Maintenance and Care
■Vinyl
Remove dust and loose dirt from vinyl with a whisk broom or vac-
uum cleaner. Clean vinyl with a leather-and-vinyl cleaner.
■Leather (if equipped)
Remove dust and sand first using a vacuum cleaner or other
means, then wipe dirt off using a soft cloth with a leather cleaner or
a soft cloth soaked in mild soap. Wipe off the remaining cleaner or
soap using a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well.
Remove moisture with a dry, soft cloth and allow the leather to fur-
ther dry in a well-ventilated, sh aded area. If the leather gets wet
such as from rain, also remove moisture and dry it as soon as pos-
sible.
■Fabric
Remove dust and loose dirt from fabric with a whisk broom or vac-
uum cleaner. Clean it with a mild soap solution good for upholstery
and carpets. Remove fresh spots immediately with a fabric spot
cleaner.
To keep the fabric looking clean and fresh, take care of it. Other-
wise its color will be af fected, it can be stained easily, and its fire-
resistance may be reduced.
■Panel
When the interior panels need to be cleaned, use soft material such
as a soft cloth soaked in clean water and wrung out well and lightly
wipe off dirt from the surface. If a panel requires further cleaning,
use the following procedure.
Wipe dirt off using a soft cloth soaked in mild detergent (about
5% solution).
Wipe off any remaining detergent using a cloth soaked in clean
water and wrung out well.

■Leather
●Because genuine leather is a natural material, its surface is not uniform and
it may have natural scars, scratches, and wrinkles.
● To maintain the quality for as long as possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
NOTICE
■Leather
● Sand and dust on the seat surface may damage the overcoat of the genu-
ine leather surfaces and accelerate wear.
● Greasy soiling on genuine leather may cause molding and stains.
● Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth may cause damage.
● Do not wipe the leather using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause discolor-
ation or stains.
● If the seats get wet, promptly remove moisture with a dry cloth. Remaining
moisture on the surface may cause deterioration such as hardening and
shrinkage.
● Exposure to direct sunlight for long periods may cause deterioration and
shrinkage. When parking the car under direct sunlight for long periods,
shade the interior using sunshades.
● Do not leave vinyl products on the seats for long periods as they may
affect the leather quality and coloring. If the cabin temperature becomes
hot, the vinyl may deteriorate and adhere to the genuine leather.
■ Fabric
Use only recommended cleaners and procedures. Others may affect
appearance and fire-resistance.
■ Panel
● Do not wipe leather parts using alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic sol-
vents such as thinner, benzene, or gasoline. Otherwise, it may cause dis-
coloration or stains.
● Scratches or nicks on the panels and metallic trim resulting from the use of
a hard brush or cloth may not be repairable.
● Be particularly careful when cleaning high lustre panels and metallic trim
as they can be easily scratched.

stery or carpets. Follow instructions. Do not bleach or dye the web-

WARNING
■Have your Toyota dealer replace damaged seat belts immediately
Using damaged seat belts is dangerous. In a collision, damaged belts can-
not provide adequate protection.
Cleaning the Window Interiors
NOTICE
● Do not scrape or scratch the inside of the window glass. It could damage
the thermal filaments.
● When washing the inside of the window glass, use a soft cloth dampened
in lukewarm water, gently wiping the thermal filaments.
Use of glass cleaning products could damage the thermal filaments.
Cleaning the Floor Mats
WARNING
■Do not use rubber cleaners, such as tire cleaner or tire shine, when
cleaning rubber floor mats
Cleaning the rubber floor mats with rubber cleaning products makes the
floor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when depressing the accelerator, brake, or
clutch (Manual transaxle) pedal or when getting in or out of the vehicle\
.

the following precautions:
• Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do not drive through an auto- matic car wash. This tire’s diameter is smaller than a conventional
tire, so the ground clearance is reduced.
