■Washing
●Toyota is not responsible for scratches caused by automatic car   washes or
improper washing.
● Scratches are more noticeable on vehicles with darker paint fin ishes.
■ Waxing
A spot remover  to remove oil, tar, and similar materials will usually also take
off the wax. Rewax these areas even if the rest of the vehicle does not need
it.
WARNING
■Dry  off  brakes  that  have  become  wet  by  driving  slowly,  releasin g  the
accelerator  pedal  and  lightly  applying  the  brakes  several  times  until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving  with  wet  brakes  is  dangerous.  Increased  stopping  distan ce  or  the
vehicle pulling to  one  side  when braking  could  result in  a  seri ous accident.
Light braking will indicate whether the brakes have been affect ed.
NOTICE
●When  the  wiper  lever  is  in  the AUTO  position  and  the  ignition  is  switched
ON, the wipers may move automatically in the following cases:
• If the windshield above the rain sensor is touched or wiped with a cloth.
• If the windshield is struck with a hand or other object from e ither outside
or inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is
in  the AUTO  position and  the  ignition is switched  ON  as fingers could  be
pinched  or  the  wipers  and  wiper  blades  damaged  when  the  wipers  acti-
vate automatically.
If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure the wipers ar e turned off
completely (when it is most likely that the engine is left runn ing) this is par-
ticularly important when clearing ice and snow.
● Do not spray water in the engine compartment. Otherwise, it cou ld result in
engine-starting problems or damage to electrical parts.
● When  washing  and  waxing  the  vehicle,  be  careful  not  to  apply  ex cessive
force to any single area of the vehicle roof or the antenna. Otherwise, you
could dent the vehicle or damage the antenna.
● Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents  containing
highly  alkaline  or caustic agents  on  chrome-plated or  anodized  aluminum
parts. This  may  damage  the  protective  coating;  also,  cleaners  a nd  deter-
gents may discolor or deteriorate the paint.

Maintenance and Care
• When cleaning the plastic lenses of the lights, do not use gasoline,
kerosene,  rectified spirit,  paint,  thinner, highly  acidic  deter gents,  or
strongly alkaline detergents. Ot herwise, these chemical agents  can
discolor  or  damage  the  surfaces  resulting  in  a  significant  loss  in
functionality. If plastic parts  become inadvertently exposed to  any of
these chemical age nts, flush with water immediately.
• If plastic parts such as the bumpers become inadvertently exposed to chemical agents or fluids such as gasoline, oil, engine cool ant, or
battery fluid, it could cause di scoloration, staining, or paint peeling.
Wipe off any such chemical agents or fluids using a soft cloth  imme-
diately.
• High  water  temperature  and  high  water  pressure  car  washers  are available  depending  on  the  type  of  high  pressure  car  washer
device.  If  the  car  washer  nozzle  is  put  too  close  to  the  vehicl e  or
aimed  at  one  area  for  an  extended  period  of  time,  it  could  defo rm
plastic parts or  damage the paint.
• Do not use wax containing compounds (polish). Otherwise, it co uld
result in paint damage.
• In addition, do not use an electrical or air tool to apply wax . Other-
wise,  the  frictional  heat  generat ed  could  result  in  deformation of
plastic parts o r paint damage.
NOTICE
●Do  not  use  any  detergent  other  than  mild  detergent.  Before  usin g  any
detergent, verify the ingredients.
Otherwise, the product could discolor or stain the aluminum whe els.
● Do  not  use  a  wire  brush  or  any  abrasive  cleaner,  polishing  comp ound,  or
solvent on aluminum wheels. They may damage the coating.
● Always use a sponge or soft cloth to clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water. Also,  be sure to
clean the wheels after driving on dusty or salted roads to help  prevent cor-
rosion.
● Avoid washing your vehicle in an automatic car wash that uses h igh-speed
or hard brushes.

Changing a Flat Tire
Park on a level surface off the right-of-way and firmly set the park-

Block  the  wheel  diagonally
opposite  the  flat  tire.  When
blocking  a  wheel,  place  a  tire
block  both  in  front  and  behind
the tire.
When  blocking  a  tire,  use  rocks
or wood blocks of sufficient size if
possible to hold the tire in place.
●If the following occurs while dri ving, it could indicate a flat tire.
• Steering becomes difficult.
• The vehicle begins to  vibrate excessively.
• The vehicle pulls in one direction.
●Make sure the jack is well lu bricated before using it.
If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a level spot that is w ell off
the road and out of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping  in  traffic  or  on  the  shoulder  of  a  busy  road  is  danger-
ous.

WARNING
■ Follow These Precautions Carefully
To  ensure  safe  and  correct  handling  of  the  battery,  read  the  fo llowing  pre-
cautions carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.
■   Keep  flames  and  sparks  away  from  open  battery  cells  and  do
not allow metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative ( -) terminal
of the battery when working near a battery. Do not allow the positive (+)
terminal to contact  the vehicle body
Flames  and  sparks  near  open  battery  cells  are  dangerous.  Hydrog en  gas,
produced  during  normal  battery  operation,  could  ignite  and  cause  the  bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns a nd injuries.
Keep  all  flames  including  cigarettes  and  sparks  away  from  open  battery
cells.
■   Keep  all  flames  and  sparks  away  from  open  battery  cells
because  hydrogen  gas  is  produced  from  open  battery  cells  while
charging the battery or adding battery fluid
Flames  and  sparks  near  open  battery  cells  are  dangerous.  Hydrog en  gas,
produced  during  normal  battery  operation,  could  ignite  and  cause  the  bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns a nd injuries.
Keep  all  flames  including  cigarettes  and  sparks  away  from  open  battery
cells.
■ Do not jump-start a frozen bat tery or one with a low fluid leve l
Jump-starting  a  frozen  battery  or  one  with  a  low  fluid  level  is   dangerous.  It
may rupture or explode, causing serious injury.
■ Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the  bat-
tery
Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative ( -) terminal
of the discharged battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and i njure some-
one.
■ Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving
Connecting  a  jumper  cable  near  or  to  moving  parts  (cooling  fans,  belts)  is
dangerous.  The  cable  could  get  caught  when  the  engine  starts  an d  cause
serious injury.
