If the residual silicone remains in the vicinity of the electrical equipment after the spray has been used, the vaporized silicone stands around the electrical equipment and it may adhere to electrical contact. After using the spray, be sure to wipe the silicone off with a cloth.
Even when using the spray to the place away from the electrical equipment, the droplet of the spray may be splashed to the periphery. Use as small amount of spray as possible, and take care not to splash the silicone to the periphery.
The “silicone” used in this section refers to silicon polymer.
Do not attach stickers in the prohibited area on the windshield as follows. In addition, there must be no oil film, dirt or scratch in the prohibited area that obstructs the visibility of each stereo camera. Clean the windshield glass if oil film, dirt or fogging is found on the glass, and repair or replace if the windshield is scratched. The vehicle inspection label that is required to be attached on the windshield should be attached on the specified position. If stickers or windshield-related issues adversely affect the visibility of the camera, the functions of HBA and EyeSight may not work properly.
Do not attach any foreign matter such as oil and fluid.
When cleaning the inner side of the windshield glass, be careful not to touch the lens of the stereo camera. Take care so that the glass cleaner is not applied to the lens. Before starting the operation, cover the cover assembly stereo camera opening with dust-free paper such as copy paper to avoid interference with the camera lens, and attach the paper using tape while being careful not to let the adhesive surface contact the glass surface. Be sure to remove the paper after the procedure. If touched, replace the camera assembly.
When replacing the windshield glass, be sure to replace the part for the EyeSight.
