Brake

Painted brake calipers (if equipped)
●
• When using detergent, use neutral detergent. Do not use hard brushes or abrasive
cleaners, as they will damage the paint.
• Do not use detergent on the brake calipers when they are hot.
• Wash detergent off immediately after use.
RC F: 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 (if equipped)
■
The following precautions can extend the effectiveness of the water-repellent coating.
●
• Remove any dirt, etc. from the side windows regularly.

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 windows.
• 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.
