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, such as on the floor, in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents, or in the luggage compartment.
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery, electrical components etc. to mal-
function or catch fire.
●
Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
(→P. 115)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
