CAUTION

  • Do not clean the inside of the rear window glass or quarter glass with a cleaner or use a scraper to remove foreign deposits, as this may damage the antenna elements.

  • To avoid damaging the rear glass antenna, never use sharp tools or window cleaners containing abrasives to clean the window. Clean the inside surface of the rear window with a piece of soft cloth.
  • When attaching stickers to the inside surface of the rear window, be careful not to damage the rear window antenna.
  • Do not place sharp tools near the rear glass antenna.
  • Tinted rear window glass may affect the proper operation of the antenna.
