4-1. Maintenance and care n Caring for leather seats Lexus recommends regularly 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. The best results are obtained by 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 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 electrical compo- nents etc. to malfunction or catch fire. l Do not get any safety system and control units such as SRS airbags, in the vehicle interior wet. Electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly, resulting in death or serious injury. 208
