GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REGULAR USE
MAINTENANCE
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
• Check installation of
driver’s floor mat
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.
