Maintenance and care
parking in hot weather
QBrake pads and calipers
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.
QBumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
QFront side windows water-repellent
coating
OThe following precautions can extend the
effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-
ing.
• Remove any dirt, etc. from the front side
windows regularly.
• Do not allow dirt and dust to accumulate 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 win-
dows.
• Do not use any metallic objects to
remove condensation build up.
OWhen the water-repellent performance
has become insufficient, the coating can
be repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer.
QPlated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the parts as
follows:
OUse a soft cloth dampened with an
approximately 5% solution of neutral
detergent and water to clean the dirt off.
OWipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth to
remove any remaining moisture.
OTo remove oily deposits, use alcohol wet
wipes or a similar product.
WARNING
QWhen 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.
QWhen cleaning the windshield (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wip-
ers)
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wip-
ers may operate unexpectedly in the fol-
lowing situations, and may result in hands
being caught or other serious injuries
and cause damage to the wiper blades.
Off
AUTO
OWhen the upper part of the windshield
where the raindrop sensor is located is
touched by hand
OWhen a wet rag or similar is held close
to the raindrop sensor
OIf something bumps against the wind-
shield
OIf you directly touch the raindrop sen-
sor body or if something bumps into
the raindrop sensor
QPrecautions regarding the exhaust
pipes
As exhaust gases cause the exhaust
pipes to become quite hot, do not touch
the exhaust pipes while the hybrid system
is operating or immediately after the
hybrid system is turned off.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not
to touch the exhaust pipes until they have
cooled sufficiently, as touching hot
exhaust pipes can cause burns.

WARNING
QPrecaution regarding the rear
bumper with Blind Spot Monitor
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped
or scratched, the system may malfunc-
tion. If this occurs, consult your Lexus

NOTICE
QTo prevent paint deterioration and
corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (aluminum wheels etc.)
OWash the vehicle immediately in the
following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar, pollen or tree sap is present on the paint surface

powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint surface
OIf the paint is chipped or scratched,
have it repaired immediately.
OTo prevent the wheels from corroding,
remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity when storing the
wheels.
QCleaning the exterior lights
OWash carefully. Do not use organic
substances or scrub with a hard brush.
This may damage the surfaces of the
lights.
ODo not apply wax to the surfaces of the
lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
QWhen using an automatic car wash
(vehicles with rain-s ensing windshield
wipers)
Set the wiper switch to the off position.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wip-
ers may operate and the wiper blades
may be damaged.
QWhen using a high pressure car wash
OWhen washing the vehicle, do not
spray the camera or its surrounding
area directly with a high pressure
washer. Shock applied from high pres-
sure water may cause the device to not
operate normally.
ODo not spray water directly on the
radar which is equipped behind the
emblem. Otherwise it may cause the
device to be damaged.
ODo not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or resin manufactured
cover), connectors or the following
parts. The parts may be damaged if
they come into contact with high-pres-
sure water.
• Traction related parts
•Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
OKeep the cleaning nozzle at least 11.9
in. (30 cm) away from the vehicle
body. Otherwise resin section, such as
moldings and bumpers, may be
deformed and damaged. Also, do not
continuously hold the nozzle in the
same place.
ODo not spray the lower part of the
windshield continuously.
If water enters the air conditioning sys-
tem intake located near the lower part
of the windshield, the air conditioning
system may not operate correctly.

cle using a high pressure car washer.
