Automatic car washes
■
Fold the mirrors before washing the vehicle. Start washing from the front of the
●
vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.
Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and harm
●
your vehicle's paint.
High pressure car washes
■
Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of the win-
●
dows and the air suspension unit (if equipped).
Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed
●
properly.
Aluminum wheels
■
Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard
●
brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical cleaners.
Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.
Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after driving for
●
long distance in the hot weather.
Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
●
Bumpers and side moldings
■
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.
