4-1. Maintenance and care n 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. n 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 when keeping the carpet as dry as possible. n 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 n Water in the vehicle l Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle. Doing so may cause the electrical components etc. to malfunction or catch fire. l Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. (→P. 112) Electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly, resulting in death or severe injury. n 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. 4 Maintenance and care 501
