cloth to remove any remaining 
moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alco-
hol wet wipes or a similar product.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of 
the engine compartment. Doing 
so may cause the electrical com-
ponents, etc. to catch fire.
■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 sufficiently, as touch-
ing a hot exhaust pipe can cause 
burns.
■Precaution regarding the rear 
bumper with Blind Spot Moni-
tor (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 deteriora-
tion and corrosion on the 
body and components (alumi-
num 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 tre e 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 chem-
ical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily  soiled with d ust 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 cor-
roding, remove any dirt and 
store in a place  with low humid-
ity 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.
●Do not apply wax to the sur-
faces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the 
lenses.
■When using a high pressure 
car wash
●When washing the vehicle, do 
not spray the camera or its sur-

7-2.Maintenance
■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine 
Toyota parts be used for repairs to 
ensure performanc e of each sys-
tem. If non-Toyota parts are used in 
replacement or if a repair shop other 
than a Toyota dealer performs 
repairs, confirm the warranty cover-
age.
■Allow inspection and repairs to 
be performed by a Toyota 
dealer
●Toyota technicians are 
well-trained specialists and are 
kept up to date with the latest ser-
vice information. They are well 
informed about the operation of all 
systems on your vehicle.
●Keep a copy of the repair order. It 
proves that the maintenance that 
has been performed is under war-
ranty coverage. If any problem 
should arise while your vehicle is 
under warranty, your Toyota 
dealer will promptly take care of it.
General maintenance should be 
performed on a daily basis. This 
can be done by yourself or by a 
Toyota dealer.
Scheduled maintenance should 
be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
For details about maintenance 
items and schedules, refer to the 
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or 
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
Maintenance require-
ments
To ensure safe and econom-
ical driving, day-to-day care 
and regular maintenance 
are essential. It is the 
owner’s responsibility to 
perform regular checks. 
Toyota recommends the 
maintenance below.
WARNING
■If your vehicle is not properly 
maintained
Improper maintenance could 
result in serious damage to the 
vehicle and possible death or seri-
ous injury.

cancer and birth defects and 
other reproductive harm. Work 
in a well ventilated area.
●Oils, fuels and fluids contained 
in vehicles as well as waste pro-
duced by component wear con-
tain or emit chemicals known to 
the State of California to cause 
cancer and birth defects or 
other reproductive harm. Avoid
