476 7-1. Maintenance and care
WARNING
■ Precaution regarding the rear
bumper with Blind Spot Monitor
(if equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is
chipped or scratched, the system may
malfunction. If this occurs, consult
your Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
■ To prevent paint deterioration
and corrosion on the body and
components (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 contami-
nated with soot, oily smoke, mine
dust, iron powder or chemical sub-
stances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily
soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gas-
oline are spilled on the paint sur-
face
● If the paint is chipped or scratched,
have it repaired immediately.
● To prevent the wheels from corrod-
ing, remove any dirt and store in a
place with low humidity when stor-
ing 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.
●
Do not apply wax to the surfaces of
the 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 off position.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the
wipers may operate and the wiper
blades may be damaged.
■ When using a high pressure car
wash
●
When washing the vehicle, do not
let water from the high-pressure
washer directly hit the camera (if
equipped) or the area around the
camera. Due to the shock from the
high pressure water, it is possible
that the device may not operate
normally.
● Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or resin manufac-
tured cover), or connectors or the
following parts.
The parts may be damaged if they
come into contact with high-pres-
sure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
●
Keep the cleaning nozzle at least
30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-
cle body. Otherwise resin section,
such as moldings and bumpers,
may be deformed and damaged.
Also, do not continuously hold the
nozzle in the same place.
● Do not spray the lower part of the
windshield continuously. If water
enters the air conditioning system
intake located near the lower part of
the windshield, the air conditioning
system may not operate correctly.
