6-1.Maintenance and care

 Working from top to bottom, liber-

ally apply water to the vehicle body, 
wheel wells and underside of the 
vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.

 Wash the vehicle body using a 

sponge or soft cloth, such as a 
chamois.

 For hard-to-remove marks, use car 

wash soap and rinse thoroughly with 
water.

 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the water-

proof coating deteriorates.

If water does not bead on a clean surface, 
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.

CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas-

tic) part (if equipped)

As the CFRP parts may change color if 

they are exposed to ultraviolet rays for 

extended periods of time, Lexus recom-

mends that your vehicle be stored in a 

place where it will not be exposed to 

direct sunlight.

Do not use wax that contains abrasives.

Do not use automatic car washes as they 

may scratch the CFRP parts and damage 

the paint.

Self-restoring coat

*

The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-

ing that is resistant to small surface 

scratches caused in a car wash etc.

The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from 

when the vehicle is delivered from the 

plant.

The restoration time differs depending on 

the depth of the scratch and outside tem-

perature.

The restoration time may become 

shorter when the coating is warmed by 

applying warm water.

Deep scratches caused by keys, coins, 

etc. cannot be restored.

Do not use wax that contain abrasives.

*

: CFRP parts (if equipped) do not have a 

self-restoring coat.

Cleaning the areas with metal accents

Do not use baking soda (sodium bicarbon-

ate) and wax that contains abrasives.

Automatic car washes (vehicles without 

CFRP parts)

Fold the mirrors before washing the vehi-

cle. Start washing from the front of the 

vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors 

before driving.

Wash the vehicle with the active rear 

wing retracted. If the vehicle is washed 

with the active rear wing raised, depend-

ing on the type of automatic car wash, the 

brushes of the automatic car wash may 

become stuck on the active rear wing. In 

this case, the active rear wing may not be 

washed very well or may even be 

scratched or damaged.

Brushes used in automatic car washes 

may scratch the vehicle body and dam-

age the paint.

High pressure car washes

Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash 

to come within close proximity of the win-

dows.

Before using the car wash, check that the 

fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed 

properly.

Notes for the smart access system with 

push-button start

If the door handle becomes wet while the 

electronic key is within the effective range, 

Cleaning and protecting the 
vehicle exterior

sure to observe the following precau-

tions.

• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive 

detergent

• Do not use hard brushes

• Do not use detergent on the wheels when 

they are hot, such as after driving or park-

ing in hot weather

Brake caliper coating

When using detergent, use neutral deter-

gent. Do not use hard brushes or abra-

sive cleaners, as they will damage the 

coating.

Do not use detergent on the brake cali-

pers when they are hot.

Wash detergent off immediately after 

use.

Bumpers

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.

intake filters is necessary when

In some situations such as when the vehicle 

is used frequently or in heavy traffic or dusty 

areas, the air intake filters may need to be 

cleaned more regularly.

For details, refer to “Owner’s Manual Sup-

plement” or “Scheduled Maintenance”.

Air intake vents maintenance

If the vehicle is driven with the air intake 

vents clogged, charging / discharging of 

the hybrid battery (traction battery) may 

become limited and the fuel consumption 

may increase.

Depending on the conditions under 

which the vehicle is used, the air intake 

vents may need to be cleaned more reg-

ularly.

Cleaning the air intake vents

Dust in the air intake vents may interfere 

with the cooling of the hybrid battery 

(traction battery). If charging/discharging 

of the hybrid battery (traction battery) 

becomes limited, the distance that the 

vehicle can be driven using the electric 

motor (traction motor) may be reduced 

and the fuel economy may be reduced.

Inspect and clean the air intake vents 

periodically.

Improper handling may result in damage 

to the air intake vent covers or filters. If 

you have any concerns about cleaning 

the filters, contact your Lexus dealer.

The necessary cleaning interval of the air 

intake vents will differ according to the 

vehicle usage environment.

gun, etc. is used to blow out dust and 

clogs, the dust or clogs may be pushed 

into the air intake vents, which may affect 

the performance of the hybrid battery 

(traction battery) and cause a malfunc-

tion.

To prevent damage to the vehicle

Do not allow water or foreign matter to 

enter the air intake vents when the
