6-1. Maintenance and care
● If something bumps against the wind-
shield
● If you directly touch the raindrop sen-
sor body or if something bumps into
the raindrop sensor
■ Precautions regarding the exhaust
pipes
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipes
to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not
to touch the pipes until they have cooled
sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes
can cause burns.
■ Precaution regarding the front and
rear bumpers
If the paint of the front or rear bumper is
chipped or scratched, the following sys-
tems may not function correctly. If this
occurs, consult your Lexus dealer.
● Lexus Safety System +3
● FCTA (Front Crossing Traffic Alert) (if
equipped)
● BSM
● SEA
● Intuitive parking assist
● RCTA
● PKSB
■ To prevent paint deterioration and
corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (aluminum wheels, etc.)
● Wash the vehicle immediately in the
following cases:
• After driving near 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 contaminated
with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron
powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled
with dust 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 corroding,
remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity 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.
● Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the
lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■ When using an automatic car wash
Set the wiper switch to off position.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wip-
ers may operate and the wiper blades
may be damaged.
■ When using a high pressure car wash
● When washing the vehicle, do not
spray the camera or its surrounding
area directly with a high pressure
washer. Shock applied from high pres-
sure 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.
