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

switch <power switch> to ACCESSORY

mode with the shift position held in N,

refer to P.219, 226.

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
