accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumsta nces. 
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious in jury.
■ Caution when driving
Do  not  turn  the  engine  switch  to  the  “LOCK”  position  while  driving.  If,  in  an
emergency, you must turn the engine off while the vehicle is mo ving, turn the
engine switch only to the “ACC” position to stop the engine. An  accident may

Maintenance and care
■
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.  U se  a
sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles.  Do not apply
water. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possi-
ble.
■ Seat belts
Clean  with  mild  soap  and  lukewarm  water  using  a  cloth  or  sponge.  Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cut s.
WARNING
■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 i nterior wet. 
(  P. 94)
Electrical  malfunction  may  cause  the  airbags  to  deploy  or  not  f unction
properly, resulting in death or severe injury.
■ Cleaning the interior (esp ecially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel m ay reflect off
the  windshield,  obstructing  the  driver's  view  and  leading  to  an  accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.

374 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been repla ced, a bulb
may need replacement. ( P. 375)
● If  the  replaced  fuse  blows  again,  have  the  vehicle  inspected  by   your
Toyota dealer.
■ If there is an overload in the circuits
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
WARNING
■To prevent system breakdow ns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions. 
Failing  to  do  so  may  cause  damage  to  the  vehicle,  and  possibly  a  fire  or
injury.
● Never  use  a  fuse  of  a  higher  amperage  rating  than  indicated,  or  use  any
other object in place of a fuse.
● Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent. 
● Do not modify the fuse or the fuse box.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses
Have  the  cause  of  electrical  overload  determined  and  repaired  b y  your
Toyota dealer.
