Maintenance and Care
●Prevention
It is necessary to have your Toyota washed and waxed to pre-
serve its finish according to t he instructions in this section. This
should be done as soon as possible.
Bird droppings can be removed with a soft sponge and water. If
you are traveling and these are not available, a moistened tissue
may also take care of the problem. The cleaned area should be
waxed according to the inst ructions in this section.
Insects and tree sap are best removed with a soft sponge and
water or a commercially available chemical cleaner.
Another method is to cover the affected area with dampened
newspaper for 1 to 2 hours. After removing the newspaper, rinse
off the loosened deb ris with water.
■Water Marks
●Occurrence
Rain, fog, dew, and even tap water can contain harmful minerals
such as salt and lime. If moisture containing these minerals se t-
tles on the vehicle and evaporat es, the minerals will concentrate
and harden to form white rings. The rings can damage your vehi-
cle’s finish.
● Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your vehicle to preserve its fi nish
according to the instructions in this section. These steps shou ld
be taken immediately after you find water marks on your vehi-
cle’s finish.
■Paint Chipping
● Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when grav el thrown in the air by another
vehicle’s tires hits your vehicle.
● How to avoid paint chipping
Keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead
reduces the chances of having your paint chipped by flying
gravel.
Follow all label and container directions when using a chemical
cleaner or polish. Read a ll warnings and cautions.

Maintenance and Care
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings, industrial fallout, and similar
deposits can damage the finish if not removed immediately. When
prompt washing with plain water is ineffective, use a mild soap
made for use on vehicles.
Thoroughly rinse off all soap with lukewarm or cold water. Do n ot
allow soap to dry on the finish.
After washing the vehicle, dry it with a clean chamois to preve nt
water spots from forming.
● When using an autom atic car wash
• Retract the door mirrors.
• The automatic car wash brushes could reduce the paint luster or hasten paint deterioration.
● When using a high wate r pressure car wash
High water temperature and high water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of car wash machine. If the car
washer nozzle is put too close to the vehicle, the force of the
spray could damage or deform the molding, affect the sealability
of parts, and allow water to penetrate the interior. Keep a suf fi-
cient space (12 in. (300 mm) or more) between the nozzle and
the vehicle. In addition, do not spend too much time spraying t he
same area of the vehicle, and be very careful when spraying
between gaps in doors and around windows.
■Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when water no longer beads on th e
finish. Always wash and dry the vehicle before waxing it. In addition
to the vehicle body, wax the meta l trim to maintain its luster.
Use wax which contains no abrasives. Waxes containing abra-
sive will remove paint and coul d damage bright metal parts.
Use a good grade of natural wax for metallic, mica, and solid c ol-
ors.
When waxing, coat evenly with the sponge supplied or a soft
cloth.
Wipe off the wax w ith a soft cloth.

Maintenance and Care
Deep scratches or chips on the finish should be repaired promptly.
Exposed metal quickly rusts and can lead to major repairs.
• Use tar remover to remove road tar and insects. Never do this with
a knife or similar tool.
• To prevent corrosion on bright-metal surfaces, apply wax or ch rome
preservative and rub i t to a high luster.
• During cold weather or in coastal areas, cover bright-metal pa rts
with a coating of wax or preservative heavier than usual. It wo uld
also help to coat them with nonco rrosive petroleum jelly or some
other protective compound.
Repairing Damage to the Finish
NOTICE
If your Toyota is damaged and needs metal parts repaired or rep laced,
make sure the body shop applies anti-corrosion materials to all parts, both
repaired and new. This will prevent them from rusting.
Bright-Metal Maintenance
NOTICE
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 result in damage to the protective coating and cause discol-
oration or paint deterioration.

4485-4. Appearance Care
YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)
Road chemicals and salt used for ice and snow removal and solvents
used for dust control may collect on the underbody. If not remo ved,
they will speed up rust ing and deterioration of such underbody parts
as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust system, even though these
parts may be coated with anti-corrosive material.
Thoroughly flush the underbody and wheel housings with lukewarm or
cold water at the end of each wi nter. Try also to do this every month.
Pay special attention to these areas because they easily hide m ud
and dirt. It will do more harm than good to wet down the road grime
without removing it.
The lower edges of doors, rocker panels, and frame members have
drain holes that should not be clogged. Water trapped there wil l cause
rusting.
A protective coating is provided over the aluminum wheels. Spec ial
care is needed to protect this coating.
Underbody Maintenance
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.

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.
