Cleaning The Interior - Toyota AURION Owner's Manual

Touch-up paint
Touch-up paint may be used to cover small
chips or scratches.
Apply the paint soon after the damage occurs
or corrosion may set in. To do a good job, use
a small artist's brush and stir the paint well.
Make sure the area is clean and dry. To apply
the touch-up paint so it is hardly noticeable,
the trick is to apply it only to the bare spots.
Apply only the smallest amount possible and
do not paint the surface around the scratch
or chip.
CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

Cleaning the interior

Be careful not to splash water or spill
D
liquid on the floor. This may prevent
the side airbags or side airbags and
curtain shield airbags from activating
correctly, resulting in death or serious
injury.
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
D
water, or allow water to get onto the
floor when cleaning the vehicle inte-
rior or exterior. Water may get into
audio components or other electrical
components above or under the floor
carpet (or mat) and cause a malfunc-
tion; and it may cause vehicle body
corrosion.
Vinyl interior
The vinyl upholstery may be easily
cleaned with a mild soap or detergent and
water.
First vacuum over the upholstery to remove
loose dirt. Then, using a sponge or soft cloth,
apply the soap solution to the vinyl. After al-
lowing it to soak in for a few minutes to loosen
the dirt, remove the dirt and wipe off the soap
with a clean damp cloth. If all the dirt does
not come off, repeat the procedure. Commer-
cial foaming-type vinyl cleaners are also
available which work well. Follow the manu-
facturer's instructions.
Do not use solvent, thinner, petrol or
window cleaner on the interior as this
may cause damage.
Carpets
Use a good foam-type shampoo to clean
the carpets.
Begin by vacuuming thoroughly to remove as
much dirt as possible.
