Maintenance and care
zRemove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water.
z If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it
off with a soft cloth dampened
with neutral detergent diluted to
approximately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent
and water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-
type cleaners available. Use a sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in over-lapping circles. Do not use water. Wipe
dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the car-pet as dry as possible.
■Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also check the belts periodically for exces-
sive wear, fraying or cuts.
NOTICE
■When using a high pressure car wash
●Vehicles with rear view monitor sys-tem: When washing the vehicle, do not spray the camera or its sur-
rounding area directly with a high pressure washer. Shock applied from high pressure water may
cause the device to not operate normally.
●Vehicles with Toyota Safety Sense: Do not spray water directly on the radar which is equipped behind the
emblem. Otherwise it may cause the device to be damaged.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or resin manufac-tured cover), connectors or the fol-
lowing parts. The parts may be damaged if they come into contact with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
•Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi-cles body. Otherwise resin section,
such as moldings and bumpers, may be deformed and damaged. Also, do not continuously hold the
nozzle in the same place.
●Do not spray the lower part of the
windshield continuously. If water enters the air conditioning system intake located near the lower part of
the windshield, the air conditioning system may not operate correctly.
●Do not wash the underside of the vehicle using a high pressure car washer.
