Recharging function

When charging is complete and 
after a fixed time in the charge sus-
pension state, charging restarts.

When a portable device is moved 
significantly in the charge area, the 
charging coil is disconnected and 
charging is stopped momentarily. 
However, if there is a charging coil 

in the charge area, the charging coil 
inside the wireless charger will 
move toward it and then charging 
restarts.

Rapid charging function

The following portable devices sup-
port rapid charging.

• Portable devices compliant with WPC 

Ver1.2.4 and compatible with rapid 
charging

• iPhone’s with an iOS version that sup-

ports 7.5 W charging (iPhone 8 and 
later models)

When a portable device that sup-
ports rapid charging is charged, 
charging automatically switches to 
the rapid charging function.

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.

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 contains abrasives.

Automatic car washes

Before washing the vehicle:

• Fold the mirrors (if equipped) or Digital 

Side-view Monitor cameras (if equipped)

• Turn off the power trunk lid (if equipped)

Make sure to extend the mirrors (if 
equipped) or Digital Side-view Monitor 
cameras (if equipped) 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.

Notes for a smart entry & start system

If the door handle becomes wet while the 

electronic key is within the effective range, 

the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In 

that case, follow the following correction 

procedures to wash the vehicle:

Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.) or 

more separate from the vehicle while the 

vehicle is being washed. (Take care to 

ensure that the key is not stolen.)

Set the electronic key to battery-saving 

mode to disable the smart entry & start 

system. (

Remove dirt and dust using a vac-
uum cleaner. Wipe dirty surfaces 
with a cloth dampened with luke-
warm water.

If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it off 
with a soft cloth dampened with 
neutral detergent diluted to approx-
imately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from 
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off 
remaining traces of detergent and 
water.

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 sur-

faces and let them dry. Excellent results are 

obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as 

possible.

Handling the seat belts

Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water 

using a cloth or sponge. Also check the 

belts periodically for excessive wear, fray-

ing or cuts.

When cleaning the carpeted portions of 

the glove box, console box, etc.

If a strong adhesive tape is used, there is a 

possibility that the surface of the carpet 

could be damaged.

NOTICE

Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 30 

cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehicle 

body. Otherwise 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 conditioning system 

intake located near the lower part of 

the windshield, the air conditioning 

system may not operate correctly.

Do not wash the underside of the vehi-

cle using a high pressure car washer.

Cleaning and protecting the 
vehicle interior

Perform cleaning in a manner

WARNING

Water in the vehicle

Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehi-

cle, such as on the floor, on the rear 

seats, in the hybrid battery (traction 

battery) air vent or in the trunk. 

(

P.84) 

Doing so may cause the hybrid bat-

tery, electrical components, etc. to 

malfunction or catch fire.

Do not get any of the SRS components 

or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. 

(

P.40)

An electrical malfunction may cause 

the airbags to deploy or not function 

properly, resulting in death or serious 

injury.

Vehicles with wireless charger: Do not 

let the wireless charger (

P.340) get 

wet. Failure to do so may cause the 

charger to become hot and cause 

burns or could cause electric shock 

resulting in death or serious injury.

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.

NOTICE

Cleaning detergents

Do not use the following types of 

detergent, as they may discolor the 

vehicle interior or cause streaks or 

damage to painted surfaces:

• Non-seat portions: Organic sub-

stances such as benzene or gasoline, 

alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and 

bleach

• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, 

such as thinner, benzene, and alcohol

Do not use polish wax or polish 

cleaner. The instrument panel’s or 

other interior part’s painted surface

avoid damage to and deterioration of 

leather surfaces:

Remove any dust or dirt from leather 

surfaces immediately.

Do not expose the vehicle to direct 

sunlight for extended periods of time. 

Park the vehicle in the shade, espe-

cially during summer.

Do not place items made of vinyl, plas-

tic, or containing wax on the uphol-

stery, as they may stick to the leather 

surface if the vehicle interior heats up 

significantly.

Water on the floor

Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.

Vehicle systems such as the audio sys-

tem may be damaged if water comes into 

contact with electrical components such 

as the audio system above or under the 

floor of the vehicle. Water may also 

cause the body to rust.

When cleaning the inside of the wind-

shield (vehicles with Lexus Safety 

System +)
