422 4-1. Maintenance and care
■Cleaning the inside of the rear window and the rear quarter windows
Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window and the rear quarter win-
dows, as this may cause damage to the rear window defogger heater wires
or print type antenna (if equipped). Use a cloth dampened with lukewarm
water to gently wipe the windows clean. Wipe the windows in strokes run-
ning parallel to the heater wires or print type antenna (if equipped).
■ 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.
■ 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 excellent results are obtained when 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
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components etc. to malfunction or catch
fire.
● Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
