For your information

Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual applies to all models and all equipment, includ­ing options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle.

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of equipment.

Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine

Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound
coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehi­cles are currently available on the market. You should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance,
repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products. Mod­ification with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi­tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may
not be covered under warranty.

24

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle may
affect electronic systems such as the multi-port fuel injection system/sequen­tial multi-port fuel injection system, cruise control system, anti-lock brake
system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to
check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or special instruc­tions regarding installation.

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo­nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con­trol batteries.

25

CAUTION

■ General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ­ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi­cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis­tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.

■ General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat
build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.

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

■ 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.
