6-1. Maintenance and care
■
Brake caliper coating
When using detergent, use neutral deter-
●
gent. Do not use hard brushes or abra-
sive cleaners, as they will damage the
paint.
●
Do not use detergent on the brake cali-
pers when they are hot.
Wash detergent off immediately after
●
use.
■
Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with
wet brake pads or disc rotors, causing them
to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is
washed, drive slowly and apply the brakes
several times to dry the parts.
■
Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
Side windows water-repellent coating
■
●
The following precautions can extend the
effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-
ing.
• Remove any dirt, etc. from the side win-
dows 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.
■
Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the parts as
follows:
●
Use a soft cloth dampened with an
approximately 5% solution of neutral
detergent and water to clean the dirt off.
●
Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth to
remove any remaining moisture.
To remove oily deposits, use alcohol wet
●
wipes or a similar product.
