warm water over the frozen area to 
melt the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of the 
climate control system fan, remove 
any snow that has accumulated on 
the air inlet vents in front of the 
windshield.
 Check for and remove any excess 
ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s 
roof, chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud from the 
bottom of your shoes before getting 
in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a 
safe distance between you and the 
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced 
speed suitable to road conditions.
 Park the vehicle and move the shift 
lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may 
freeze up, preventing it from being 
released. If the vehicle is parked 
without setting the parking brake, 
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous 
because it may cause the vehicle to 
move unexpectedly, possibly lead-
ing to an accident.
 If the vehicle is parked without set- ting the parking brake, confirm that 
the shift lever cannot be moved out 
of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is 
attempted to be shifted from P to any 
other position with out depressing the 
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be 
shifted from P, there may be a problem 
with the shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Lexus dealer 
immediately.

2346-1. Maintenance and care
6-1.Maintenance and care
Working from top to bottom, liber-
ally 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 water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, 
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.
■Black stainless steel window moldings (F 
SPORT models)
The stainless steel window moldings are 
made of black oxide coated stainless steel.
When cleaning the vehicle, do not scrub the 
moldings with an abrasive cleaner as their 
finish may be damaged or the color may 
change.
■Self-restoring coat
The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-
ing that is resistant to small surface 
scratches caused in  a car wash etc.
●The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from 
when the vehicle is delivered from the 
plant.
●The restoration time differs depending on 
the depth of the scratch and outside tem-
perature.
The restoration time may become shorter 
when the coating is warmed by applying 
warm water.
●Deep scratches caused by keys, coins, 
etc. cannot be restored.
●Do not use wax that contains abrasives.

As water may enter the cabin, do not bring 
the nozzle tip near the gaps around the 
doors or perimeter of the windows, or spray 
these areas continuously.
■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. In 
that case, follow the following correction 
procedures to wash the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or 
more separate from the vehicle while the 
vehicle is being wash ed. (Take care to 
ensure that the key is not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-saving 
mode to disable the smart access system 
with push-button start. ( P.93)
