Warning: Incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in reduced fuel economy, reduced driving comfort and poor handling, reduced tire life due to wear, reduced safety, and damage to the drive train.

Instructions: Check only when the tires are cold. Always use a tire pressure gauge. It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.

Perform cleaning in a manner appropriate to each component and its material.

Protecting the vehicle interior

 Remove dirt and dust using a vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty surfaces with a cloth dampened with lukewarm water.

 If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it off with a soft cloth dampened with neutral detergent diluted to approximately 1%.

Wring out any excess water from the cloth and thoroughly wipe off remaining traces of detergent and water.

There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge or brush to apply the foam.

Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possible.
