Maintenance and care
n Cleaning the inside of the back window (vehicles with the back window
defogger)
Do not use glass cleaner to clean the back window, as this may cause dam-
age to the back window defogger heater wires. Use a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in
strokes running parallel to the heater wires.
n Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year
to maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
n 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 apply
water. Excellent results are obtained when keeping the carpet as dry as pos-
sible.
n Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
n Water in the vehicle
l Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the electrical components etc. to malfunction or catch
fire.
l Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
(→P. 116)
Electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or severe injury.
