NOTICE
When cleaning the air intake vents
■
When cleaning the air intake vent, make
sure to only use a vacuum to suck out
dust and clogs. If a compressed air blow
gun, etc. is used to blow out dust and
clogs, the dust or clogs may be pushed
into the air intake vent, which may affect
the performance of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) and cause a malfunc-
tion.

■
Observe the following precautions. Fail-
ure to do so may cause damage to the
vehicle.
Do not use water or other liquid to
●
clean the air intake vents
● Do not install anything but the filters
exclusive for this vehicle to the air
intake vents or use the vehicle without
installing the filters.
Cleaning the areas with satin-fin-
ish metal accents

ened soft cloth or synthetic chamois.
 Wipe the surface with a dry, soft

moisture.
Cleaning the areas with satin-finish
■
metal accents
The metal areas use a layer of real metal for
the surface. It is necessary to clean them
regularly. If dirty areas are left uncleaned for
long periods of time, they may be difficult to
clean.
Cleaning the leather areas
 Remove dirt and dust using a vac-
uum cleaner.
 Wipe off any excess dirt and dust
with a soft cloth dampened with
diluted detergent.
Use a diluted water solution of approxi-
mately 5% neutral wool detergent.
 Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off all
remaining traces of detergent.
 Wipe the surface with a dry, soft
cloth to remove any remaining
moisture. Allow the leather to dry in
a shaded and ventilated area.
■ 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.
Cleaning the synthetic leather
areas
 Remove dirt and dust using a vac-
uum cleaner.
 Wipe it off with a soft cloth damp-
ened with neutral detergent diluted
to approximately 1%.
 Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent and
water.
