4-1. Maintenance and care
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 apply water. 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, such as on the floor or in the trunk.
●
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. 93)
Electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly,
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.
