PRECAUTION
Water Repellent Coated Glass (Models with Water Repellent Coated Glass)
The effect of the water repellent coating lasts only for a limited duration. To make the water repellent coating last longer, observe the following precautions:
If the front door glass is dirty, clean it with a soft and wet cloth as soon as possible.
Do not use detergent containing an abrasive compound or wax to clean the front door glass.
If dirt is on the glass, do not attempt to clean it with an automatic car-wash or by opening and closing the front door glass repeatedly.
Do not attempt to scrape off ice built up on the front door glass using a metal scraper or similar tool.
