6-1. Maintenance and care
Maintenance and care
late on the windows for a long period.
Clean the windows with a soft, damp cloth as soon as possible.• Do not use wax or glass cleaners that
contain abrasives when cleaning the windows.• Do not use any metallic objects to
remove condensation build up.
●When the water-repellent perfor-
mance has become insufficient, the coating can be repaired. Consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with an
approximately 5% solution of neutral 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 alcohol wet wipes or a similar product.
■Carbon film (if equipped)
●Do not attach a roof carrier on the car-bon-film. It may damage the film sur-
face.
●Only use low temperature water; 50°C
(122°F) or less, for an automatic car wash and high pressure washer.
Do not use the high pressure washer to
the film edge to avoid coming off.
●Do not take heated water more than 90°C (194°F) directly. It may cause the film to come off easily.
●Only use a neutral detergent which is approved for car wash use and water.
●Do not wax or apply a coating to the film to keep film textured appearance.
●Dirt like bird droppings and oil should be cleaned off with a neutral detergent
immediately.
■Brake
●Painted brake calipers
• When using detergent, use neutral
detergent. Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaners, as they will dam-age the paint.
• Do not use detergent on the brake cal- ipers 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 washed, drive
slowly and apply the brakes several times to dry the parts.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may cause the electrical components, etc.
to catch fire.
■When cleaning the windshield
Set the wiper switch to off. If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may operate unexpectedly in the following
situations, and may result in hands being caught or other serious injuries and cause damage to the wiper
blades.
Off
AUTO
●When the upper part of the wind- shield where the raindrop sensor is
located is touched by hand
●When a wet rag or similar is held
close to the raindrop sensor

6-2. Matte paint care guide (if equipped)
Dirt
Due to the slight unevenness, matte
clear coat surfaces are more likely to
trap dirt and other foreign matter com-
pared to normal clear coat surfaces.
If dirt or foreign matter is left on the
vehicle, it may settle into the textured
surface of the matte clear coat, making
it more difficult to remove. Additionally,
as the surface of the matte clear coat
will become more flat when dirty, the
vehicle body will start to look glossy,
ruining the textured finish.
Therefore, make sure to clean the vehi-
cle regularly and not allow dirt to remain
on the vehicle for extended periods of
time.
If dirt or foreign matter is allowed to set-
tle and cannot be cleaned off with nor-
mal washing, it will be necessary to
remove the dirt with the upper layer of
the textured finish and then to repaint
the entire part.
Ask your any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for details.
■Materials that may become difficult
to remove
The following are likely to settle into the
vehicle body and should be cleaned off
immediately.
●Rain water, sea water, and other liq-
uids that may cause water stains
●Sand, pollen, volcanic ash, and other
particulate matter
●Dead insects, bird droppings, etc.
●Sap, leaves, flowers, etc.
●Mud, snow, anti-freezing agents, and
other road debris
●Gasoline, engine oil, asphalt, and
other oily materials
■Do not wax or apply a coating to
the vehicle
Do not wax the vehicle or apply a coat-
ing to the vehicle body, as they will form
a film over the painted surfaces, filling
the matte clear coat surface, making it
more flat. As a result, it will become
more glossy, possibly permanently los-
ing its matte properties.

6-3. Maintenance
request that a record of maintenance
be kept.
■Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in perfor-
mance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some
important clues are:
●Engine misses (misfire), stumbling or
pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (How-
ever, water dripping from the air con-
ditioning system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may
indicate a dangerous carbon monox-
ide leak. Drive with the windows open
and have the exhaust system checked
immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire
squeal when cornering, uneven tire
wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven
straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension
movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy
feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal
(vehicles with a manual transmission),
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle
pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continu-
ally higher than normal (→P.83, 86)
If you notice any of these clues, take
your vehicle to any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble. Your vehicle may need adjustment
or repair.

the following precautions.
■When working on the engine
compartment
●Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and
engine drive belt.
●Be careful not to touch the engine,
radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.

1Pull the hood lock release lever.
The hood will pop up slightly.
2Push the auxiliary catch lever to
the left and lift the hood.
WARNING
●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.274)
■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.
