Maintenance and care
■Caring 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.
■ Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. U se 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 obt ained by keep-
ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■ Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge . Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cut s.
WARNING
■ Water in the vehicle
● Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle, such as on the floor, in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) air vent, and in the trunk.
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery, electrical components, e tc. to mal-
function or catch fire.
● Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
(P. 36)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or no t function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
● Vehicles with wireless charger:
Do not let the wireless charger ( P. 392) 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 m ay reflect
off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
● Le coussin gonflable passager avant SRS se déploie également avec une
force considérable, pouvant occasionner des blessures graves, v oire mor-
telles, si le passager avant se trouve très près du coussin gon flable. Le
siège du passager avant doit être éloigné le plus possible du c oussin gon-
flable en réglant le dossier de siège de façon à ce que le pass ager avant
soit assis bien droit dans le siège.
● Les nourrissons et les enfants qui ne sont pas correctement assis et/ou
attachés peuvent être grièvement blessés ou tués par le déploie ment d'un
coussin gonflable. Un nourrisson ou un enfant trop petit pour utiliser une
ceinture de sécurité doit être correctement attaché au moyen d'un siège
de sécurité enfant. Toyota recommande vivement d'installer tous les nour-
rissons et enfants sur les sièges arrière du véhicule et de prévoir pour eux
des systèmes de retenue adaptés. Les sièges arrière sont plus s ûrs pour
les nourrissons et les enfants que le siège du passager avant.
● N'installez jamais un siège de sécurité enfant type dos à la ro ute sur le
siège passager avant, même si le témoin indicateur “AIRBAG OFF” est
allumé. En cas d'accident, la force engendrée par le déploiement rapide
du coussin gonflable du passager avant peut blesser grièvement, voire
tuer l'enfant si le siège de sécurité enfant type dos à la route est installé
sur le siège du passager avant.
● Si vous attachez une rallonge de cein-
ture de sécurité aux boucles de ceinture
de sécurité avant, sans l'attacher au
pêne de la ceinture de sécurité, les
coussins gonflables frontaux SRS
déterminent que le conducteur et le
passager avant ont attaché leur cein-
ture de sécurité, bien que la ceinture de
sécurité ne soit pas attachée. Dans ce
cas, les coussins gonflables frontaux
SRS peuvent ne pas se déployer cor-
rectement en cas de collision, pouvant
occasionner des blessures graves,
voire mortelles. Veillez à porter la cein-
ture de sécurité avec la rallonge de
ceinture de sécurité.
