3084-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime
condition.
● Working from top to bottom, liber ally apply water to the vehicl e
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any
dirt and dust.
● Wash the vehicle body using a s ponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the wat erproof coating deteriorates.If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the v ehicle
body is cool.

Maintenance and care ■ Automatic car washes
● Fold the mirrors before washing the vehicle. Start washing from the front
of the vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.
● Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle su rface
and harm your vehicle’s paint.
■ High pressure car washes
● Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity
of the windows.
● Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on y our vehicle
is closed properly.
■ Aluminum wheels
● Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent.
● Wash detergent off with water immediately after use.
● To protect the paint from damage, make sure to observe the foll owing
precautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after
driving or parking in hot weather
■ Brake (vehicles with brembo brake)
● Painted brake calipers
• When using detergent, use neutral detergent. Do not use hard b rushes
or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the paint.
• Do not use detergent on the brake calipers when they are hot.
• Wash detergent off immediately after use.
● Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with wet brake pads or disc rotors,
causing them to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is w ashed, drive
slowly and apply the brakes several times to dry the parts.
■ Parts containing resin such as the bumper
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

3104-1. Maintenance and care
WARNING■ When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doi ng so may
cause the electrical components etc. to catch fire.
■ Precautions regardin g the exhaust pipes
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffuser s 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 pi pes and rear
bumper diffusers can cause burns.
NOTICE■ To prevent paint deterioration an d corrosion on the body and co mpo-
nents (aluminum wheels etc.)
● Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If you see coal tar or tree sap on the paint surface
• If you see dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings on the paint
• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, m ine dust,
iron powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled in 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 immediat ely.
● To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity when storing the wheels.
■ Protective film for side sill plates
Make sure to remove the protective film. Failure to do so may c ause rust,
depending on conditions.

3464-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Installing tire pressure war ning valves and t ransmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves an d
transmitters must a lso be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are
installed, new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID c odes
must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and ti re
pressure warning system must be i nitialized. Have tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by your Toyot a
dealer. (  P. 346)
Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped wit h a
unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve an d
transmitter, it is necessary to r egister the ID code. Have the ID code
registered by your Toyota dealer.■ The tire pressure warning system
Your Toyota is equipped with a tire pressure warning system tha t
uses tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect lo w
tire inflation pressure befor e serious problems arise.

Maintenance and care ■
When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if: ●
The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.●
You have tire damage such as c uts, splits, cracks deep enough t o
expose the fabric or bulges indicating internal damage●
A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the
size or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consul t with your Toyota dealer.■
Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitt er is not
registered, the tire pressure w arning system will not work prop erly. After
driving for about 20 minutes, t he tire pressure warning light c omes on
after blinking for 1 minute to indicate a system malfunction.■
Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified techni cian even
if they have seldom or never b een used or damage is not obvious .
■
If the tread wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) on snow tires
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost.
■
Low profile tires
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire gr ip perfor-
mance will be reduced on snowy and /or icy roads wh en compared t o
standard tires. Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on sno wy and/or
icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appropriate for road a nd weather
conditions.

3484-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■
Maximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2
of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axl e or the
rear axle, whichever is greater.
■
Tire types
1 Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to hi ghway
driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have th e same
traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-cover ed
roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When
installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
2 All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in sno w and to
be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as f or use
year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate tra ction
performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Al so,
all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling perfor mance
compared with summer tires in highway driving.
3Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend us ing
snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same si ze, con-
struction and load capacity as th e originally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tir es without
first checking local regulations for possible restriction. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels. (  P. 261)For the GAWR, see the Certification
Label. For the maximum load of the
tire, see the load limit at maximum cold
tire inflation pressure mentioned on the
sidewall of the tire. (  P. 4 7 4 )
