PROTECTING YOUR VEHICLE
FROM CORROSION
exposed to high temperature.
Proper care of your Lexus can help ensure long±term corrosion prevention.
The most common causes of corrosion to your vehicle are:
The accumulation of road salt, dirt and moisture in hard±to±reach areas under the vehicle.
Chipping of paint or undercoating caused by minor accidents or by stones and gravel.
The following conditions will cause or accelerate corrosion of your vehicle, so it is important to keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean as possible and to repair any damage to paint or protective coatings as soon as possible.
The presence of road salt or dust control chemicals, salt in the air near the sea coast, industrial air pollution.
High humidity, especially at temperatures just above freezing point.
Certain parts of your vehicle are wet or damp for an extended period of time, even though other parts of the vehicle are dry.
Components of the vehicle which are prevented from quick±drying due to lack of proper ventilation are
444
BODY
To help prevent corrosion on your Lexus, follow these guidelines:
Keep your vehicle clean by regular washing. In addition, observe the following points.
If you drive on salted roads in the winter or if you live near the ocean, you should hose off the undercarriage at least once a month to minimize corrosion.
High pressure water or steam is effective for cleaning the vehicle's underside and wheel housings. Pay particular attention to these areas as it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to simply wet the mud and debris without removing them. The lower edge of doors, rocker panels and frame members have drain holes which should not be allowed to clog with dirt as trapped water in these areas can cause corrosion.
Wash the underside of the vehicle thoroughly when winter is over.
See ºWashing and waxingº for more tips.
Check the condition of your vehicle's paint and trim.
If you find any chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches have gone through the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair.
Check the interior of your vehicle. Water and dirt can accumulate under the floor mats and could cause corrosion. Occasionally check under the mats to make sure the area is dry. Be particularly careful when transporting chemicals, cleansers, fertilizers, salt, etc. These should be transported in proper containers. If a spill or leak should occur, immediately clean and dry the area.
Keep your vehicle in a well ventilated garage or a roofed place. Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. If you wash your vehicle in the garage, or if you drive it in covered with water or snow, your garage may be so damp it will cause corrosion. Even if your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can corrode if the ventilation is poor.
445
BODY
WASHING AND WAXING
Washing your Lexus
Keep your vehicle clean by regular washing.
The following cases may cause weakness to the paint or corrosion to the body and parts. Wash your vehicle as soon as possible.
When driving in a coastal area
When driving on a road sprinkled with antifreeze
When having stuck of coal tar, tree sap, bird droppings and carcass of an insect
When driving in the areas where there is a lot of smoke, soot, dust, iron dust and chemical substance
When the vehicle becomes remarkably dirty with dust and mud
Hand±washing your Lexus
Work in the shade and wait until the vehicle body is not hot to the touch.
1. Rinse off loose dirt with a hose. Remove any mud or road salt from the underside of the vehicle or in the wheel wells.
2. Wash with a mild car±wash soap, mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use a soft cotton mitt and keep it wet by dipping it frequently into the wash water. Do not rub hard ± let the soap and water remove the dirt.
Aluminum wheels: Use only a mild soap or neutral detergent.
Urethane bumpers and side moldings: Wash carefully. Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners. The bumper and side molding faces are soft.
Road tar: Remove with turpentine or cleaners that are marked safe for painted surfaces.
NOTICE
Do not use gasoline or strong solvents, which may be toxic or cause damage.
3.Rinse thoroughly ± dried soap can cause streaking. In hot weather you may need to rinse each section right after you wash it.
4.To prevent water spots, dry the vehicle using a clean soft cotton towel. Do not rub or press hard ± you might scratch the paint.
446
BODY
Automatic car wash |
CLEANING THE INTERIOR |
Your vehicle may be washed in an automatic car wash, but remember that the paint can be scratched by some type of brushes, unfiltered washing water, or the washing process itself. Scratching reduces paint durability and gloss, especially on darker colors. The manager of the car wash should be able to advise you whether the process is safe for the paint on your vehicle.
Waxing your Lexus
Polishing and waxing is recommended to maintain the original beauty of your Lexus' finish.
Once a month or if the vehicle does not repel water well, apply wax.
1.Always wash and dry the vehicle before you begin waxing, even if you are using a combined cleaner and wax.
2.Use a good quality polish and wax. If the finish has become extremely weathered, use a car±cleaning polish, followed by a separate wax. Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions and precautions. Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim as well as the paint.
3.Wax the vehicle again when water does not bead but remains on the surface in large patches.
447
BODY
CAUTION
Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid on the floor. This may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, resulting in serious injury.
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water, or allow water to get onto the floor when cleaning the vehicle interior or exterior. Water may get into audio components or other electrical components above or under the floor carpet (or mat) and cause a malfunction; and it may cause body corrosion.

BODY
Leather Interior
NOTICE
The selected leather is used in your Lexus. Due to a leather product, some parts of leather may be rough, uneven or scratched originally.
To keep good appearance, we recommend you to clean it periodically twice a year.
Remove dirt on the leather in the following ways:
1.Wipe it off lightly using a soft cloth (e.g. gauze) dampened with 5% solution of neutral detergent for wool.
2.Wring water from a clean cloth and thoroughly wipe off all traces of detergent with it.
3.Wipe off the surface of the leather with a dry soft cloth. Allow the leather to dry in a ventilated shaded area. Excess of wet may cause the hardening or shrinking of the leather.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
CAUTION
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
The battery produces flammable and explosive hydrogen gas.
Do not cause a spark by contacting the battery terminals with tools.
Do not smoke or light a match near the battery.
The electrolyte contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothes.
Never inhale or swallow electrolyte.
Wear protective safety glasses when working near the battery.
Keep children away from the battery.
EMERGENCY MEASURES
If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth while traveling to the medical office.
416
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
If electrolyte gets on your skin, thoroughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or burn, get medical attention immediately.
If electrolyte gets on your clothes, there is a possibility of its soaking through to your skin, so immediately take off the exposed clothing and follow the procedure above, if necessary.
If you happen to swallow electrolyte, drink a large quantity of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten raw egg or vegetable oil. Then go immediately for emergency help.
Checking battery exterior
417
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
1 Terminals 2 Hold±down clamp
Check the battery for corroded or loose connections, cracks, or loose hold±down clamps.
1.If the battery is corroded, wash it off with a solution of warm water and baking soda. Coat the terminals with grease to prevent further corrosion.
2.If the connections are loose, tighten the clamp bolts
