In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Lexus requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks
and visual inspections. The recom -
mended guidelines for inspections
are listed below. Please refer to
the “Mainte nance” section of the
Owner’s Manual for a detailed
description of inspection procedures.
Every 30 Days
At least once every 30 days,
perform these inspections:
• Check engine oil level using
the dipstick
• Visually check engine coolant
level on the see-through reservoir
• Visually check brake fluid level
on the see-through reservoir
• Visually check condition
of battery
• Check level of windshield
washer fluid
• Check tire pressure
• Check tires for damage and wear
• Check installation of driver’s
floor mat
After a Car Wash

When Cleaning the Interior
•
Remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty
surfaces with a soft cloth
dampened with warm water.
• When cleaning leather interior,
remove dirt and dust with
a vacuum cleaner. Using a
sponge, apply a small amount
of neutral wool detergent mixed
in water, rubbing in a circular
motion. Wipe off any excess
detergent and let leather dry
in an open-air location.
• When cleaning carpet, remove
dirt and dust with a vacuum
cleaner. Apply a foaming-type
carpet cleaner with a sponge or
brush, allowing cleaner to work
for a few minutes to loosen dirt.
Continue by rubbing carpet
in a circular motion. Wipe
off any excess cleaner with a
clean cloth. If any dirt remains,
repeat process. Best results
are obtained by keeping the
carpet as dry as possible.
