6-1.Maintenance and care

Working from top to bottom, 
liberally 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.

If very dirty, use a car wash 
soap that does not contain 
abrasives and then thor-
oughly rinse with water.

Wipe away any water.

Wax the vehicle when the 
waterproof coating deterio-
rates.

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

Automatic car washes

Fold the mirrors before washing 

the vehicle. Start washing from the 

front of the vehicle. Make sure to 

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.

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.

When using a car wash

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 following correction pro-

cedures 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 bat-

tery-saving mode to disable the 

smart key system. (

P.111)

Wheels and wheel ornaments 

(vehicles without matte painted 

wheels)

Remove any dirt immediately by 

using a neutral detergent.

Wash detergent off with water 

immediately after use.

To protect the paint from damage, 

make sure to observe the follow-

ing precautions.

• 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)

As matte painted wheels require dif-

ferent cleaning methods than con-

ventional wheels, be sure to 

observe the following. For details, 

consult your Toyota dealer.

Remove dirt using water. If the 

wheels are excessively dirty, use 

a sponge or soft cloth dampened 

Cleaning and protect-

with a diluted neutral detergent to 

remove the dirt.

To protect the matte paint from 

damage, make sure to observe 

the following precautions.

• Do not scrub or polish the wheels 

using a brush or dry cloth

• Do not use any wheel coatings or 

abrasive detergents

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

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 neu-

tral 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 alco-

hol wet wipes or a similar product.

WARNING

When washing the vehicle

Do not apply water to the inside of 

the engine compartment. Doing 

so may cause the electrical com-

ponents, etc. to catch fire.

Precautions regarding the 

exhaust pipes

Exhaust gasses cause the 

exhaust pipes and rear bumper 

diffusers to become quite hot.

When washing the vehicle, be 

careful not to touch the pipes and 

diffusers until they have cooled 

sufficiently, as touching hot 

exhaust pipes and rear bumper 

diffusers can cause burns.

Precaution regarding the rear 

bumper

If the paint of the rear bumper is 

chipped or scratched, the follow-

ing systems may not function cor-

rectly. If this occurs, consult your 

Toyota dealer.

6-1. Maintenance and care

NOTICE

• 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 cor-

roding, remove any dirt and 

store in a place with low humid-

ity when storing the wheels.

Protective film for side sill 

plates (if equipped)

Make sure to remove the protec-

tive film. Failure to do so may 

cause rust, depending on condi-

tions.

Cleaning the exterior lights

Wash carefully. Do not use 

organic substances or scrub 

with a hard brush. This may 

damage the surfaces of the 

lights.

Do not apply wax to the sur-

faces of the lights.

Wax may cause damage to the 

lenses.

To prevent damage to the 

windshield wiper arms

When lifting the wiper arms away 

from the windshield, pull the driver 

side wiper arm upward first, and 

repeat for the passenger side. 

When returning the wipers to their 

original position, do so from the 

passenger side first.

When using a high pressure 

car wash

When washing the vehicle, do 

not spray the camera or its sur-

rounding area directly with a 

high pressure washer. Shock 

applied from high pressure 

water may cause the device to 

not operate normally.

Do not bring the nozzle tip close 

to boots (rubber or resin manu-

factured cover), connectors or 

the following parts. The parts 

may be damaged if they come 

into contact with high-pressure 

water.

• Traction related parts

• Suspension parts

• Steering parts

• Brake parts

Keep the cleaning nozzle at 

least 11.9 in. (30 cm) away from 

the vehicle body. Otherwise

vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty 
surfaces with a cloth damp-
ened with lukewarm water.

If dirt cannot be removed, 
wipe it off with a soft cloth 
dampened with neutral deter-
gent diluted to approximately 
1%.

Wring out any excess water from 
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off 
remaining traces of detergent and

electrical appliances to malfunc-

tion.

Preventing damage to leather 

surfaces

Observe the following precautions 

to avoid damage to and deteriora-

tion of leather surfaces:

Remove any dust or dirt from 

leather surfaces immediately.

Do not expose the vehicle to 

direct sunlight for extended peri-

ods of time. Park the vehicle in 

the shade, especially during 

summer.

Do not place items made of 

vinyl, plastic, or containing wax 

on the upholstery, as they may 

stick to the leather surface if the 

vehicle interior heats up signifi-

cantly.

Water on the floor

Do not wash the vehicle floor with 

water.
Vehicle systems such as the 

audio system may be damaged if 

water comes into contact with 

electrical components such as the 

audio system above or under the 

floor of the vehicle. Water may 

also cause the body to rust.

WARNING

The engine compartment contains 

many mechanisms and fluids that 

may move suddenly, become hot, 

or become electrically energized. 

To avoid death or serious injury, 

observe the following precautions.

When working on the engine 

compartment

Keep hands, clothing and tools 

away from the moving fans and 

engine drive belt.

Be careful not to touch the 

engine, radiator, exhaust mani-

fold, etc. right after driving as 

they may be hot. Oil and other 

fluids may also be hot.

Do not leave anything that may 

burn easily, such as paper and 

rags, in the engine compart-

ment.

Do not smoke, cause sparks or 

expose an open flame to fuel or 

the battery. Fuel and battery 

fumes are flammable.

Be extremely cautious when 

working on the battery. It con-

tains poisonous and corrosive 

sulfuric acid.

When working near the elec-

tric cooling fans or radiator 

grille

Be sure the engine switch is off.
With the engine switch in ON, the 

electric cooling fans may auto-

matically start to run if the air con-

ditioning is on and/or the coolant 

temperature is high. (

P.308)

Safety glasses

Wear safety glasses to prevent 

flying or falling material, fluid 

spray, etc. from getting in your 

eyes.
