Deviation

The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by the earth’s
magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies depending on the geographic posi-

6-1.Maintenance and care

 Working from top to bottom, liber-

ally apply water to the vehicle body,
wheel wells and underside of the
vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.

 Wash the vehicle body using a

sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.

 For hard-to-remove marks, use car

wash soap and rinse thoroughly with
water.

 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the water-

proof coating deteriorates.

If water does not bead on a clean surface,
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.

■

Self-restoring coat

The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-

ing that is resistant to small surface

scratches caused in a car wash, etc.

●

The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from

when the vehicle is delivered from the

plant.

●

The restoration time differs depending on

the depth of the scratch and outside tem-

perature. The restoration time may

become shorter when the coating is

warmed by applying warm water.

●

Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,

etc. cannot be restored.

●

Do not use wax that contain abrasives.

■

Automatic car washes

●

Before washing the vehicle:

• Fold the mirrors

• Turn off the power back door (if

equipped)

Start washing from the front of the vehicle.
Extend the mirrors before driving.

●

Brushes used in automatic car washes

may scratch the vehicle surface and harm

your vehicle’s paint.

●

Rear spoiler may not be washable in

some automatic car washes. There may

also be an increased risk of damage to

vehicle.

■

High pressure car washes

●

Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash

to come within close proximity of open-

ing and closing part of the doors or side

windows, and do not continuously let

water hit at the same place.

●

Before using the car wash, check that the

fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed

properly.

■

Note for a smart access system with

push-button start

●

If the door handle becomes wet while the

electronic key is within the effective

range, the door may lock and unlock

repeatedly. In that case, follow the follow-

ing correction procedures to wash the

vehicle:

• Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or

more separate from the vehicle while the

vehicle is being washed. (Take care to

ensure that the key is not stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to battery-saving

mode to disable the smart access system

with push-button start. (

P.115)

●

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle

and a door handle becomes wet during a

car wash, a buzzer may sound outside the

vehicle and “Key Detected in Vehicle”

may be shown on the multi-information

display. To turn off the alarm, lock all the

doors.

■

Aluminum wheels

●

Remove any dirt immediately by using a

neutral detergent.

Cleaning and protecting the
vehicle exterior

The following precautions can extend the

effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-

ing.

• Remove any dirt, etc. from the front side

windows regularly.

• Do not allow dirt and dust to accumulate

on the windows for a long period.

Clean the windows with a soft, damp

cloth as soon as possible.

• Do not use wax or glass cleaners that

contain abrasives when cleaning the win-

dows.

• Do not use any metallic objects to

remove condensation build up.

●

When the water-repellent performance

has become insufficient, the coating can

be repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer.

WARNING

■

When washing the vehicle

Do not apply water to the inside of the

engine compartment. Doing so may

cause the electrical components, etc. to

catch fire.

■

When cleaning the windshield (vehi-

cles with rain-sensing windshield wip-

ers)

Set the wiper switch to off.

If the switch is in AUTO, the wipers may

operate unexpectedly in the following sit-

uations, and may result in hands being

caught or other serious injuries and

cause damage to the wiper blades.

Off

●

When the upper part of the windshield

where the raindrop sensor is located is

touched by hand

●

When a wet rag or similar is held close

to the raindrop sensor

●

If something bumps against the wind-

shield

●

If you directly touch the raindrop sen-

sor body or if something bumps into

the raindrop sensor

■

Precautions regarding the exhaust

pipe

Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to

become quite hot.

When washing the vehicle, be careful not

to touch the pipe until it has cooled suffi-

ciently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe

can cause burns.

■

Precautions regarding the rear

bumper

If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped

To prevent paint deterioration and

corrosion on the body and compo-

nents (aluminum wheels, etc.)

●

Wash the vehicle immediately in the

following cases:

• After driving near the sea coast

• After driving on salted roads

• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the

paint surface

• If dead insects, insect droppings or

bird droppings are present on the

• After driving in an area contaminated

with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron

powder or chemical substances

• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled

with dust or mud

• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline

are spilled on the paint surface

●

If the paint is chipped or scratched,

have it repaired immediately.

●

To prevent the wheels from corroding,

remove any dirt and store in a place

with low humidity when storing the

wheels.

■

Cleaning the exterior lights

●

Wash carefully. Do not use organic

substances or scrub with a hard brush.

This may damage the surfaces of the

may operate and the wiper blades may

be damaged.

■

When using a high pressure car wash

●

When washing the vehicle, do not let

water of the high pressure washer hit

directly or the vicinity of the camera.

Due to the shock from the high pres-

sure water, it is possible the device may

not operate as normal.

●

Do not bring the nozzle tip close to

boots (rubber or resin manufactured

cover), connectors or the following

parts. The parts may be damaged if

they come into contact with high-pres-

sure water.

• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts

●

Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 11.9

in. (30 cm) away from the vehicle

body. Otherwise resin section, such as

molding and bumpers, may be

deformed and damaged. Also, do not

continuously hold the nozzle in the

same place.

●

Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehi-

cle.

Doing so may cause electrical compo-

nents, etc. to malfunction or catch fire.

●

Do not get any of the SRS components

or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.

(

P.30)

An electrical malfunction may cause

the airbags to deploy or not function

properly, resulting in death or serious

injury.

●

Vehicles with wireless charger: Do not

let the wireless charger (
