Automatic car washes
●
Fold the mirrors before washing the vehicle. Start washing from the front of the
vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.
●
Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and harm
your vehicle’s paint.
■
High pressure car washes
●
Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of the win-
dows and the air suspension unit (if equipped).
●
Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed
properly.
■
Aluminum wheels
●
Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard
brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical cleaners.
Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.
●
Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after driving for
long distance in the hot weather.
●
Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
■
Bumpers and side moldings
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■
Front side windows water-repellent coating
●
The following precautions can extend the effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-
ing.
• 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 win-
dows.
• 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.
