Maintenance and care
HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
QCaring 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.
Q Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-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.
Q Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
WARNING
Q Water in the vehicle
O Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components etc. to malfunction or catch
fire.
O Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
( P. 46)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
Q 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
QCleaning detergents
O Do not use the following types of detergent, as they may discolor the vehi-
cle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic substances such as benzene or gasoline,
alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alco-
hol
O Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or other
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
Q Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces:
O Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
O Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
O Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.
Q 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.
Q When cleaning the inside of the windshield (vehicles with Toyota
Safety Sense)
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens. Also, do not touch the lens.
( P. 2 6 7 )
Q Cleaning the inside of the rear window (vehicles with rear window
defogger)
O Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause
damage to the rear window defogger heater wires. Use a cloth dampened
with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in
strokes running parallel to the heater wires.
