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.

■Precautions regarding the
exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.

exhaust pipe can cause burns.

bumper with Blind Spot Monitor (if equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is
chipped or scratched, the system may malfunction. If this occurs, consult with any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer.

stances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gas- oline are spilled on the paint sur-face

●To prevent the wheels from corrod-ing, remove any dirt and store in a
place with low humidity when stor- ing the wheels.
