7-1. Maintenance and care

Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior

●

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.

●

Use car wash shampoo (for parts other than matte painted parts) or
neutral detergent (for matte painted parts) and wash thoroughly
with water when the vehicle is particularly dirty

●

Wipe away any water.

●

For parts other than matte painted parts: Wax the vehicle when the
waterproof coating deteriorates.

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

●

Matte painted parts: Do not use wax or abrasive compounds on
these parts under any circumstances

●

Matte painted parts: Contact your Toyota dealer regarding dirt on
matte painted parts that cannot be cleaned with a normal car wash.

■

Automatic car washes

●

Fold the mirrors back 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 continu-
ously.

●

Do not use the high-pressure washer too close to the bearings and oil seals
of drivetrain system parts (such as the differential 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 perfor-
mance to decrease.

●

For vehicles with rear height control air suspension, do not bring the nozzle
tip near the air suspension unit.

Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in
prime condition:

Notes for a smart entry & start system (if equipped)

If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the fol-
lowing correction procedures to wash the vehicle:

• Place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or more away from the

vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart entry &

start system. (



P. 190)

■

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 following pre-
cautions.
• 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 driv-

ing 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

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.
