MONITORING SYSTEM
*
Your vehicle may be equipped with a tire 
pressure monitoring system which monitors 
pressure in each pneumatic tire.
The pressure in each tire is dependant on 
several factors such as rate of tire rotation, tire 
deflection, amount of braking, ambient 
temperatures, etc. While driving in a normal 
manner, a typical passenger tire inflation 
pressure may increase by up to 40 kPa 
(0.4 bar) (6 lbf/in

In a similar manner, tire...

Cleaning & Vehicle Care
WASHING YOUR VEHICLE
Caution: Some high pressure cleaning 
systems are sufficiently powerful to penetrate 
door and window seals and damage rubbing 
strips and locking mechanisms. Never aim 
the water jet directly at the engine air intake, 
heater air intakes, body and sunroof seals, or 
at any components that might easily be 
damaged.
Read individual product warnings before 
using any car cleaning or wahine products.
Wash your vehicle frequently...

Body protection
After washing, inspect the paintwork for 
damage. Any stone chips, fractures or deep 
scratches in the bodywork should be repaired 
promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and 
can develop into major repair expense. Some 
exterior panels of your vehicle are made of 
aluminium which will not corrode in the same 
manner as steel. However, any damage should 
still receive prompt attention. Minor chips and 
scratches can be repaired with touch-up 
materials...
