■Safety information
■General information
In a vehicle wash, the vehicle
must be able to roll freely.
To roll or push the vehicle, refer
to page 133.
Some vehicle washes do not
permit persons in the vehicle.
The vehicle cannot be locked
from the outside when in selec-
tor lever position N. A signal
sounds when an attempt is
made to lock the vehicle.
Make sure that the remote con-
trol is in the vehicle.
Switch on drive-ready state,
refer to page 46.
Do not rub wet lights dry and do
not use abrasive, acidic clean-
ing agents or cleaning agents
containing alcohol.
Soak areas that have been dirt-
ied, for instance from insects,
with shampoo and wash off with water.
Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do
not use an ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle, apply
the brakes briefly to dry them;
otherwise, braking action can be
reduced. The heat generated
during braking dries brake discs
and brake pads and protects
them against corrosion.
Completely remove all residues
on the windows, to minimize
loss of visibility due to smearing
and to reduce wiper noises and
wiper blade wear.
Regular care contributes to driv-

ing safety and value retention.
Environmental influences in
areas with elevated air pollution
or natural contaminants, such as
tree resin or pollen can affect
the vehicle's paintwork. Tailor
the frequency and extent of your
vehicle care to these influences.
Aggressive substances such as
spilled fuel, oil, grease or bird
droppings, must be removed
immediately to prevent the finish
from being altered or discolored.
Perform the following to protect
the vehicle.
Working from top to bottom,
liberally apply water to the
vehicle body, wheel wells and
underside of the vehicle to
remove any dirt and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using
a sponge or soft cloth, such
as a chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks,
use a neutral detergent and
rinse thoroughly with water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Never use wax or abrasive
compounds.
Matte finishSafety information
WARNING
Improperly performed work on the
vehicle paint can lead to a failure
or malfunction of the radar sen-
sors and thereby result in a safety
risk. There is a risk of accidents or
risk of damage to property. Have
paintwork or paintwork repairs on
bumpers of vehicles with radar
sensors performed by your Toyota
dealer only.
NOTICE
■To prevent paint deteriora-
tion and corrosion on the
body and components (alumi-
num wheels etc.)
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Wash the vehicle immediately in
the following cases:
• After driving nea r 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 chem-
ical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with d ust 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.

Remove dust from the leather
regularly, using a cloth or vac-
uum cleaner.
Otherwise, particles of dust and
road grime chafe in pores and
folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degrada-
tion of the leather surface.
To guard against discoloration,
such as from clothing, clean
leather and provide leather care
roughly every two months.
Clean light-colored leather more
frequently because soiling on
such surfaces is substantially
more visible.
Use leather care products; oth-
erwise, dirt and grease will grad-
ually break down the protective layer of the leather surface.
Clean synthetic leather regularly
with a damp microfiber cloth or
vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, dust and road grime
particles will rub into pores and
folds, causing significant abra-
sion and premature degrada-
tion of the surface.
In case of major soiling, use a
moist soft sponge or microfiber
cloth with suitable interior clean-
ers.
Immediately remove aggressive
substances such as sunscreen
to prevent the synthetic leather
from being altered or discolored.
Vacuum the upholstery regularly
with a vacuum cleaner.
If upholstery is very dirty, for
instance with beverage stains,
use a soft sponge or microfiber
cloth with a suitable interior
cleaner.
Clean the upholstery down to
the seams using large sweeping
motions. Avoid rubbing the
material vigorously.
NOTICE
●To prevent the wheels from cor-
roding, remove any dirt and
store in a place with low humid-
ity when storing the wheels.
For the matte finish, pay attention
to the following as well:
●If anything is spilled on a
painted surface, wipe it off as
soon as possible. If spilled
washer fluid or alkaline fluids
are left as is, the paint in the
affected area may deteriorate,
causing blemishing.
●Do not wax or apply coating to
the vehicle. Doing so may
cause a change in the body sur-
face's texture or irregularities in
the paint.

When cleaning the vehicle, use
only neutral wheel cleaners hav-
ing a pH value from 5 to 9. Do
not use abrasive cleaning
agents or steam jets above 140
°F/60 °C. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents can destroy the
protective layer of adjacent
components, such as the brake
disc.
After cleaning, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them. The heat
generated during braking dries
brake discs and brake pads and
protects them against corrosion.
Carefully clean components
such as the radiator grille or
door handles with plenty of
water, possibly with shampoo
added, particularly when they have been exposed to road salt.
Environmental influences can
cause surface soiling of rubber
parts and a loss of gloss. Use
only water and suitable cleaning
agents for cleaning.
Treat especially worn rubber
parts with rubber care agents at
regular intervals. When cleaning
rubber seals, do not use any sili-
con-containing vehicle care
products in order to avoid dam-
age or noises.
The wiper blades are cleaned by
using the washer system.
Avoid cleaning the wiper blades
manually, as this may reduce
wiper performance.
Clean with a microfiber cloth.
Dampen cloth lightly with water.
Do not soak the roofliner.

NOTICE
Open hook-and-loop fasteners on
articles of clothing can damage

plastic parts. Ther e is a risk of
damage to property. Clean with a
microfiber cloth. Dampen cloth
lightly with water.

Dirty belt straps impede the reel-
ing action and thus have a neg-
ative impact on safety.
Use only a mild soapy solution
for cleaning the installed belt
straps.
Safety belts should only be
allowed to retract if they are dry.
The floor mats can be removed
from the car's interior for clean-
ing.
If the floor carpets are very dirty, clean with a microfiber cloth and
water or a textile cleaner. To
prevent matting of the carpet,
rub back and forth in the direc-
tion of travel only.
To clean sensors and camera
lenses, use a cloth moistened
with a small amount of glass
detergent.
Use a dry, clean antistatic micro-
fiber cloth.
Clean the protective glass of the
Head-up Display, refer to page
154, using a microfiber cloth and
commercially available
dish-washing soap.

belts. There is a ri
sk of injuries or
danger to life. Use only a mild
soapy solution for cleaning the
safety belts.
Carpets and floor mats
WARNING
Objects in the dri ver's floor area
can limit the peda l distance or
block a depressed pedal. There is
a risk of an accident. Stow objects
in the vehicle such that they are
secured and cannot enter into the
driver's floor area. Use floor mats
that are suitable for the vehicle
and can be safely attached to the
floor. Do not use loose floor mats
and do not layer several floor
mats. Make sure that there is suf-
ficient clearance for the pedals.
Ensure that the floor mats are
securely fastened again after they
were removed, fo r instance for
cleaning.

Chemical cleansers, moisture or
fluids of any kind can damage the
surface of display s and screens.
There is a risk of damage to prop-
erty. Clean with a clean, antistatic
microfiber cloth.
NOTICE
The surface of displays can be
damaged with improper cleaning.
There is a risk of damage to prop-
erty. Avoid pressure that is too
high and do not use any scratch-
ing materials.
