5-4. Appearance Care
■
Maintaining the Finish
●
Toyota is not responsible for scratches caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
●
Scratches are more noticeable on vehicles with darker paint finishes.
●
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 or the antenna. Otherwise, you
could dent the vehicle or damage the antenna.
●
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.
