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

6-4. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When replacing wheels, care
should be taken to ensure that they
are equivalent to those removed in
load capacity, diameter, rim width
and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available
at any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Toyota does not recommend using
the following:
z Wheels of different sizes or types
z Used wheels
z Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire
inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be
installed. ( →P.281)
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or
heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire
may separate from the wheel
or cause a loss of handling
control.
Wheel selection
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a differ-
ent size from those recommended in the Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
●Never use an inner tube in a leak-ing wheel which is designed for a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
■When installing the wheel nuts
Never use oil or grease on the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts. Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and
the wheel may fall off, causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or
grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
■Use of defective wheels prohib-ited
Do not use cracked or deformed
wheels. Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
●Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. In addition, make sure to purchase your tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency
tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or
screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tempo-
rarily using the emergency tire
puncture repair kit. (The kit
contains a bottle of sealant.
The sealant can be used only
once to temporarily repair one
tire without removing the nail
or screw from the tire.)
Depending on the damage, this
kit cannot be used to repair the
tire. ( →P.326)
After temporarily repairing the
tire with the kit, have the tire
repaired or replaced by any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer. Repairs
conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
are only a temporary measure.
Have the tire repaired and
replaced as soon as possible.
WARNING
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel beyond repair, which could
result in an accident.
