Break-resistant security glass

The glass installed on all side windows
and the rear window is designed to of-
fer resistance to breakage and vandal-
ism. Each break-resistant window con-
tains several layers of clear synthetic
plastic film sandwiched between the in-
ner and outer glass panes. In addition,
another film is applied to the inner sur-
face of the glass (facing the passenger
compartment). This film prevents the
glass, if shattered, from spreading into
the passenger compartment.
Please note the following precautions
regarding this inner glass surface film:

1 The film is not scratch-resistant.

Avoid contact with sharp objects
which may break through or cut the
film

2 Clean the glass with water. If ineffec-

tive, you may use regular household
window cleaner; wipe the cleaner off
immediately.
Do not use window cleaners contain-
ing solvents or abrasives, as these
may scratch the film

3 Do not apply any self-adhesive la-

bels, or labels with tape to the inner
surface

4 Do not apply window tint film to the

inner window surface

5 If frost or ice builds up on the inner

surface in cold, high-humidity cli-
mates, do not use a scraper or an
"ice-removing spray." Start the en-
gine and refer to the instructions on
defrosting the door windows.
