Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty
surfaces with a cloth damp-
ened with lukewarm water.
If dirt cannot be removed,
wipe it off with a soft cloth
dampened with neutral deter-
gent diluted to approximately
1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces o f detergent and
water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foam-
ing-type cleaners available. Use 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
obtained by keeping the carpet 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
excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
■Meter visor
Do not place anything on top of
meter visor. The color of the meter
visor may transfer.
Cleaning and protect-
ing the vehicle interior
Perform cleaning in a man-
ner appropriate to each
component and its material.
Protecting the vehicle
interior
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 com-
ponents or wiring in the vehicle
interior wet. ( P. 2 7 )
An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or not
function properly, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (espe-
cially instrument panel)
Do not use 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.
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:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or
gasoline, alkaline or acidic solu-
tions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solu- tions, such as th inner, benzene,
and alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel’s
or other interior part’s painted
surface may be damaged.

2926-1. Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner.
Wipe off any excess dirt and
dust with a soft cloth damp-
ened with diluted detergent.
Use a diluted water solution of
approximately 5% neutral wool
detergent.
Wring out any excess water
from the cloth and thoroughly
wipe off all remaining traces
NOTICE
●Do not use a chemical agent
containing silicone
(highly-polymerized silicon com-
pound) when cleaning any of
the electrical appliances such
as the air conditioning, all
switches and their surrounding
areas.
If silicon (highly-polymerized sil-
icon compound) contacts these
components, it may cause the
electrical appliances to malfunc-
tion.
■Preventing damage to leather
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 vehicle 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
floor of the vehicle. Water may
also cause the body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of
the windshield
Do not allow glass cleaner to con-
tact the lens. Also, do not touch
the lens. (
P.174)
■Cleaning the inside of the rear
window
●Do not use glass cleaner to
clean the rear window, as this
may cause damage to the rear
window defogger heater wires.
Use a cloth dampened with
lukewarm water to gently wipe
the window clean. Wipe the win-
dow in strokes running parallel
to the heater wires.
●Be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires.
■When cleaning the instrument
panel
When small grains of sand and so
forth have gotten into instrument
panel’s surface and cannot be
wiped away using a cloth, use a
clay bar without adding water.
Forcibly trying to wipe the surface
clean with a brush or sponge may
scratch the surface or fragments
of the cloth may be left in the sur-
face.

of detergent.
Wipe the surface with a dry,
soft cloth to remove any

Allow the leather to dry in a
shaded and ventilated area.
■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.
Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner.
Wipe it off with a soft cloth
dampened with neutral deter-
gent diluted to approximately
1%.
Wring out any excess water

*: If equipped
*: Ultrasuede® is a registered trade-
mark of Toray Industries, Inc.
Periodic cleaning once a
month is recommended.
1 Wipe the entire Ultrasuede
®
area with a soft cloth that has
been dampened with luke-
warm water (approximately
104°F [40°C]) and squeezed
out.
Do not wipe too hard. Doing so may
make the Ultrasuede® upholstery
surface become uneven. Also, only
use a clean cloth.
2 Once dry, brush the area with
a soft brush.
■Removing stuck-on dirt
If fluff is attached to your clothes,
etc. remove it by brushing it off with

tape.
If liquid is spilled, lightly pat
the area with a tissue paper or
similar to soak up the liquid.
When mud, coffee, etc., has
dried on the Ultrasuede
®
upholstery, remove it by lightly
brushing the area with a soft
brush or similar.
We recommend using a vacuum
cleaner to clean up the area after
the above has been performed.
When a stain cannot be
removed using the above proce-
dures, remove it by performing
the following:
1 Lightly wipe the stained area
from the outside to the inside
from multiple angles with a
soft cloth that has been
dampened with lukewarm
water (approximately 104°F
[40°C]) and squeezed out.
Do not wipe too hard. Doing so may
make the Ultrasuede® upholstery
surface become uneven. Also, only
use a clean cloth.
2 If the Ultrasuede® upholstery
surface becomes uneven,
lightly brush it with a soft
brush.
3 Allow the surface to dry com-
pletely. You will need the following
items:
A cloth that has been damp-
ened with benzene
A dry cloth
1 Using a dry cloth or tissue
paper, wipe away as much of
the oil as possible to prevent
the stained area from
expanding.
2 After patting the area from
the outside to the inside from
multiple angles using the
cloth dampened with ben-
zene, soak up the oil and
benzene that floats up by pat-
ting the area with a dry cloth.
3 If the Ultrasuede
® upholstery
surface becomes uneven,
lightly brush it with a soft
brush.
Liquid stains
NOTICE
■When soaking up spilled liq-
uids
Do not press down too firmly with
the cloth, tissue paper etc., as
doing so may cause the liquid to
further penetrate the material,
making soaking up the liquid more
difficult.

■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine
Toyota parts be used for repairs to
ensure performanc e of each sys-
tem. If non-Toyota parts are used in
replacement or if a repair shop other
than a Toyota dealer performs
repairs, confirm the warranty cover-
age.
■Allow inspection and repairs to
be performed by a Toyota
dealer
●Toyota technicians are
well-trained specialists and are
kept up to date with the latest ser-
vice information. They are well
informed about the operation of all
systems on your vehicle.
●Keep a copy of the repair order. It
proves that the maintenance that
has been performed is under war-
ranty coverage. If any problem
should arise while your vehicle is
under warranty, your Toyota
dealer will promptly take care of it.
General maintenance should be
performed on a daily basis. This
can be done by yourself or by a
Toyota dealer.
Scheduled maintenance should
be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
For details about maintenance
items and schedules, refer to the
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
