2766-1. Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a vac-
uum cleaner.
 Wipe it off with a soft cloth damp-
ened with neutral detergent diluted
to approximately 1%.
 Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent and
water.
It is recommended that regular mainte-
nance should be performed for areas
that are frequently touched to maintain
quality.
■Routine maintenance
This maintenance is most effective if
performed regularly (around once per
month).
1 Soak a cloth in lukewarm water
(approximately 104°F [40°C]),
wring it out thoroughly and then
wipe the entire body.
Wipe carefully so that the pile is not dishev-
eled. Be sure to prepare a clean cloth.
Once you have wiped the part with the
cloth, rinse it until it is completely clean
before using the cloth again.
2 Once it has dried, use a lint brush
or the like to comb the pile.
■When cleaning the artificial
leather (Ultrasuede
®)
 If liquid is spilled onto the surface, apply tissue paper or the like to
absorb the liquid.
 If any substance such as mud or cof-
fee dries and becomes stuck to the
surface, use a lint brush or the like to
lightly brush the dirty area and
remove the substance. Then, it is
recommended to clean the dried
substance from the surface using a
vacuum cleaner.
 For oil-based substances, use a dry
cloth or tissue paper to wipe off the
substance as much as possible,
while being careful not to spread it.
If the substance still cannot be
removed, use the following procedure
to remove it.
1 Liquid substances: Soak a cloth in
lukewarm water (approximately
104°F [40°C]), wring it out thor-
oughly and then wipe the dirty area
from the outside inward.
Wipe carefully so that the pile is not dishev-
eled. Be sure to prepare a clean cloth and
use the clean portion of it to clean the sur-
face.
Oil-based substances: Dab a cloth soaked
in benzene, lukewarm water or pure ethyl
alcohol (for drinking) within the dirty area
from the outside inward, and then dab a
dry cloth on the dirty area to absorb the
substance.
2 If the pile on the surface is dishev-
eled, use a lint brush or the like to
lightly brush the surface, and then
allow the surface to dry completely.

2946-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■Checking fluid level
The brake fluid level should be
between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines
on the tank.
■Adding fluid
Make sure to check the fluid type and
prepare the necessary item.
 Fluid type
SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT 3
brake fluid
Item
Clean funnel
■Brake fluid can absorb moisture from
the air
Excess moisture in the brake fluid can cause
a dangerous loss of br aking efficiency. Use
only newly opened brake fluid.
Check the battery as follows.
■Battery exterior
Make sure that the battery terminals
are not corroded and that there are no
loose connections, cracks, or loose
clamps.
Terminals
Hold-down clamp
■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces
hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Therefore, observe the following
before recharging:
●If recharging with th e battery installed on
the vehicle, be sure to disconnect the
ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the char-
ger is off when connecting and discon-
necting the charger cables to the battery.
Checking and adding the brake
fluid
WARNING
■When filling the reservoir
Take care as brake fluid can harm your
hands and eyes and damage painted sur-
faces.
If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes,
flush the affected area with clean water
immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, see a
doctor.
NOTICE
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go
down slightly as the brake pads wear out
or when the fluid level in the accumulator
is high.
If the reservoir need s frequent refilling,
there may be a serious problem.

●Is the fuel tank empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.
●Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The light will go off after several driving
trips.
If the light does not go off even after several
trips, contact your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible.
■Electric power steering system warning
light (warning buzzer)
When the battery charge becomes insuffi-
cient or the voltage temporarily drops, the
electric power steeri ng system warning
light may come on and the warning buzzer
may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning light
comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punc-
tured.
If a tire is punctured: P.341
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the engine switch off then turn it to
IGNITION ON mode. Check if the tire
pressure warning light comes on or blinks.
If the tire pressure wa rning light blinks for
approximately 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire
pressure warning system. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer immedi-
ately.
If the tire pressure warning light comes
on
1 After the temperature of the tires has
lowered sufficiently, check the inflation
pressure of each tire and adjust them to
the specified level.
2 If the warning light does not turn off
even after several minutes have
elapsed, check that the inflation pres-
sure of each tire is at the specified level
and perform initialization. ( P.301)
■The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come
on due to natural causes such as natural air
leaks and tire inflation pressure changes
caused by temperature. In this case, adjust-ing the tire inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with the spare
tire
The spare tire is not equipped with a tire
pressure warning valve and transmitter. If a
tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light
will not turn off even th ough the flat tire has
been replaced with the spare tire.
■Conditions that the tire pressure warn-
ing system may not function properly
P.299
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system
warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immedi-
ately and contact your Lexus dealer.
The vehicle will become extremely
unstable during br aking, and the ABS
system may fail, which could cause an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
■When the electric power steering
system warning light comes on
When the light comes on yellow, the
assist to the power st eering is restricted.
When the light comes on red, the assist
to the power steering is lost and handling
operations of the steering wheel become
extremely heavy.
When steering wheel operations are
heavier than usual, grip the steering
wheel firmly and operate it using more
force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
Be sure to observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in death or
serious injury.
●Decelerate to the lowest appropriate
speed as soon as possible. Do not
drive over 50 mph (80 km/h).

When trouble arises
WARNING
●Never apply oil or grease to the wheel
bolts or their contact surface on the
wheel .
Doing so may cause the wheel bolts to
be tightened excessively, leading to
damage to the wheel bolts, the
threaded portion the wheel bolts install
to , or the wheel.
Also, the wheel bolts may come loose,
possibly leading to the wheel coming
off, causing a serious accident.
If oil or grease is at tached to either of
these parts, remove it.
Steel wheel
Aluminum wheel
●When installing a wheel, use the same
wheel bolts that we re removed with
the wheel. Also, do not use any wheel
bolts other than Lexus Genuine wheel
bolts.
●Do not attach a heavily damaged
wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
●If a wheel bolt hole in a wheel or the
threads of a wheel bolt or the wheel
hub are deformed, cracked, rusty or
otherwise damaged, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.

■When tightening the wheel bolts
Do not tighten the wheel bolts exces-
sively. Doing so may cause the wheel
bolts, the threads of the wheel hub, or the
wheel to be damaged.
■Guide pin
When removing or inst alling a tire, make
sure to use the guide pin.
Also, the guide pin is made of resin. It
may be damaged if the wheel is placed
anywhere other than or if a large
amount of force is applied to the guide
pin.

●Remember that the compact spare tire
provided is specific ally designed for
use with your vehicle. Do not use your
compact spare tire on another vehicle.
●Do not use more than one compact
spare tires simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire with a
standard tire as soon as possible.
