Check the interior of your vehicle.

Wa-

ter and dirt can accumulate under the

floor mats and could cause corrosion. Oc-
casionally check under the mats to make

sure the area is dry. Be particularly care-

ful when transporting chemicals, cleans-
ers, fertilizers, salt, etc.; these should be

transported in proper containers. If a spill

or leak should occur, immediately clean
and dry the area.

Use mud shields on your wheels.

If you

drive on salted or gravel roads, mud
shields help protect your vehicle. Full

−

size

shields, which come as near to the ground

as possible, are the best. We recommend
that the fittings and the area where the

shields are installed be treated to resist

corrosion. Your Toyota dealer will be
happy to assist in supplying and installing

the shields if they are recommended for
your area.

Keep your vehicle in a well ventilated

garage or a roofed place. Do not park
your vehicle in a damp, poorly venti-

lated garage.

If you wash your vehicle in

the garage, or if you drive it covered with
water or snow, your garage may be so

damp and it will cause corrosion. Even if

your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can
corrode if the ventilation is poor.

Washing your Toyota
Keep your vehicle clean by regular

washing.

The following cases may cause weakness

to the paint or corrosion to the body and
parts. Wash your vehicle as soon as pos-

sible.

When driving in a coastal area

When driving on a road sprinkled with

antifreeze

When having coal tar, tree sap, bird

droppings and carcass of an insect

When driving in the areas where there

is a lot of smoke, soot, dust, iron dust

and chemical substances

When the vehicle becomes remarkably

dirty with dust and mud

Hand

−

washing your Toyota

Work in the shade and wait until the
vehicle body is not hot to the touch.

CAUTION

When cleaning under floor or chassis,
be careful not to injure your hands.

1. Rinse off loose dirt with a hose. Re-

move any mud or road salt from the

underside of the vehicle or in the
wheel wells.

2. Wash with a mild car

−

wash soap,

mixed according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use a soft cotton mitt and

keep it wet by dipping it frequently into

the wash water. Do not rub hard—let
the soap and water remove the dirt.

Plastic wheel ornaments: The plastic
wheel ornaments are damaged easily by

organic substances. If any organic sub-

stances splashes an ornament, be sure to
wash it off with water and check if the

ornament is damaged.

CAUTION

Do not attach the heavily damaged
plastic wheel ornament. It may fly off

the wheel and cause accidents while

the vehicle is moving.

Aluminum wheels: Use only a mild soap

or neutral detergent.
Plastic bumpers: Wash carefully. Do not

scrub with abrasive cleaners. The bumper
faces are soft.
