An electrical malfunction may 
cause the airbags to deploy or not 
function properly, resulting in

■Cleaning the interior (espe-
cially instrument panel)

cleaner. The instrument panel 
may reflect off the windshield, 
obstructing the dr iver’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 dis-
color the vehicle interior or 
cause streaks or damage to 
painted surfaces:

stances such as benzene or 
gasoline, alkaline  or acidic solu-
tions, dye, and bleach

surfaces
Observe the following precautions 
to avoid damage to and deteriora-
tion of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from 
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to 
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods of time. Park the vehicle in 
the shade, especially during 
summer.
●Do not place items made of 
vinyl, plastic, or containing wax 
on the upholstery, as they may 
stick to the leather surface if the 
vehicle interior heats up signifi-
cantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the v ehicle 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

tact the lens. Also, do not touch 
the lens. ( P.225)

vent overload, non-genuine parts or 
parts not designed for this vehicle 
may be unusable.

downs and vehicle fire
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to the vehicle, and possibly a 
fire or injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher

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.
