WARNING
■Do not replace the main fuse and multiplex slow blow fuse by yourself.
Have your Toyota dealer perform the replacement
Replacing these fuses by yourself is dangerous because they are high cur-
rent fuses. Incorrect replacement could cause an electrical shock or a short
circuit resulting in a fire.
NOTICE
Always replace a fuse with a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent of the same
rating. Otherwise you may damage the electric system.

Exterior Care
■Etching Caused by Acid Rain or Industrial Fallout
● Occurrence
Industrial pollutants and vehicle emissions drift into the air and
mix with rain or dew to form acids. These acids can settle on a
vehicle’s finish. As the water evaporates, the acid becomes con-
centrated and can damage the finish.
And the longer the acid remains on the surface, the greater the
chance is for damage.
● Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your vehicle to preserve its finish
according to the instructions in this section. These steps should
be taken immediately after you suspect that acid rain has settled
on your vehicle’s finish.
■Damage Caused by Bird Dropping, Insects, or Tree Sap
● Occurrence
Bird droppings contain acids. If these are not removed they can
eat away the clear and color base coat of the vehicle’s paintwork.
When insects stick to the paint surface and decompose, corro-
sive compounds form.
These can erode the clear and color base coat of the vehicle’s
paintwork if they are not removed.
Tree sap will harden and adhere permanently to the paint finish.
If you scratch the sap off while it is hard, some vehicle paint could
come off with it.
The paintwork on your Toyota re presents the latest technical
developments in composition and methods of application.
Environmental hazards, however, can harm the paint’s protec-
tive properties, if proper care is not taken.
Here are some examples of possi ble damage, with tips on how
to prevent them.

Maintenance and Care
●Prevention
It is necessary to have your Toyota washed and waxed to pre-
serve its finish according to the in structions in this section. This
should be done as soon as possible.
Bird droppings can be removed with a soft sponge and water. If
you are traveling and these are not available, a moistened tissue
may also take care of the problem. The cleaned area should be
waxed according to the inst ructions in this section.
Insects and tree sap are best removed with a soft sponge and
water or a commercially available chemical cleaner.
Another method is to cover the affected area with dampened
newspaper for one to two hours. After removing the newspaper,
rinse off the loosened debris with water.
■Water Marks
● Occurrence
Rain, fog, dew, and even tap water can contain harmful minerals
such as salt and lime. If mois ture containing these minerals set-
tles on the vehicle and evapor ates, the minerals will concentrate
and harden to form white rings. The rings can damage your vehi-
cle’s finish.
● Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your vehicle to preserve its finish
according to the instructions in this section. These steps should
be taken immediately after you find water marks on your vehi-
cle’s finish.
■Paint Chipping
● Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel thrown in the air by another
vehicle’s tires hits your vehicle.
● How to avoid paint chipping
Keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead
reduces the chances of having your paint chipped by flying
gravel.
Follow all label and container directions when using a chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warnings and cautions.

■Paint Chipping
●The paint chipping zone varies with the speed of the vehicle. For example,
when traveling at 56 mph (90 km/h), the paint chipping zone is 164 ft.
(50 m).
● In low temperatures a vehicle’s finish hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
● Chipped paint can lead to rust forming on your Toyota. Before this happens,
repair the damage by using Toyota touch-up paint according to the instruc-
tions in this section. Failure to repair the affected area could lead to serious
rusting and expensive repairs.
■
Washing
To help protect the finish from rust and deterioration, wash your
Toyota thoroughly and frequently, at least once a month, with luke-
warm or cold water.
If the vehicle is washed impro perly, the paint surface could be
scratched. Here are some examples of how scratching could occur.
Scratches occur on the paint surface when: • The vehicle is washed without fi rst rinsing off dirt and other for-
eign matter.
• The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry, or dirty cloth.
• The vehicle is washed at a car wash that uses brushes that are
dirty or too stiff.
• Cleansers or wax containing abrasives are used.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle’s paint finish: • Rinse off any dirt or other foreign matter using lukewarm or cold water before washing.
• Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water and a soft cloth when washing the vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
• Rub gently when washing or drying the vehicle.
• Take your vehicle only to a car wash that keeps its brushes well maintained.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax that contain abrasives.
Pay special attention to removing salt, dirt, mud, and other foreign
material from the underside of the fenders, and make sure the drain
holes in the lower edges of the doors and rocker panels are clean.
