7-1. Maintenance and care
Maintenance and care
 Remove dirt and dust using a  
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a cloth dampened with 
lukewarm water. 
 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 foam- 
ing-type cleaners available. Use a 
sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub  in overlapping circles. Do not use water.  
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. 
Excellent results are obtained by keep- ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■Handling the seat belts 
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm  
water using a cloth or sponge. Also  check the belts peri odically for exces- 
sive wear, fraying or cuts.
Cleaning and protecting  
the vehicle interior
Perform cleaning in a manner  
appropriate to each compo-
nent and its material.

■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the  
vehicle. Doing so may cause electrical com- 
ponents, etc. to malfunction or 
catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS compo-
nents or wiring in the vehicle interior 
wet. ( P. 3 5 ) 
An electrical malfunction may 
cause the airbags to deploy or not  function properly, resulting in death  
or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:
Do not let the wireless charger 
( P.402) get wet. Failure to do so  may cause the charger to become  
hot and cause burns or could cause 
electric shock 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 gaso-
line, alkaline or acidic solutions,  dye, and bleach 
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions,  such as thinner, benzene, and alco- 
hol

■After a fuse is replaced
●When installing the lid, make sure that  
the tab is installed securely.
●If the lights do not turn on even after 
the fuse has been replaced, a bulb 
may need replacement. ( P.455)
●If the replaced fuse blows again, have  
the vehicle inspected by any author- ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author- 
ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If there is an overload in a circuit 
The fuses are designed to blow, protect- ing the wiring harness from damage.
■When replacing light bulbs 
Toyota recommends that you use genu- 
ine Toyota products designed for this  vehicle. 
Because certain bulbs are connected to 
circuits designed to prevent overload,  non-genuine parts or parts not designed  
for this vehicle may be unusable.
WA R N I N G
■To prevent system breakdowns 
and vehicle fire 
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure 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 that indi- 
cated, or use any other object in 
place of a fuse.
●Always use a genuine Toyota fuse 
or equivalent. Never replace a fuse with a wire,  
even as a temporary fix.
●Do not modify the fuses or fuse 
boxes.
