Advice on care and
maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
WARNI NG
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in the engine compartment - risk of damaging the electrical components!Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or extremely cold conditions.
NOTIC E
When washing the vehicle in an automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure to lock the doors and, depending on version, move the electronic key away and deactivate the “hands-free” function (Hands-Free Access).When using a pressure washer, hold the lance at least 30 cm from the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).Promptly clean up any stains containing chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's paint (including tree resin, bird droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).If justified by the environment, clean the vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits (in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas) and mud (in wet or cold areas). These substances can be highly corrosive.Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for advice on removing stubborn
stains requiring special products (such as tar or insect removers).Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Interior
WARNI NG
When washing the vehicle, never use a water hose or high-pressure jet to clean the interior.Liquids carried in cups or other open containers can spill, presenting a risk of damage to the instruments and controls and the controls located on the centre console. Be
vigilant!
Bodywork
High-gloss paint
WARNI NG
Do not use abrasive products or solvents, petrol or oil to clean the bodywork.Never use an abrasive sponge to clean stubborn stains. Risk of scratching the paintwork!Do not apply polish in strong sunshine, or to plastic or rubber parts.

226
NOTIC E
Use a soft sponge and soapy water or a pH neutral product.Gently wipe the bodywork with a clean microfibre cloth.Apply polish with the vehicle clean and dry.Comply with the instructions for use stated on the product.
Textured paint
This type of paint reacts under the effect of light, through variations in appearance and finish that highlight the lines and contours of the vehicle. Its varnish is enriched with particles that remain visible and create a unique satin effect with relief. Its slightly granular texture gives it a surprising touch.
WARNI NG
Never attempt to clean without water.
Never clean your vehicle in an automatic roller-brush car wash.Never select the programme with hot wax finish.Never use high-pressure lances equipped with brushes - risk of scratching paint!Never apply glossy polish or preservatives to the bodywork or alloy wheels; these products irreversibly reveal glossy or spotted areas.
NOTIC E
Choose high-pressure wash, or at least high-flow water jet.Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.Only a clean microfibre cloth is recommended for wiping the vehicle; pass it over the vehicle without rubbing.Carefully wipe off any fuel spilt on the bodywork using a soft cloth, then allow to dry.Clean off minor marks (for example, finger marks), using a maintenance product recommended by TOYOTA.
Decals
(Depending on version)
WARNI NG
Do not use a high pressure washer to clean the vehicle. Risk of damaging or detaching the decals!
NOTIC E
Use a high-flow hose at a temperature between 25°C and 40°C.Sweep the jet of water across the surface to
be cleaned, perpendicular to it.Rinse the vehicle with demineralised water.
Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate regular care is essential for its durability.It must be protected and nourished using a specific leather product, to keep it supple and preserve its original appearance.
WARNI NG
Do not clean leather using unsuitable
cleaning agents such as solvents, detergents, petrol or pure alcohol.When cleaning items partly made from leather, take care not to damage the other materials with the specific leather product.
NOTIC E
Before cleaning greasy stains or liquids, quickly mop up any surplus.Before cleaning, wipe off any residues liable to scuff the leather, using a cloth that has been dampened with demineralised water and thoroughly wrung out.Clean leather using a soft cloth moistened with soapy water or a pH-neutral product.Dry with a soft, dry cloth.
