id091200000700

Warning

•  Using a utility knife with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a utility knife.

Caution

•  If a door is opened or closed when all the window glass is closed, the resulting change in air pressure could cause the sealant to crack preventing the proper installation of the windshield. Keep the door glass opened until the windshield installation is completed.

•  If there is damage or cracking in the windshield glass repair prohibited area, replace the windshield. If the damage or cracking in the windshield glass repair prohibited area is repaired, it could affect the recognition of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) and the system may not operate normally. (with FSC)
