Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water.
If dirt cannot be removed, 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.
■ Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-
type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in over-
lapping circles. Do not use water. Wipe
dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent
results are obtained by keeping the car-
pet as dry as possible.
■ Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm
water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for exces-
sive wear, fraying or cuts.
Cleaning and protecting
the vehicle interior
Perform cleaning in a manner
appropriate to each compo-
nent and its material.
Protecting the vehicle inte-
rior
■ Water in the vehicle
● Do not splash or spill liquid in the
vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical com-
ponents, etc., to malfunction or
catch fire.
● Do not get any of the SRS compo-
nents or wiring in the vehicle interior
wet.
(P.31)
An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or not
function properly, resulting in death
or serious injury.
■ Vehicles with wireless charger:
Do not let the wireless charger
(P.305) get wet. Failure to do so
may cause the charger to become hot
and cause burns or could cause elec-
tric shock 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, resulting in death or serious
injury.
■ 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 sub-
stances such as benzene or gaso-
line, alkaline or acidic solutions,
