Maintenance and care
■Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■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.
WA R N I N G
■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.
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
●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.
■Precaution regarding the rear
bumper with Blind Spot Monitor
(if equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is
chipped or scratche d, the system may
malfunction. If this occurs, consult with any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
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, in sect 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

4627-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
• 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.
■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.
■When using a high pressure car wash
●Vehicles with rear view monitor sys-
tem: When washing the vehicle, do not spray the camera or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from high pressure water may
cause the device to not operate
normally.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or resin manufac- tured cover), connectors or the fol-
lowing parts. The parts may be
damaged if they come into contact with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
•Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at least
30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-
cles 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.
●Do not spray the lower part of the windshield continuously. If water
enters the air c onditioning system
intake located near the lower part of the windshield, the air conditioning
system may not operate correctly.
