4-1. Maintenance and care

Cleaning the inside of the rear window or left-side rear quarter window

Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window or left-side rear quarter
window, as this may cause damage to the rear window defogger heater
wires or print type antenna (if equipped). Use a cloth dampened with luke-
warm water to gently wipe the windows clean. Wipe the windows in strokes
running parallel to the heater wires or print type antenna (if equipped).

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. Use a
sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not apply
water. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possi-
ble.

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.

CAUTION

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 components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
