4-1. Maintenance and care

■

Cleaning the inside of the rear window

Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause damage to the

rear window defogger heater wires or antenna. Use a cloth dampened with luke-

warm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in strokes running

parallel to the heater wires or antenna.

■

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. The excel-

lent 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

●

Be careful not to splash or spill liquid on the floor.

●

Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
