Before programming
HomeLink



During programming, it is pos-
sible that garage doors,
gates, or other devices may
operate. For this reason,
make sure that people and
objects are clear of the
garage door or other devices
to prevent injury or other
potential harm.

●

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.

■

Note for a smart key system

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.)

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.

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.

■

When cleaning the windshield

(vehicles with rain-sensing

windshield wipers)

Set the wiper switch to off.

If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”,

the wipers may operate unexpect-

edly in the following situations,

and may result in hands being

caught or other serious injuries

and cause damage to the wiper

blades.

WARNING

■

Precaution regarding the rear

bumper with Blind Spot Moni-

tor (if equipped)

If the paint of the rear bumper is

chipped or scratched, the system

may malfunction. If this occurs,

consult your Toyota dealer.

NOTICE

■

To prevent paint deterioration

and corrosion on the body

and components (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 paint surface

• After driving in an area contami-

nated with soot, oily smoke,

mine dust, iron powder or chem-

ical 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 cor-

roding, remove any dirt and

store in a place with low humid-

ity 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 lights.

●

Do not apply wax to the sur-

faces of the lights.

Wax may cause damage to the

lenses.

■

When using an automatic car

wash (vehicles with rain-

sensing windshield wipers)

Set the wiper switch to off posi-

tion.

If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”,

the wipers may operate and the

wiper blades may be damaged.

■

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 spray water directly on

the radar which is equipped

behind the emblem. Otherwise

it may cause the device to be

damaged.

●

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.



Remove dirt and dust using a
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 water.

■

Shampooing the carpets

There are several commercial foam-

ing-type cleaners available. Use a

sponge or brush to apply the foam.

Rub in overlapping circles. Do not

use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and

let them dry. Excellent results are

obtained by keeping the carpet as

dry as possible.

■

Handling the seat belts

Clean with mild soap and lukewarm

water using a cloth or sponge. Also

check the belts periodically for

excessive wear, fraying or cuts.

NOTICE

●

Keep the cleaning nozzle at

least 11.9 in. (30 cm) away from

the vehicle body. Otherwise

resin section, such as moldings

and bumpers, may be deformed

and damaged. Also, do not con-

tinuously hold the nozzle in the

same place.

●

Do not spray the lower part of

the windshield continuously. If

water enters the air conditioning

system intake located near the

lower part of the windshield, the

air conditioning system may not

operate correctly.

●

Do not wash the underside of

the vehicle using a high pres-

sure car washer.
