TSIB REVISION NOTICE:
May 11, 2005: Applicable Vehicles has been updated to include 2004 ± 2006
model years.
The previous TSB should be discarded.
On some vehicles, when Rapgard is removed, the paint may have a stained
appearance under the clear coat. These stains should not be considered a defect in the
paint (clear coat or color coat). Wrinkles in the Rapgard sometimes trap water and
cause the paint to stain from the trapped moisture, especially on horizontal surfaces,
such as the hood, roof, and trunk. Stains can be removed by heating the stained surface
to remove the trapped moisture.
Stains
2002 ± 2006 model year vehicles, all models.

Information Bulletin
January 12, 2005
PA001-05
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide information regarding the proper procedures to
clean vehicles that may have been subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles
such as rail dust.
1994 ± Current model year Lexus vehicles.

* Contact the main office of Auto Wax Company Inc. (1±800±826±0828 or www.automagic.biz) to find a
local source for Auto Magic
Special Cleaner Concentrate.
During rail transportation or extended storage near industrial areas, vehicles may
occasionally be subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles shed from railroad
tracks, train wheels, exposure to heavy machinery facilities, grinding, welding, etc.
This type of contamination can be identified by the presence of small red or brown
particles on the paint surface. These particles are often difficult to see on dark color
paints, but can be easily felt when brushing a hand across horizontal body surfaces such
as hood, roof, or deck lid.
CAUTION:
Because of the abrasiveness of these small iron particles, polishing or buffing
procedures should not be attempted to repair the paint surface of an affected vehicle.
This will result in further paint damage and detract from vehicle appearance.
Washing the affected paint surfaces with Auto Magic
Special Cleaner Concentrate is
the recommended method to dislodge embedded iron particles and remove the
surrounding rust stains. The correct usage of Auto Magic
Special Cleaner
Concentrate is described in this bulletin.

INITIALIZATION OF MOON ROOF
The moon roof is controlled by the sliding roof ECU which detects and memorizes the
moon roof position by counting pulses of its motor from the fully tilt±up position as the
start position. Once the battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected, the
sliding roof ECU does not detect and memorize the moon roof position, resulting in no
functions of the ªone±touch tilt up and down,º ªone±touch slide open and closeº and ªjam
protection.º Please initialize the moon roof position after reconnecting the battery
terminal as outlined below.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the
ªONº position.
2. Push and hold the moon roof switch
to the ªTILT± UPº side until the moon
roof tilts all the way up and then tilts
down slightly (approximately 10 mm
at rear end).
3. Check for proper operation of the
ªOne±touch slide open and closeº and
ªOne±touch tilt up and downº functions
by pushing the switch briefly to the
ªSLIDE OPENº and ªTILT UPº positions.
NOTE:
Jam protection function becomes
effective through the above
initialization procedure.
