Cleaning the synthetic leather areas
⚫Remove dust using a vacuum cleaner
⚫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
⬛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.
⬛Carpet cleaning
Toyota recommends that you keep the carpet dry at all times. To clean the car-
pet, a commercially available fo am-type cleaner can be used.
Use a sponge or brush to spread the foam over the carpet and work it in a cir-
cular motion. Do not apply water directly. Wipe off and dry.
⬛Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge.
Also check the seat belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
WARNING
⬛Water in the vehicle
⚫Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components, etc., to malfunction or catch fire.
⚫Do not get any of the SRS airbag compon ents or wiring in the vehicle interior
wet. ( ➞P. 3 7 )
An electrical malfunction may cause the SRS airbags to deploy or not func-
tion properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
⬛Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use a polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off
the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
⬛Caution: Area around the seats
Be very careful when putting your hand under a seat, such as when cleaning
the interior of the vehicle or picking up anything that has fallen under the seat.
Your hand may strike the seat rail or the base of the seat and be injured.

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 solvents such as benzene or gasoline, alkaline
or acid solutions, dye, and bleach
⦁ Seats: Alkaline or acid solutions, su ch as thinner, benzene, and alcohol
⚫Do not use a polish wax or polish cleaner.
The paint on the instrument panel or other interior part may be peeled off,
dissolved, or deformed.
⚫Do not use glass cleaner or alcohol on the lens cover of the meter.
It may cause discoloration or cracking.
⚫Do not use silicone spray around the swit ches. The silicone will adhere to the
internal electrical components and may cause a failure.
⬛Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces:
⚫Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately
⚫Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially 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.
If water comes into contact with audio system or electrical components under
the floor carpet of the vehicle, it ma y cause the malfunction of the vehicle, or
rusting of the vehicle body.
⬛Cleaning the inside of the rear window (vehicles with the rear window defogger)
⚫Do not use window washing detergent, etc., for such solutions can damage
the hot wires. Instead, gently wipe the window along its hot wires with cloth
dampened with water or warm water.
⚫Be careful not to scratch or damage the hot wires.
⬛When using liquid fragrance
Secure the container so that it does not sp ill. Also, do not place it on the instru-
ment panel or near the meter.
If liquid spills and adheres to the plastic parts, cloth materials, or the lens cover

6-2. Maintenance
Maintenance requirements
To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance are essential. Toyota recommends the following main-
tenance:
General maintenance
General maintenance should be performed on a daily basis. This can be
done by yourself or by a Toyota dealer. Scheduled maintenance
⚫Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance schedule.
The interval for scheduled maintenance is determined by the odometer reading or
the time interval, whichever comes first, shown in the schedule.
Maintenance beyond the last period should be performed at the same intervals.
⚫Where to go for maintenance service?
It makes good sense to take your vehicle to your local Toyota dealer for maintenance
service as well as other inspections and repairs.
Toyota technicians are well-trained specialist s receiving the latest service information
through technical bulletins, service tips and in-dealership training programs. They
learn to work on Toyota before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are
working on it. Doesn’t that seem like the best way?
Your Toyota dealer has invested a lot of money in special Toyota tools and service
equipment. It helps them to do the job better and at less cost.
Your Toyota dealer’s service department will perform all of the scheduled mainte-
nance on your vehicle re liably and economically.
Rubber hoses (for cooling and heater system, brake system and fuel system) should
be inspected by a qualified technician according to the Toyota maintenance sched-
ule.
Rubber hoses are particularly important maintenance items. Have any deteriorated
or damaged hoses replaced immediately. Note that rubber hoses will deteriorate
with age, resulting in swe lling, chafing or cracking.

Do-it-yourself maintenance
⚫What about do-it-yourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechanical
ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to perform them
are presented in this section.
Note, however, that some maintenance task s require special tools and skills. These
are best performed by qualified technician s. Even if you are an experienced do-it-
yourself mechanic, we recommend that repairs and maintenance be conducted by
your Toyota dealer who will keep a record of maintenance on your vehicle. This
record could be helpful should you ever require Warranty Service.
⬛Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in performance and sounds, and visual tip-offs that
indicate service is needed. Some important clues are:
⚫Engine misses, stumbling or pinging
⚫Appreciable loss of power
⚫Strange engine noises
⚫A fluid leak under the vehicle (However , water dripping from the air condi-
tioning system after use is normal.)
⚫Change in exhaust sound (This may indica te a dangerous carbon monoxide leak.
Drive with the windows open and have th e exhaust system checked immediately.)
⚫Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
⚫Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
⚫Strange noises related to suspension movement
⚫Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal (vehi-
cles with a manual transmission), pe dal almost touches the floor, vehicle
pulls to one side when braking
⚫Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal
If you notice any of these clues, take yo ur vehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.
WARNING
⬛If your vehicle is not properly maintained
Improper maintenance could result in serious damage to the vehicle and pos-
sible death or serious injury.
⬛Handling of the battery
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds which are known to cause brain damage. Wash your hands after han-
dling. ( ➞P. 321)

Scheduled maintenance
Perform maintenance by the schedule as follows:Maintenance schedule requirements
Your vehicle needs to be serviced in according to the normal maintenance
schedule. (See “Maintenance schedule”.)
If you mainly operate your vehicle under one or more of the special oper-
ating conditions below, some of th e maintenance schedule items need to
be serviced more frequently in order to keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. (See “Additional maintenance schedule”.)
⬛Road Condition
⚫Operating on rough or muddy roads, or roads with melted snow
⚫Operating on dusty roads (Roads in areas where their pavement rate is
low, or a cloud of dust often arises and the air is dry.)
⬛Driving Condition
⚫Heavily loaded vehicle (Example: Using a car top carrier, etc.)
⚫Repeated short trips less than 8 km (5 miles) and outside temperatures
remain below freezing (Engine temp erature will not reach to normal
temperature)
⚫Extensive idling and/or low speed dr iving for a long distance such as
police, taxi or door-to-door delivery use
⚫Continuous high speed driving (80% or more of maximum vehicle
