Maintenance and Care
Clean the webbing with a mild soap solution recommended for uphol-
stery or carpets. Follow instructions. Do not bleach or dye the web-
bing; this may weaken it.
After cleaning the belts, thoroughly dry the belt webbing and make
sure there is no remaining moisture before retracting them.
If the windows become covered with an oily, greasy, or waxy film,
clean them with glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the container.
Rubber floor mats should be cleaned with mild soap and water only.
After removing the floor mats for cleaning, always reinstall them
securely. ( →P. 129)
Cleaning the Lap/Shoulder Belt Webbing
WARNING
■Have your Toyota dealer replace damaged seat belts immediately
Using damaged seat belts is dangerous. In a collision, damaged belts can-
not provide adequate protection.
Cleaning the Window Interiors
NOTICE
● Do not scrape or scratch the inside of the window glass. It could damage
the thermal filaments.
● When washing the inside of the window glass, use a soft cloth dampened
in lukewarm water, gently wiping the thermal filaments.
Use of glass cleaning products could damage the thermal filaments.
Cleaning the Floor Mats
WARNING
■Do not use rubber cleaners, such as tire cleaner or tire shine, when
cleaning rubber floor mats
Cleaning the rubber floor mats with rubber cleaning products makes the
floor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when depressing the accelerator, brake, or
clutch (Manual transaxle) pedal or when getting in or out of the vehicle.

NOTICE
●When using the temporary spare tire, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the conventional tire. Drive carefully.
●To avoid damage to the temporary s pare tire or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
• Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do not drive through an auto- matic car wash. This tire’s diameter is smaller than a conventional
tire, so the ground clearance is reduced.
• Do not use a tire chain on this tire because it will not fit properly.
• Do not use your temporary spare tire on any other vehicle, it has been designed only for your Toyota.
• Use only one temporary spare tire on your vehicle at the same time.
