4-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning the inside of the rear window
n
Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause dam-
age to the rear window defogger heater wires. Use a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in
strokes running parallel to the heater wires.
Caring for leather areas
n
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year
to maintain the quality of the vehicle's interior.
n 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. The excellent results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as
possible.
n 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
n
Be careful not to splash or spill liquid on the floor.
l
l Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
