Caring For Leather Areas; Shampooing The Carpets - Toyota 2010 Corolla Owner's Manual

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.

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 by keeping the carpet as dry as possi-
ble.
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.
CAUTION
Water in the vehicle
■
Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle. Doing so may cause electrical
●
components etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
●
(→P. 84)
Electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or severe 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.
