1946-1. Maintenance and care
Scion iM_U (12J49U)
nCaring for leather areas
Scion recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
n 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 use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keep-
ing the carpet as dry as possible.
n 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.
WARNING
nWater in the vehicle
lDo not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components etc. to malfunction or catch
fire.
l Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
( P. 34)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
n Cleaning the interior (especially 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.
