Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime condition:
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.
■ Self-restoring coat The vehicle body has a self-restoring coating that is resistant to small surface scratches caused in a car wash etc.
The restoration time may become shorter when the coating is warmed by applying warm water.
■ Automatic car washes
Start washing from the front of the vehicle. Extend the mirrors before driving.
■ High pressure car washes
■ Note for a smart access system with push-button start
■ Aluminum wheels
■ Bumpers Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■ Front side windows water-repellent coating
Clean the windows with a soft, damp cloth as soon as possible.
WARNING
■ When washing the vehicle Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may cause the electrical components, etc. to catch fire.
■When cleaning the windshield Set the wiper switch to off.
If the switch is in "AUTO", the wipers may operate unexpectedly in the following situations, and may result in hands being caught or other serious injuries and cause damage to the wiper blades.
■ Precautions regarding the exhaust pipe Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
■ Precautions regarding the rear bumper with Blind Spot Monitor If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may malfunction. If this occurs, consult your Lexus dealer.

Cleaning and protecting the vehicle interior
The following procedures will help protect your vehicle's interior and keep it in top condition:
Protecting the vehicle interior
Wring out any excess water from the cloth and thoroughly wipe off remaining traces of detergent and water.
Cleaning the leather areas
Use a diluted water solution of approximately 5% neutral wool detergent.
Allow the leather to dry in a shaded and ventilated area.
Cleaning the synthetic leather areas
■ Caring for leather areas Lexus recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to maintain the quality of the vehicle's interior.
■ Shampooing the carpets There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possible.
■ Seat belts Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
WARNING
■ Water in the vehicle
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery, electrical components, etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
■ Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel) Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off the windshield, obstructing the driver's view and leading to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
