Caring for leather areas
■
Lexus recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to main-
tain 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 sur-
faces 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.
CAUTION
Water in the vehicle
■
Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
●
Doing so may cause electrical components etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
●
(P. 46)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function prop-
erly, resulting in death or serious injury.
Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
■
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off the
windshield, obstructing the driver' s view and leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Cleaning the leather areas of the instrument panel
■
Do not use any protective agents (coatings etc). Doing so may cause the instru-
ment panel to reflect onto the windshield, obstructing the front view and possibly
causing an accident.
