Important information about this manual
Safety and vehicle damage warnings
Throughout this manual, you will see safety and vehicle damage warnings. You must follow these warnings carefully to
avoid possible injury or damage.
The types of warnings, what they look like, and how they are
used in this manual are explained as follows:
CAUTION
This is a warning against anything which may cause
injury to people if the warning is ignored. You are
informed about what you must or must not do in
order to reduce the risk of injury to yourself and
others.
NOTICE
This is a warning against anything which may cause
damage to the vehicle or its equipment if the warning
is ignored. You are informed about what you must or
must not do in order to avoid or reduce the risk of
damage to your vehicle and its equipment.
Safety symbol

Important information about your Toyota
Occupant restraint systems
Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to
read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms
of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum
benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual is the most important Section for you and your family to read.
Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concerning
seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint systems of
this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware
of. These systems work together along with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint in
the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced
when it is used properly and together with other systems. No
single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or
your family with the equal level of restraint which these systems can provide when used together. That is why it is important for you and your family to understand the purpose
and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate to each other.
The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of
a collision. None of these systems, either individually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the event of
collision. However, the more you know about these systems
and how to use them properly, the greater your chances become of surviving an accident without death or serious injury.
Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of
the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear
seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be
secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for
their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with, and
be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes for
them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing the risk
of head, chest and knee injuries by preventing contact of the
head, chest and knee with interior portions of the vehicle.
iii
In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with
tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS airbags
makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of
death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an
airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has
been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the time
of deployment. This is just one example of how the instructions in Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual will help ensure
proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase
the safety they can provide to you and your family in the
event of an accident.
Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section
1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time
of ownership of this vehicle.
Event data recorder
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain
aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving
and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Besides storing
data useful for troubleshooting, there is a system to record
data in a crash or a near car crash event. This is called an
Event Data Recorder (EDR).
The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a
crash or a near car crash event, this device may record
some or all of the following information:
Engine speed
Whether the brake pedal was applied or not
Vehicle speed
To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
Position of the transmission selector lever
Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat
belts or not
Driver’s seat position
Front passenger’s occupant classification
SRS airbag deployment data
iv
SRS airbag system diagnostic data
If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability control
(VSC) system, its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may contain
another EDR. There are a variety of driving situations which
include activating the VSC under which the VSC EDR will
record certain information. The VSC EDR may record some
or all of the following information:
Behavior of the vehicle
Steering wheel angle
Vehicle speed
To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
To what extent the brake pedal was applied
To what extent the ECU controlled the condition of the
4 wheels
Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data
The information above is intended to be used for the purpose
of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data
recorders, the EDR does not record sound data such as
conversation between passengers.
Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a
third party except when:
An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leasing
company for a leased vehicle) is obtained
Officially requested by the police or other authorities
Used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit
Ordered by the court
However, if necessary Toyota will:
Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety
performance
Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes
without disclosing details of the vehicle owner, and only
when it is deemed necessary
Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifica-
tion information to a non−Toyota organization for research purposes
v
New vehicle warranty
Your new vehicle is covered by the following Toyota limited
warranties:
New vehicle warranty
Emission control systems warranty
Others
For further information, please refer to the “Owner’s Warranty
Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
Your responsibility for
maintenance
It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure that the specified maintenance is performed. Section 6 gives details of
these maintenance requirements. Also included in Section
6 is general maintenance. For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.

with the airbags and 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 the qualified service shop or by your Toyota
dealer before you dispose of your vehicle.
Tires and loading on your
Toyota
Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and excess load may result in the deterioration of steering
ability and braking ability, leading to an accident.
Check the tire inflation pressure periodically and be
sure to stay with the load limits given in this Owner’s
Manual. For details about tire inflation pressure and
load limits, see pages 289 and 361.
Leak detection pump
This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This
check is done approximately five hours after the engine is
turned off. So you may hear sound coming from underneath
the luggage compartment for several minutes. It does not
indicate a malfunction.

