Caring for leather areas
■
Lexus 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 use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and let
them dry. 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.
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.

shield, obstructing the driver's view and leading to an accident, resulting in death or
