6-1. Maintenance and care
Maintenance and care
late 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 windows.• Do not use any metallic objects to
remove condensation build up.
●When the water-repellent perfor-
mance has become insufficient, the coating can be repaired. Consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with an
approximately 5% solution of neutral detergent and water to clean the dirt off.
●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alcohol wet wipes or a similar product.
■Carbon film (if equipped)
●Do not attach a roof carrier on the car-bon-film. It may damage the film sur-
face.
●Only use low temperature water; 50°C
(122°F) or less, for an automatic car wash and high pressure washer.
Do not use the high pressure washer to
the film edge to avoid coming off.
●Do not take heated water more than 90°C (194°F) directly. It may cause the film to come off easily.
●Only use a neutral detergent which is approved for car wash use and water.
●Do not wax or apply a coating to the film to keep film textured appearance.
●Dirt like bird droppings and oil should be cleaned off with a neutral detergent
immediately.
■Brake
●Painted brake calipers
• When using detergent, use neutral
detergent. Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners, as they will dam-age the paint.
• Do not use detergent on the brake cal- ipers when they are hot.• Wash detergent off immediately after
use.
●Rust may form if the vehicle is parked
with wet brake pads or disc rotors, causing them to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed, drive
slowly and apply the brakes several times to dry the parts.
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
Set the wiper switch to off. If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may operate unexpectedly in the following
situations, and may result in hands being caught or other serious injuries and cause damage to the wiper
blades.
Off
AUTO
●When the upper part of the wind- shield where the raindrop sensor is
located is touched by hand
●When a wet rag or similar is held
close to the raindrop sensor

6-2. Matte paint care guide (if equipped)
Dirt
Due to the slight unevenness, matte
clear coat surfaces are more likely to
trap dirt and other foreign matter com-
pared to normal clear coat surfaces.
If dirt or foreign matter is left on the
vehicle, it may settle into the textured
surface of the matte clear coat, making
it more difficult to remove. Additionally,
as the surface of the matte clear coat
will become more flat when dirty, the
vehicle body will start to look glossy,
ruining the textured finish.
Therefore, make sure to clean the vehi-
cle regularly and not allow dirt to remain
on the vehicle for extended periods of
time.
If dirt or foreign matter is allowed to set-
tle and cannot be cleaned off with nor-
mal washing, it will be necessary to
remove the dirt with the upper layer of
the textured finish and then to repaint
the entire part.
Ask your any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for details.
■Materials that may become difficult
to remove
The following are likely to settle into the
vehicle body and should be cleaned off
immediately.
●Rain water, sea water, and other liq-
uids that may cause water stains
●Sand, pollen, volcanic ash, and other
particulate matter
●Dead insects, bird droppings, etc.
●Sap, leaves, flowers, etc.
●Mud, snow, anti-freezing agents, and
other road debris
●Gasoline, engine oil, asphalt, and
other oily materials
■Do not wax or apply a coating to
the vehicle
Do not wax the vehicle or apply a coat-
ing to the vehicle body, as they will form
a film over the painted surfaces, filling
the matte clear coat surface, making it
more flat. As a result, it will become
more glossy, possibly permanently los-
ing its matte properties.
