4-1. Maintenance and care
Caring for leather areas
■
Lexus recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to main-
tain 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 possible.
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, such as on the floor and in the hybrid

battery (traction battery) air vents or in the luggage compartment.
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery, electrical components, etc. to malfunc-
tion or catch fire.
Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
