6-1. Maintenance and care
WARNING
■ Precautions regarding the exhaust
pipes and rear bumper diffusers
Exhaust gases cause the exhaust pipes
and rear bumper diffusers to become
quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not
to touch the pipes and diffusers until they
have cooled sufficiently, as touching hot
exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers
can cause burns.
■ Precaution regarding the rear
bumper
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped
or scratched, the following systems may
not function correctly. If this occurs, con-
sult your Lexus dealer.
● Lexus Safety 2.5
● BSM (if equipped)
● RCTA (if equipped)
● PKSB (if equipped)
NOTICE
■ To prevent paint deterioration and
corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (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, insect droppings or
bird droppings are present on the
paint surface
• After driving in an area contaminated
with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron
powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled
with dust 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.
● To prevent the wheels from corroding,
remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity when storing 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.

lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■ When using an automatic car wash
(vehicles with rain-sensing windshield
wipers)
Set the wiper switch to the off position.
(

If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wip-
ers may operate and the wiper blades
may be damaged.
■ When using a high pressure car wash
● When washing the vehicle, do not let
water of the high pressure washer hit
directly or the vicinity of the camera.
Due to the shock from the high pres-
sure water, it is possible the device may
not operate as normal.
● Do not spray water directly on the
radar which is equipped behind the
emblem. Otherwise it may cause the
device to be damaged.
● Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or resin manufactured
cover), connectors or the following
parts. The parts may be damaged if
they come into contact with high-pres-
sure water.
