■ Key number plate

Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the
event that a key (without a smart key system) or mechanical key (with a
smart key system) is lost, a new key can be made by your Toyota dealer
using the key number plate. (→P. 594)

■ When riding in an aircraft

When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons
are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

■ Note for the entry function

● Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection

areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases:

• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle,
near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or
unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instrument panel or floor, in the glove box,
or in the auxiliary box of the instrument panel.

● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may

be locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the
electronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.

● The doors may lock or unlock if the electronic key is within the effective

range and a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as
in the rain or in a car wash. The doors will automatically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if a door is not opened and closed.

● If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-

tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to
unlock the doors.)

■ Notes for locking the doors

● Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent

lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.

● When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition

signals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recogni­tion signals will be given.

● If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the

effective range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key
in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehi­cle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)

● If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet

during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the
alarm, lock all the doors.

42

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

● The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,

snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again, or
use the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.

● Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door

handle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the
door.

■ Notes for the unlocking function

● Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.

● A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the

doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the
original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door
handle again.

● If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly

longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

■ When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods

To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2
m) of the vehicle.

■ To operate the system properly

Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from
the outside of the vehicle.

Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention function may
not operate.)

■ If the smart key system does not operate properly

■ Electronic key battery depletion

● The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.

● As the electronic key always transmits radio waves, the battery will

become depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following
symptoms indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted.
Replace the battery when necessary. (→P. 528)

• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.

• The detection area becomes smaller.

• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.

● To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft.

(1 m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:

•TVs

• Personal computers

• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers

• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones

• Glass top ranges

• Table lamps

■ Precautions when disconnecting the battery

● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart

key system immediately after the battery has been disconnected. Use
the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the
doors.

● The engine may not start on the first attempt after reconnecting the bat-

tery but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunc­tion.

● The “ENGINE START STOP” switch mode is memorized by the vehicle.

When the battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it
was in before the battery was disconnected. Before disconnecting the
battery, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.

If you are unsure what mode the “ENGINE START STOP” switch was in
when the battery was disconnected, be especially careful when reconnect­ing the battery.

NOTICE

■ When folding the rear seatbacks down

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

● Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.

● Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift

lever to P.

● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-

ment while driving.

● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.

■ Seat adjustment

To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoul­der belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an acci­dent.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

■ After returning the rear seatback to the upright position

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.

● Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rear-

ward on the top.

● Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu­pant by retracting the seat belt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal
and side collision or a vehicle
rollover.

The pretensioner may not acti­vate in the event of a minor frontal
or side impact or a rear impact.

80

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (→P. 79)

Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu­pants. Extend the shoulder belt com­pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only the pregnant woman, but also the
fetus could suffer death or serious injury
as a result of sudden braking or a colli­sion.

CTH13AS042

■ Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.

■ Automatic locking retractor (ALR)

When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. (→P. 139)

■ Pregnant women

■ People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (→P. 79)

81

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toyota
dealer free of charge.

CTH13AS044

■ Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.

● Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (→P. 135)

● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s

seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 79 regarding seat belt usage.

■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli­sions.

■ Seat belt extender

82

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

CAUTION

■ Wearing a seat belt

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

● Always wear a seat belt properly.

● Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt

for more than one person at once, including children.

● Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always

use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

● To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than

necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.

● Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

● Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■ Seat belt pretensioners

● Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat.

Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the seat belt
pretensioner for the front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of
a collision.

● If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In

that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at
your Toyota dealer.

■ Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off
your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an
accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident. (→P. 80)

Before driving

83

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

CAUTION

■ Child restraint lock function belt precaution

Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If the
belt becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it will not be possible to pull the
belt out leading to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.

■ Seat belt damage and wear

● Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

● Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose

parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat
belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

● Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota
dealer.

● Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been

involved in a serious accident, even if there’s no obvious damage.

● Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the

seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer.
Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.

■ Using a seat belt extender

● Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without

the extender.

● Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system

because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas­ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

● The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when

used by another person, or at a different seating position other than the
one originally intended.

CAUTION

■ When refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.

● After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an

unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.

● Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.

A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.

● Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their

body to come close to an open fuel tank.

● Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

● Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

● Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically

charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.

■ When refueling

Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck. If fuel is added with
the nozzle slightly lifted away from the fuel filler neck, the automatic shut off
function may not operate, resulting in fuel overflowing from the tank.

■ When replacing the fuel cap

Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in
death or serious injury.
