WARNING
■When cleaning the windshield (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wip-
ers)
Set the wipers to the intermittent wind-
shield wipers. ( P.150)
If AUTO mode is se lected, the wipers
may operate unexpectedly in the follow-
ing situations, and may result in hands
being caught or other serious injuries
and cause damage to the wiper blades.
●When the upper part of the windshield
where the raindrop sensor is located is
touched by hand
●When a wet rag or si milar is held close
to the raindrop sensor
●If something bumps against the wind-
shield
●If you directly touch the raindrop sen-
sor body or if something bumps into
the raindrop sensor
■Precautions regarding the exhaust
pipes and rear bumper diffusers
Exhaust gases cause the exhaust pipes
and rear bumper diffusers to become
quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not
to touch the pipes and diffusers until they
have cooled sufficiently, as touching hot
exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers
can cause burns.
■Precaution regarding the rear

If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped
or scratched, the following systems may
not function correctly. If this occurs, con-
sult your Lexus dealer.
●Lexus Safety System + 2.5
●BSM
●RCTA
●PKSB (if equipped)
NOTICE
■To prevent paint deterioration and
corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (aluminum wheels, etc.)
●Wash the vehicle immediately in the
following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on the
paint surface
• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron
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
●If the paint is chipped or scratched,
have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corroding,
remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity when storing the
wheels.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic
substances or scrub with a hard brush.
This may damage the surfaces of the
lights.

stery, as they may stick to the leather
surface if the vehicle interior heats up
significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system
may be damaged if water comes into
contact with electrical components such
as the audio system above or under the
floor of the vehicl e. Water may also
cause the body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of the wind-
shield
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact the
lens. Also, do not touch the lens.

1 Soak a cloth in lukewarm water
(approximately 104°F [40°C]),
wring it out thoroughly and then
wipe the entire body.
Wipe carefully so that the pile is not dishev-
eled. Be sure to prepare a clean cloth.

cloth, rinse it until it is completely clean
before using the cloth again.
2 Once it has dried, use a lint brush
or the like to comb the pile.
■When cleaning the artificial
leather (Ultrasuede

If liquid is spilled onto the surface, apply tissue paper or the like to
absorb the liquid.
If any substance such as mud or cof-
fee dries and becomes stuck to the
surface, use a lint brush or the like to
lightly brush the dirty area and
remove the substance. Then, it is
recommended to clean the dried
substance from the surface using a
vacuum cleaner.
For oil-based substances, use a dry
cloth or tissue paper to wipe off the
substance as much as possible,
while being careful not to spread it.
If the substance still cannot be
removed, use the following procedure

in benzene, lukewarm water or pure ethyl
alcohol (for drinking) within the dirty area
from the outside inward, and then dab a
dry cloth on the dirty area to absorb the
substance.
