WARNING
●If something bumps against the windshield
●If you directly touch the raindrop sensor body or if something bumps
into the raindrop sensor
■Precautions regarding the
exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot
exhaust pipe can cause burns.
■Precaution regarding the rear
bumper with Blind Spot Monitor (if equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is
chipped or scratched, the system may malfunction. If this occurs, consult with any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer.
NOTICE
■To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and components (aluminum wheels,
etc.)
●Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on
the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or
bird droppings are present on the paint surface
• After driving in an area contami- nated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron powder or chemical sub-
stances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gas- oline are spilled on the paint sur-face
●If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corrod-ing, remove any dirt and store in a
place with low humidity when stor- ing the wheels.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a hard
brush. This may damage the surfaces of the lights.

vehicle. Doing so may cause electrical com-ponents, etc. to malfunction or
catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS compo-
nents or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. ( →P. 3 4 ) An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use a polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off the windshield, obstructing
the driver’s view and leading to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE

damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or gaso-
line, alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and bleach

such as thinner, benzene, and alco- hol
●Do not use a polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or other interior part’s painted surface
may be damaged.
■Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to
avoid damage to and deterioration of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time. Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
●Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the
upholstery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats up significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
water. Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water
comes into contact with electrical components such as the audio sys-tem above or under the floor of the
vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of the windshield (vehicles with Toyota Safety Sense)
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens. Also, do not touch the lens. ( →P.155)
●Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires or antenna.
■Cleaning the inside of the rear window

ger heater wires or antenna. Use a cloth dampened with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window
clean. Wipe the window in strokes running parallel to the heater wires or antenna.
