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.
Q
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas-
tic) part (if equipped)
O
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.
O
Do not use wax that contains abrasives.
O
Do not use automatic car washes as they
may scratch the CFRP parts and damage
the paint.
Q
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.
O
The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from
when the vehicle is delivered from the
plant.
O
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.
O
Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,
etc. cannot be restored.
O
Do not use wax that contains abrasives.
*
: CFRP parts (if equipped) do not have a
self-restoring coat.
Q
Cleaning the areas with metal accents
Do not use baking soda (sodium bicarbon-
ate) and wax that contains abrasives.
Q
Automatic car washes (vehicles without
CFRP parts)
O
Fold the mirrors before washing the vehi-
cle. Start washing from the front of the
vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors
before driving.
O
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.
O
Brushes used in automatic car washes
may scratch the vehicle surface, parts
(wheel, etc.) and harm your vehicle’s
paint.
O
When it is necessary to set the engine

Q
Where to go for maintenance service?
In order to maintain your vehicle in the best
possible condition, Lexus recommends that
maintenance service operations as well as
other inspections and repairs be carried out
by authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repair-
ers. For repairs and services covered by
your warranty, please visit an authorized
Lexus retailer or repairer, who will use gen-
uine Lexus parts in repairing any difficulties
you may encounter. There can also be
advantages in utilizing authorized Lexus
retailers or repairers for non-warranty
repairs and services, as members of the
Lexus network will be able to expertly assist
you with any difficulties you may encounter.
Your Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer will per-
form all of the scheduled maintenance on
your vehicle reliably and economically due
to their experience with Lexus vehicles.
Scheduled maintenance should be
performed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance sched-
ule.
For details about maintenance items and
schedules, refer to the “Lexus Service
Booklet” or “Lexus Warranty Booklet”.
What about do-it-yourself mainte-
nance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to
do yourself if you have a little mechanical
ability and a few basic automotive tools.
Note, however, that some maintenance
tasks require special tools and skills. These
are best performed by qualified techni-
cians. Even if you’re an experienced do-it-
yourself mechanic, we recommend that
repairs and maintenance be conducted by
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Any authorized Lexus retailer or
repairer will keep a record of maintenance,
which could be useful should you ever
require Warranty Service. Should you
choose to select a qualified and equipped
professional other than an authorized
Lexus repairer to service or maintain your
vehicle, we recommend that you request
that a record of maintenance be kept.
Q
Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in performance
and sounds, and visual tip-offs that indicate
service is needed. Some important clues
