Before programming HomeLink

●

During programming, it is possible that garage doors, gates, or other
devices may operate. For this reason, make sure that people and objects
are clear of the garage door or other devices to prevent injury or other
potential harm.

●

It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote control
transmitter for more accurate programming.

●

Garage door opener motors manufactured after 1995 may be equipped
with rolling code protection. If this is the case, you may need a stepladder
or other sturdy, safe device to reach the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the
garage door opener motor.

The garage door opener can be programmed to operate garage doors, gates,
entry doors, door locks, home lighting systems, security systems, and other
devices.

Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior

●

Working from top to bottom, liberally 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 waterproof coating deteriorates.

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

■

Automatic car washes

●

Fold the mirrors back before washing the vehicle. Start washing from the front of the

vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.

●

Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface, parts (wheel,

etc.) and harm your vehicle’s paint.

●

Rear spoiler may not be washable in some automatic car washes. There may also be an

increased risk of damage to vehicle.

■

High pressure car washes

As water may enter the cabin, do not bring the nozzle tip near the gaps around the doors

or perimeter of the windows, or spray these areas continuously.

■

Wheels and wheel ornaments

●

Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard brushes or

abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical cleaners. Use the same mild

detergent and wax as used on the paint.

●

Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after driving for

long distance in the hot weather.

●

Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.

■

Bumpers

Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

Notes for a smart access system with push-button start

●

If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range,

the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more

separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that

the key is not stolen.)

●

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet during a car

wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer will

sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.

■

Plated portions

If dirt cannot be removed, clean the parts as follows:

●

Use a soft cloth dampened with an approximately 5% solution of neutral detergent and

water to clean the dirt off.

●

Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth to remove any remaining moisture.

●

To remove oily deposits, use alcohol wet wipes or a similar product.

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

●

When the upper part of the windshield where the raindrop sensor is located is

touched by hand

●

When a wet rag or similar is held close to the raindrop sensor

●

If something bumps against the windshield

●

If you directly touch the raindrop sensor body or if something bumps into the raindrop

sensor

■

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 suffi-

ciently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.

■

Precautions regarding the Blind Spot Monitor (if equipped)

If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may malfunction.

If this occurs, consult your Lexus dealer.

Set the wiper switch to off.

If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may

operate unexpectedly in the following situa-

tions, and may result in hands being caught or

other serious injuries and cause damage to the

wiper blades.

NOTICE

■

To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and components (aluminum

wheels etc.)

●

Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast

• After driving on salted roads

• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface

• If you see dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings on the paint

• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron pow-

der or chemical substances

• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled in dust or mud

• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint surface

●

If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.

●

To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place with low

humidity when storing wheels.

■

Cleaning the exterior lights

●

Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a hard brush.

This may damage the surfaces of the lights.

●

Do not apply wax on the surfaces of the lights.

Wax may cause damage to the lenses.

■

When using an automatic car wash

Set the wiper switch to the off position.

If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may operate and the wiper blades may be

damaged.

■

When using a high pressure car wash

●

Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or resin manufactured cover), con-

nectors or the following parts. The parts may be damaged if they come into contact

with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts

• Steering parts

• Suspension parts

• Brake parts

●

Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 11.9 in. (30 cm) away from the vehicle body. Other-

wise resin section, such as moldings and bumpers, may be deformed and damaged.

Also, do not continuously hold the nozzle in the same place.

●

Do not spray the lower part of the windshield continuously. If water enters the air con-

ditioning system intake located near the lower part of the windshield, the air condi-

tioning system may not operate correctly.

●

Do not wash the underside of the vehicle using a high pressure car washer.
