CAUTION

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 (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
Set the wipers to the intermittent wind-
shield wipers. (P. 216)
If AUTO mode is selected, the wipers may
operate unexpectedly in the following situ-
ations, and may result in hands being
caught or other serious injuries and cause
damage to the wiper blades.

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 windshield

If you directly touch the raindrop sensor body or if something bumps into the
raindrop sensor

Precautions regarding the exhaust pipes
Exhaust gases 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 rear bumper with Blind Spot Monitor (if equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may mal-
function. If this occurs, consult any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
