Maintenance and care
■ Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■ Front side windows water-repellent
coating
● The following precautions can extend the
effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-
ing.
• Remove any dirt, etc. from the front side
windows regularly.
• Do not allow dirt and dust to accumulate
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 win-
dows.
• Do not use any metallic objects to
remove condensation build up.
● When the water-repellent performance
has become insufficient, the coating can
be repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer.
■ 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.
■ 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 (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wip-
ers)
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in AUTO, the wipers
may operate unexpectedly in the follow-
ing situations, and may result in hands
being caught or other serious injuries
and cause damage to the wiper blades.
