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.

For hard-to-remove marks, 
use car wash soap and rinse 
thoroughly 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. 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 battery-

saving mode to disable the Smart 

key system. (

P.129)

Wheels and wheel ornaments

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

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 wheel arch mold-

ings

Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

Cleaning and protect-

ing the vehicle exte-

rior

Perform cleaning in a man-
ner appropriate to each

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 pipe

Exhaust gases cause the exhaust 

pipe to become quite hot. When 

washing the vehicle, be careful 

not to touch the pipe until it has 

cooled sufficiently, as touching hot 

exhaust pipe can cause burns.

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.

Off

“AUTO”

When the upper part of the 

windshield where the raindrop 

sensor is located is touched by

to clean them regularly. If dirty areas 

are left uncleaned for long periods 

of time, they may be difficult to 

clean.

Remove dirt and dust using a 
vacuum cleaner.

Wipe off any excess dirt and 
dust with a soft cloth damp-
ened with diluted detergent.

Use a diluted water solution of 
approximately 5% neutral wool 
detergent.

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

Wipe the surface with a dry, 
soft cloth to remove any 
remaining moisture. Allow the 

leather to dry in a shaded and 
ventilated area.

Caring for leather areas

Toyota recommends cleaning the 

interior of the vehicle at least twice a 

year to maintain the quality of the 

vehicle’s interior.

Remove dirt and dust using a 
vacuum cleaner.

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.

Repair and replacement

It is recommended that genuine 

Toyota parts be used for repairs to 

ensure performance of each sys-

tem. If non-Toyota parts are used in 

replacement or if a repair shop other 

than a Toyota dealer performs 

repairs, confirm the warranty cover-

age.

Allow inspection and repairs to 

be performed by a Toyota 

dealer

Toyota technicians are well-

trained specialists and are kept up 

to date with the latest service 

information. They are well 

informed about the operation of all 

systems on your vehicle.

Keep a copy of the repair order. It 

proves that the maintenance that 

has been performed is under war-

ranty coverage. If any problem 

should arise while your vehicle is 

under warranty, your Toyota 

dealer will promptly take care of it.

General maintenance should be 
performed on a daily basis. This 
can be done by yourself or by a 
Toyota dealer.

Scheduled maintenance should 
be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
