260
6-1. Maintenance and care
WARNING
● When the upper part of the windshield
where the raindrop sensor is located is
touched by hand
● When a wet rag or similar is held close
to the raindrop sensor
● 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 and rear bumper diffusers
As exhaust gases cause the exhaust
pipes and rear bumper diffusers to
become quite hot, do not touch the
exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers
while the engine is running or immedi-
ately after the engine is turned off.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not
to touch the exhaust pipes and rear
bumper diffusers until they have cooled
sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes
and rear bumper diffusers can cause
burns.
■ Precaution regarding the rear
bumper with Blind Spot Monitor (if
equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped
or scratched, the system may malfunc-
tion. If this occurs, consult your Lexus
dealer.

corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (aluminum wheels etc.)
