Caring For Leather Areas; Shampooing The Carpets - Toyota Mirai 2017 Owner's Manual

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 use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keep-
ing 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.
When cleaning the carpeted portions of the glove box, console box, etc.
■
If a strong adhesive tape is used, there is a possibility that the surface of the
carpet could be damaged.
WARNING
Water in the vehicle
■
Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle, such as on the floor, in the trac-
●
tion battery air intake vent, and in the trunk.
Doing so may cause the traction battery, electrical components, etc., to
malfunction or catch fire.
Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
●
(→P. 38)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not let the wireless charger (→P. 284) get wet. Failure to do so may
●
cause the charger to become hot and cause burns or could cause electric
shock resulting in death or serious injury.
Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
■
Do not use a 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.
