GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REGULAR USE Maintaining Charge for 12-Volt Battery The following tips will help you keep your vehicle's 12-volt battery fully charged: • Drive vehicle at least weekly • Operate accessories with vehicle in "READY" mode • When parking, make sure doors and trunk are closed and lights are turned off When Cleaning the Interior • Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with warm water. • When cleaning carpet or cloth interior, remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Apply a foaming-type carpet cleaner with a sponge or brush, allowing cleaner to work for a few minutes to loosen dirt. Continue by rubbing carpet or cloth interior in a circular motion. Wipe off any excess cleaner with a clean cloth. If any dirt remains, repeat process. Best results are obtained by keeping carpet and cloth interior as dry as possible. • When cleaning leather interior, remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Using a sponge, apply a small amount of neutral wool detergent mixed in water, rubbing in a circular motion. Wipe off any excess detergent and let leather dry in an open-air location. Important Brake Information The LS 600h L features an advanced, electronically controlled braike-bywire system. This system controls both the regenerative braking system and the conventional hydraulic braking system. As a result, the brakes may feel different than those on a conventional vehicle. For additional information on your brakes and their operation, refer to your Owner's Manual. MAINTENANCE 46 Introduction
