Maintenance and care
make sure to observe the following
precautions. • Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes • Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driv-
ing or parking in hot weather
■Wheels and wheel ornaments (vehi- cles with matte black painted wheels)
As matte black painted wheels require different cleaning methods than conven-tional aluminum wheels, be sure to
observer the following. For details, con- sult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
●Remove dirt using water. If the wheels
are excessively dirty, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened with a diluted neutral detergent to remove the dirt.
●When using detergent, make sure to rinse it off with water immediately.
Then use a soft cloth to wipe off the water.
●To prevent the matte black paint from being damaged, make sure to observe the following precautions:
• Do not scrub or polish the wheels using a brush or dry cloth.• Do not use any wheel coatings or
abrasive detergents. • When using an automatic car wash, disable/do not select the wheel brush
function (if such an option is avail- able).• Do not use a high pressure washer or
steam cleaner. • Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driv-
ing or parking in hot weather.
■Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with wet brake pads or disc rotors, caus-
ing them to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed, drive slowly and apply the brakes several times to
dry the parts.
■Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■Plated portions (if equipped)
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.
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
(vehicles with rain-sensing wind- shield wipers)
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.

WARNING
●When a wet rag or similar is held close to the raindrop sensor
●If something bumps against the windshield
●If you directly touch the raindrop sensor body or if something bumps
into the raindrop sensor
■Precautions regarding the
exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot
exhaust pipe can cause burns.
NOTICE
■To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and
components (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 contami-
nated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron powder or chemical sub-stances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gas- oline are spilled on the paint sur-
face
●If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corrod-ing, remove any dirt and store in a place with low humidity when stor-
ing 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.
●Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the lights.Wax may cause damage to the
lenses.
■Pole antenna installation and
removal precautions
●Before driving, ensure that the pole antenna is installed.
●When the pole antenna is removed, such as before entering an auto-
matic car wash, make sure to store it in a suitable place so as not to lose it. Also, before driving, make
sure to reinstall the pole antenna in its original position.
■To prevent damage to the wind-shield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away
from the windshield, pull the driver side wiper arm upward first, and repeat for the passenger side. When
returning the wipers to their original position, do so from the passenger side first.
■When using an automatic car wash (vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
Set the wiper switch to the off posi- tion. If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”,
the wipers may operate and the wiper blades may be damaged.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Maintenance and care
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
Front
To equalize tire wear and help extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that tire
rotation is carried out approximately
every 10000 km (6000 miles).
When rotating front and rear tires which
have different tire inflation pressures,
do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system.
While the vehicle is in drive, the
system monitors the fluctuations in
the wheel speed signals that are
output by the speed sensor for the
brake control system.
It informs the driver if it detects a
low tire inflation pressure.
A warning with the tire pressure
warning light and warning buzzer
when there is a known level of low
tire pressure. (Ways of coping:
P.313, 324)
However, the system may not be
able to detect sudden tire ruptures
(bursting, etc.).
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does
not replace routine tire inflation pressure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation
pressure as part of your routine of daily vehicle checks.
■Situations in which the tire pres-sure warning system may not oper-
ate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pres-
sure warning system may not operate properly.• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are
used. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment)
tire. • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains, etc. are equipped. • An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is
NOTICE
■If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning ability of the tires. In addi-
tion, driving on rough roads may cause damage to the tires them-selves, as well as the vehicle’s
wheels and body.
