Front side windows water-repellent coating
●
The following precautions can extend the effectiveness of the water-repellent coating.
• 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 windows.
• Do not use any metallic objects to remove condensation build up.
●
When the water-repellent performance has become insufficient, the coating can be
repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer.
■
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.

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 suffi-
ciently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.

If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may malfunction.
