Maintenance and care
■Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■Front side windows water-repellent
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.
• Do not use any metallic objects to
remove condensation build up.
●When the water-repellent performance
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-
lowing situations, and may result in hands
being caught or other serious injuries
and cause damage to the wiper blades.

■Precautions regarding the exhaust
pipes

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 pi pes until they have
cooled sufficiently, as touching hot
exhaust pipes can cause burns.
