area with a soft cloth

soaked in a mild detergent (approx.
5 %) diluted with water.

2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using

a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.

NOTE

Be particularly careful when cleaning
shiny surface panels and metallic parts
such as plating as they can be scratched
easily.

Cleaning the Window Interiors

If the windows become covered with an
oily, greasy, or waxy film, clean them with
glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the
container.

CAUTION

Do not scrape or scratch the inside of the
window glass. It could damage the
thermal filaments and the antenna lines.

When washing the inside of the window
glass, use a soft cloth dampened in
lukewarm water, gently wiping the
thermal filaments and the antenna lines.
Use of glass cleaning products could
damage the thermal filaments and the
antenna lines.
