NOTICE
■To prevent the fuse from being blown
12 V DC: Do not use an accessory that uses more than 12 V 10 A.
120 V AC: Do not use a 120 V AC appliance that requires more than 100 W.
If a 120 V AC appliance that consumes more than 100 W is used, the protection circuit
will cut the power supply.
■Appliances that may not operate properly (120 V AC)
The following 120 V AC appliances may not operate even if their power consumption
is under 100 W.
●Appliances with high initial peak wattage
●Measuring devices that process precise data.
●Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply
■To prevent battery discharge
12 V DC: Do not use the power outlet longer than necessary when the engine is not
running.
120 V AC: Turn off all the vehicle’s electronic equipment and accessories, such as the
headlights and air conditioning
, when electrical appliances that consume in excess of
100 W are used continuously for long periods of time.
■To prevent any damage caused by heat (120 V AC)
●Do not use any electrical appliances that give off intense heat, such as toasters, in any
locations including the internal or external trim, seats and deck.
●Do not use any electrical appliances that are easily affected by vibration or heat inside
the vehicle. Vibration while driving, or the heat of the sun while parking, may result in
damage to those electrical appliances.
■If any electrical appliances are to be used while driving (120 V AC)
Securely fasten both the appliances and their cables to prevent them from falling or
getting caught in any of the power train components.
■If the power outlet is loose when an elec trical appliance plug is connected (120 V
AC)
Replace the outlet. Contact your Lexus dealer for any necessary replacements.
■If the power outlet gets dirty (120 V AC)
Turn the main switch off and use a soft, clean cloth to wipe it gently. Do not use any
cleansing materials, such as organic solvents, wax, or compound cleaners, as these
may damage the power outlet or cause it to malfunction.

GX460_OM_OM60M73U_(U)6-1. Maintenance and care
■Caring for leather areas
Lexus recommends cleaning the interior of th
e 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 use 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
■Wa t e r i n t h e v e h i c l e
●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. ( P. 3 6 )
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly,
resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off the wind-
shield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types of detergent, as they may discolor the vehicle interior
or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic substances su ch as benzene or gasoline, alkaline or
acidic solutions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or other interior part’s
painted surface may be damaged.
