■Before programming Home-
Link
®
During programming, it is pos-
sible that garage doors, 
gates, or other devices may 
operate. For this reason, 
make sure that people and 
objects are clear of the 
garage door or other devices 
to prevent injury or other 
potential harm.
 It is recommended that a new 
battery be placed in the 
remote control transmitter for 
more accurate programming.
 Garage door opener motors 
manufactured after 1995 may 
be equipped with rolling code  protection. If this is the case, 
you may need a stepladder or 
other sturdy, safe device to 
reach the “Learn” or “Smart” 
button on the garage door 
opener motor.

standards
Do not use the HomeLink
® com-
patible transceiver with any 
garage door opener or device that 
lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by federal safety 
standards.
This includes any garage door 
that cannot detect an interfering 
object. A door or device without 
these features increases the risk 
of death or se rious injury.

3286-1. Maintenance and care
6-1.Maintenance and care
Working from top to bottom, 
liberally 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 
thoroughly with water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the 
waterproof coating deterio-
rates.
If water does not bead on a clean 
surface, apply wax when the vehi-
cle body is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Before washing the vehicle:
• Fold the mirrors
• Turn off the power back door (if  equipped)
Start washing from the front of the 
vehicle. Extend the mirrors before 
driving.
■High pressure car washes
As water may ent er the cabin, do 
not bring the nozzle tip near the  gaps around the doors or perimeter 
of the windows, or spray these 
areas continuously.
■When using a car wash (vehi-
cles with a smart key 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 following correction pro-
cedures to wash the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 
m) 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 bat-
tery-saving mode to disable the 
smart key system. ( P.119)
●If you need to release the parking 
brake, turn off the brake hold sys-
tem, shift the shift  lever to N, then 
release the parking brake and set 
the engine switch to ACC. 
(  P.172)
■Wheels and wheel ornaments
●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 obs erve the follow-
ing 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 pads and calipers
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 
washed, drive slo wly and apply the 
brakes several times to dry the 
parts.
Cleaning and protect-
ing the vehicle exte-
rior

Maintenance and care
■Bumpers and side moldings (if 
equipped)
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the 
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with an 
approximately 5% solution of neu-
tral detergent and water to clean 
the dirt off.
●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft 
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
If the paint of the rear bumper is 
chipped or scratched, the follow-
ing systems may not function cor-
rectly. 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 nea r 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 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.

3306-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the 
windshield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away 
from the windshield, pull the driver 
side wiper arm upward first, and 
repeat for the passenger side. 
When returning the wipers to their 
original position,  do so from the 
passenger side first.
■When using a high pressure 
car wash
●When washing the vehicle, do 
not spray the came ra or its sur-
rounding area directly with a 
high pressure washer. Shock 
applied from high pressure 
water may cause the device to 
not operate normally.
●Do not spray water directly on 
the radar which is equipped 
behind the emblem. Otherwise 
it may cause the device to be 
damaged.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close 
to boots (rubber or resin manu-
factured cover), connectors or 
the following parts. The parts 
may be damaged if they come 
into contact with high-pressure 
water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at 
least 11.9 in. (30 cm) away from 
the vehicles bod y. Otherwise 
resin section, such as moldings 
and bumpers, may be deformed 
and damaged. Also, do not con-
tinuously 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.
●Do not wash the underside of 
the vehicle using a high pres-
sure car washer.
