6-1.Mainte nance a nd care
Working from top to bottom, lib-
erally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside
of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge 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 water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean sur-
face, apply wax when the vehicle body
is cool.
 Vehicles with a canvas top:
Vacuuming of outer canvas before
washing is helpful in removing dust and
other foreign particles.
Follow the procedure shown below:
• Brush off any loose dirt and rinse off
with a hose.
• Using a sponge, wash with a mild
solution of soap (hand soap) in luke-
warm water.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove soap.
■Automatic car washes
●Vehicles with a canvas top: Do not use the automatic car washes.
●Before washing the vehicle:• Fold the mirrors.• Remove the pole antenna
Start washing from the front of the vehi-
cle. Extend the mirrors and pole
antenna before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle sur-
face, parts (wheel, etc.) and harm your vehicle’s paint.
■High pressure car washes
●Vehicles with a canvas top: Do not use the high pressure car washes.
●As water may enter the cabin, do not bring the nozzle tip near the gaps around the doors or perimeter of the
windows, or spray these areas contin- uously.
■When using a car wash (vehicles with smart entry & start system)
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In that case, follow the fol- lowing correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.)
or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is
not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry & start system. ( P.103)
■Wheels and wheel ornaments (vehi- cles without matte black painted
wheels)
●Remove any dirt immediately by using
a neutral detergent.
●Wash detergent off with water immedi-
ately after use.
●To protect the paint from damage,

■Where to go for maintenance ser-
vice?
In order to maintain your vehicle in the best possible condition, Toyota recom-
mends that maintenance service opera- tions as well as other inspections and repairs be carried out by authorized Toy-
ota retailers or Toyota authorized repair- ers, or any reliable repairers. For repairs and services covered by your warranty,
please visit an authorized Toyota retailer or repairer, who will use genuine Toyota parts in repairing any difficulties you
may encounter. There can also be advantages in utilizing authorized Toy-ota retailers or repairers for non-war-
ranty repairs and services, as members of the Toyota network will be able to expertly assist you with any difficulties
you may encounter.
Your Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer will per- form all of the scheduled maintenance on your vehicle reliably and economi-
cally due to their experience with Toyota vehicles.
Scheduled maintenance should be
performed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance
schedule.
For full details of your maintenance
schedule, read the “Toyota Service
Booklet” or “Toyota Warranty Booklet”.
What about do-it-yourself mainte-
nance?
Many of the maintenance items are
easy to do yourself if you have a little
mechanical ability and a few basic
automotive tools.
Note, however, that some maintenance
tasks require special tools and skills.
These are best performed by qualified
technicians. Even if you’re an experi-
enced do-it-yourself mechanic, we rec-
ommend that repairs and maintenance
be conducted by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer. Any authorized
Toyota retailer or repairer will keep a
record of maintenance, which could be
useful should you ever require War-
ranty Service. Should you choose to
select a qualified and equipped profes-
sional other than an authorized Toyota
repairer to service or maintain your
vehicle, we recommend that you

WARNING
●Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel or the battery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when work-ing on the battery. It contains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid can
harm your hands or eyes and dam- age painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush
the affected area with clean water immediately.If you still experience discomfort,
consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric
cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is OFF. With the engine switch in ON, the
electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is
high. ( P.261)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil-ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■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 or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.

Check the battery as follows.
■Battery exterior
Make sure that the battery termi-
nals are not corroded and that there
are no loose connections, cracks,
or loose clamps.
Terminals
Hold-down clamp
■Checking battery fluid
Check that the level is between the
“Upper line” and “Lower line” lines.
“Upper line”
“Lower line”
Add distilled water before the fluid level
drops below the “Lower line”.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Therefore, observe the fol-lowing precautions before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the
charger is off when connecting and disconnecting the charger cables to the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the
battery (vehicles with smart entry & start system)
●Unlocking the doors using the smart entry & start system may not be possi-ble immediately after reconnecting the
battery. If this happens, use the wire- less remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine switch in ACC. The engine may not
start with the engine switch turned off. However, the engine will operate nor-mally from the second attempt.
●The engine switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the battery is recon-
nected, the vehicle will return the engine switch mode to the status it was in before the battery was discon-
nected. Make sure to turn off the engine before disconnecting the bat-
tery. Take extra care when connecting the battery if the engine switch mode prior to discharge is unknown.
If the system will not start even after
multiple attempts, contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
