2426-1. Maintenance and care
YARIS_GRMN_OM_Europe_OM52J40E
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.
● 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 deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.
■ Automatic car washes
● Fold the mirrors and remove the antenna (pole type) before washing the
vehicle. Start washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to extend the
mirrors and re-install the antenna before driving.
● Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
● Rear spoiler may not be washable in some automatic car washes. There
may also be an increased risk of damage to vehicle.
■ High pressure car washes
● Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of
the windows and door borders, and high mounted stoplight.
● Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is
closed properly.
■ 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. Place the key in a position
2 m (6 ft.) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being
washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in
prime condition:

Maintenance and care
■Aluminum wheels
● Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard
brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical clean-
ers.
Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.
● Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after
driving for long distance in the hot weather.
● Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
● To preserve the wheels luster, do not allow hot water, such as from steam
cleaning, to contact them directly.
■ Brakes
● Brake Caliper Coating
• Use a neutral detergent when using detergents. Do not use abrasive
detergents or hard brushes as they may scratch the coating.
• Do not use detergents when the brake calipers are hot.
• Rinse the calipers quickly and sufficiently after detergents are used.
● The brake pads and disk rotor may rust if they are left wet when the vehicle
is parked. After washing, drive the vehicle at low speeds, apply the brakes
several times to dry them out, and then park the vehicle.
■ Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

2446-1. Maintenance and care
YARIS_GRMN_OM_Europe_OM52J40E
WARNING
■When cleaning the windshield
● When the upper part of the windshield where the raindrop sensor is
located is touched by hand
● When a wet rag or similar is held close to the raindrop sensor
● If something bumps against the windshield
● If you directly touch the raindrop sensor body or if something bumps into
the raindrop sensor
■ When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may
cause the electrical components, etc., to catch fire.
■ Precautions regarding the exhaust pipes
Exhaust gases cause the exhaust pipes to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipes until they have
cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes can cause burns.
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wiper
may operate unexpectedly in the follow-
ing situations, and may result in hands
being caught or other serious injuries and
cause damage to the wiper blades.
