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
r
ear window defogger heater wires. Use a cloth dampened with lukewarm water to
gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in strokes running parallel to the
heater wires.
■Caring for leather seats
Lexus recommends regularly cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a
y
ear 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 apply
w
ater. The best 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 for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
CAUTION
■Water in the vehicle
Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid on the floor.
Do not get any of the safety system and co ntr
ol units, such as SRS airbags, in the
vehicle interior wet. 
Electrical malfunction may cause the airbag s to deplo
y or not function properly,
resulting in death or serious injury.
