2906-1. Maintenance and care
■CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas-
tic) parts (if equipped)
CFRP is used for the scuff plates. When
cleaning the scuff plates, remove dirt using
a water-dampened soft cloth or synthetic
chamois, and then wipe the surface with a
dry soft cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●LC500: Do not splash or spill liquid in
the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical compo-
nents etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
LC500h: Do not splash or spill liquid
in the vehicle, such as on the floor, on
the rear seats, in the hybrid battery
(traction battery) air vents, and in the
trunk. ( P.68)
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery,
electrical components, etc. to mal-
function or catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS components
or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
( P.28)
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
windshield, 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 sub- stances such 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.
■Preventing damage to leather sur-
faces
Observe the following precautions to
avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from leather
surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, espe-
cially during summer.
●Do not place items made of vinyl, plas-
tic, or containing wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather
surface if the vehicle interior heats up
significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system
may be damaged if water comes into
contact with electrical components such
as the audio system above or under the
floor of the vehicle. Water may also
cause the body to rust.
