Maintenance and care
■Bumpers

coating
●The following precautions can extend the 
effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-
ing.
• Remove any dirt, etc. from the front side  windows regularly.
• Do not allow dirt and dust to accumulate  on the windows for a long period.
Clean the windows with a soft, damp 
cloth as soon as possible.
• Do not use wax or glass cleaners that  contain abrasives when cleaning the win-
dows.

has become insufficie nt, the coating can 
be repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer.
WARNING
■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.
■When cleaning the windshield (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wip-
ers)
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wip-
ers may operate unexpectedly in the fol-

pipes to become quite hot, do not touch 
the exhaust pipes while the hybrid system 
is operating or immediately after the 
hybrid system is turned off.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not 
to touch the exhaust pipes until they have 
cooled sufficiently, as touching hot
