Usable portable devices

Qi standard wireless charge standard 

can be used on compatible devices. 

However, compatibility with portable 

devices that comply with Qi Ver. 1.0, 

1.2.4 and later versions is not guaranteed.

Starting with mobile phones and smart-

phones, it is aimed for low power electri-

cally supplied portable devices of no 

more than 5W.

However, charging exceeding 5 W is 

supported by the following portable 

devices.

• Charging at 7.5 W or less is supported 

by iPhone’s that support 7.5 W charging.

• Charging at 10 W or less is supported by 

portable devices compliant with EPP out-

put as defined by WPC standard 

Ver1.2.4.

When covers and accessories are 

attached to portable devices

Do not charge in situations where cover 

and accessories not able to handle Qi are 

attached to the portable device. Depending 

on the type of cover (including for certain 

genuine manufacturer parts) and acces-

sory, it may not be possible to charge. 

When charging is not performed even with 

the portable device placed on the charge

While charging, noise enters the AM 

radio

Front: The charging frequency is auto-

matically changed to reduce the noise. 

When automatically seeking AM radio 

stations, charging will be suspended to 

prevent charging noise from being 

detected as a radio station. Charging will 

resume automatically when seek tuning is 

stopped.

Rear (if equipped): Turn off the wireless 

charger and confirm that the noise has 

decreased. If the noise decreases, contin-

uously pushing the power supply switch 

of the wireless charger for 2 seconds, the 

frequency of the charger can be changed 

and the noise can be reduced. Also, on 

that occasion, the operation indicator 

light will flash orange 2 times.

iPhone’s use a particular frequency for 

rapid charging. Depending on the iOS 

version, rapid charging may not be per-

formed while switching frequencies.

Important points of the wireless charger

If the electronic key cannot be detected 

within the vehicle interior, charging can-

not be done. When the door is opened 

and closed, charging may be temporarily 

suspended.

When charging, the wireless charging 

device and portable device will get 

warmer, however this is not a malfunc-

tion.

When a portable device gets warm while 

charging, charging may stop due to the 

protection function on the portable 

device side. In this case, when the tem-

perature of the portable device drops 

significantly, charge again.

The fan may start operating to lower the 
temperature inside the wireless charger, 
however this is not a malfunction.

Operation sounds

Front (if equipped): A buzzing noise may be 

heard when pressing the engine switch to 

turn to ACC or ON or when detecting a 

portable device. However, this is not a mal-

function.
Rear (if equipped): A buzzing noise may be 

heard when pressing the power supply 

switch to turn the power supply on, when 

turning the engine switch to ACC or ON 

while the wireless charger power supply is 

on, or when detecting a portable device. 

However, this is not a malfunction.

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.

Black stainless steel window moldings (if 

equipped)

The stainless steel window moldings are 

made of black oxide coated stainless steel.

When cleaning the vehicle, do not scrub the 

moldings with an abrasive cleaner as their 

finish may be damaged or the color may 

change.

Automatic car washes

Before washing the vehicle:

• Fold the mirrors

• Turn off the power back door
Start washing from the front of the vehicle.
Extend the mirrors before driving.

Brushes used in automatic car washes 

may scratch the vehicle surface, parts 

(wheel, etc.) 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

As water may enter the cabin, do not 

bring the nozzle tip near the gaps around 

the doors or perimeter of the windows, or 

spray these areas continuously.

Do not use the high-pressure washer too 

close to the bearings and oil seals of 

drivetrain system parts (such as the dif-

ferential gear).

If used too close to such parts, the high 
water pressure may cause water to enter 
the parts and grease to be washed out, 
causing the system performance to 
decrease.

Wheels and wheel ornaments (vehicles 

without matte painted wheels)

Remove any dirt immediately by using a 

neutral detergent.

Wash detergent off with water immedi-

ately after use.

To protect the paint from damage, make 

sure to observe the following precau-

tions.

• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive 

detergent.

• Do not use hard brushes.

• Do not use detergent on the wheels 

when they are hot, such as after driving or 

parking in hot weather.

Wheels and wheel ornaments (vehicles 

with matte painted wheels)

A different set of care is necessary for matte

are

painted wheels and wheel ornaments. Con-

tact your Lexus dealer for details. 

Remove dirt using water as early as pos-

sible.

If the wheels are excessively dirty, use 

diluted neutral detergent.

When using detergent, make sure to 

rinse it off with water immediately. Then 

use a soft cloth to wipe off the water.

Use a sponge or soft cloth to remove the 

dirt by hand.

To prevent the matte paint from being 

damaged or glossy, make sure to 

observe the following precautions:

• Do not apply any coatings or wax.

• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive 

detergents.

• When using tire cleaners or tire wax, do 

not allow them to be applied to the 

wheels.

• Do not scrub or polish the wheels using a 

brush or dry cloth, etc.

• When using an automatic car wash, do 

not select the wheel brush function.

• Do not use a high pressure washer or 

steam cleaner.

• Do not use detergent on the wheels 

when they are hot, such as after driving or 

parking in hot weather.

Brake caliper coating

When using detergent, use neutral deter-

gent. Do not use hard brushes or abra-

sive cleaners, as they will damage the 

coating.

Do not use detergent on the brake cali-

pers when they are hot.

Wash detergent off immediately after 

use.

Brake pads and calipers

Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with 

wet brake pads or disc rotors, causing them 

to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is 

washed, drive slowly and apply the brakes 

several times to dry the parts.

Bumpers and side moldings

Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

Plated portions

If dirt cannot be removed, clean the parts as 

follows:

Use a soft cloth dampened with an 

approximately 5% solution of neutral 

detergent and water to clean the dirt off.

Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth to 

remove any remaining moisture.

To remove oily deposits, use alcohol wet 

wipes or a similar product.

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 electronic 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.118)

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle 

and a door handle becomes wet during a 

car wash, a message may be shown on 

the multi-information display and a 

buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To 

turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.

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.
