5-4. Appearance Care
Washing
■
Toyota is not responsible for scratches caused by automatic car washes or
●
improper washing.
Scratches are more noticeable on vehicles with darker paint finishes.
●
Waxing
■
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and similar materials will usually also take
off the wax. Rewax these areas even if the rest of the vehicle does not need
it.
WARNING
Dry off brakes that have become wet by driving slowly, releasing the
■
accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous. Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when braking could result in a serious accident.
Light braking will indicate whether the brakes have been affected.
NOTICE
Do not spray water in the engine compartment. Otherwise, it could result in
●
engine-starting problems or damage to electrical parts.
When washing and waxing the vehicle, be careful not to apply excessive
●
force to any single area of the vehicle roof. Otherwise, you could dent the
vehicle.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents containing
●
highly alkaline or caustic agents on chrome-plated or anodized aluminum
parts. This may damage the protective coating; also, cleaners and deter-
gents may discolor or deteriorate the paint.