Keys (with key cylinder−type
ignition switch)
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the head of
the master and sub keys. These chips are
needed to enable the system to function
correctly, so be careful not to lose these
keys. If you make your own duplicate key,
you will not be able to cancel the system
or start the engine.
To protect items locked in the trunk or
glove box when using valet parking, leave
the sub key with the attendant.
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds
of keys.
1. Master keys (black)—These keys work
in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will
need one of them to make a new key
with a built−in transponder chip.
2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work
in the locks of the glove box and the
door located behind the rear seat armrest.
12
NOTICE
When using a key containing a transponder chip, observe the following
precautions:
z When starting the engine, do not
use the key with a key ring resting
on the key grip and do not press
the key ring against the key grip.
Otherwise the engine may not start,
or may stop soon after it starts.
z When starting the engine, do not
use the key with other transponder
keys around (including keys of other vehicles) and do not press other
key plates against the key grip.
Otherwise the engine may not start,
or may stop soon after it starts. If
this happens, remove the key once
and then insert it again after removing other transponder keys (including keys of other vehicles) from the
ring or while gripping or covering
them with your hand to start the
engine.
z Do not bend the key grip.
z Do not cover the key grip with any
material that cuts off electromagnetic waves.
z Do not knock the key hard against
other objects.
z Do not leave the key exposed to
high temperatures for a long period,
such as on the dashboard and hood
under direct sunlight.
z Do not put the key in water or
wash it in an ultrasonic washer.
z Do not use the key with electromag-
netic materials.
13
KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the plate.
Keep the plate in a safe place such as
your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you
need additional keys, duplicates can be
made by a Toyota dealer using the key
number.
We recommend writing down the key number and storing it in a safe place.
Keys (with smart key system)
The key consists of an electronic key
and a mechanical key. The mechanical
key is for emergency use. If the electronic key does not operate, you can
open the driver’s door using the mechanical key.
1. Electronic keys—These keys can lock
or unlock all the doors and can open
the trunk by using the wireless remote
control function or entry function of the
smart key system.
2. Mechanical keys—These keys can lock
or unlock the driver’s door, the glove
box and the door located behind the
rear seat armrest.
Spare keys should not be left in the
cabin. In the event that a spare key is
left in the cabin, the smart key system
will remain actuated even after the
doors have been locked. Under these
circumstances, the trunk can be opened
even after the driver has exited and
locked the vehicle, increasing the danger of theft. (Refer to “OPENING
TRUNK WITH SMART KEY SYSTEM” on
page 45 in this Section.)
To protect items locked in the trunk or the
glove box when using valet parking, lock
the trunk opener switch and leave the
electronic key with the attendant. Keep the
mechanical key with you. For details about
locking the trunk opener switch, see
“—Luggage security system” on page 46
in this Section.
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer
system has been placed in the electronic
keys. These chips are needed to enable
the system to function correctly, so be
careful not to lose these keys.
14
CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators should keep
away from the smart key system
antennas, because the radio waves
may affect the operation of such
devices. For the antenna locations
see “ANTENNA LOCATION” on page
29 in this Section.
Users of any electrical medical de-
vice other than implanted pacemakers and implanted cardiac defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the device for information
about its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves
could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical devices.
If necessary, the entry function can
be disabled. See “DISABLING THE
SMART KEY SYSTEM” on page 33
in this Section.

15
Engine immobilizer system
The engine immobilizer system is a
theft prevention system using an electronic code. The transponder chip in
the key has an electronic code and
transmits the code to the vehicle. Only
when the electronic code in the chip
corresponds to the register ID code for
the vehicle, the engine immobilizer system will be canceled and the engine
will start.
KEY NUMBER PLATE
Your key number is shown on the plate.
Keep the plate in a safe place such as
your wallet, not in the vehicle.
If you should lose your keys or if you
need additional keys, duplicates can be
made by Toyota dealer using the key
