Active Driving Display
Maintenance

*

The dust-proof sheet has a coating. When
cleaning, do not use a hard or
rough-surface cloth, or cleaning detergent.
In addition, if a chemical solvent gets on
the active driving display, wipe it off
immediately. The dust-proof sheet could
be damaged and the surface coating could
be scratched. Use a fine, soft cloth such as
those used for cleaning eyeglasses.

NOTE

Use of compressed air when cleaning the
dust-proof sheet is recommended.

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.

Cleaning the Floor Mats

Rubber floor mats should be cleaned with
mild soap and water only.

WARNING

Do not use rubber cleaners, such as tire
cleaner or tire shine, when cleaning rubber
floor mats:

Cleaning the rubber floor mats with rubber
cleaning products makes the floor mats
slippery.
This may cause an accident when
depressing the accelerator, brake, or clutch
(Manual transmission) pedal or when
getting in or out of the vehicle.

After removing the floor mats for
cleaning, always reinstall them securely
(page 3-45).
