CAUTION
Make sure the cap is tightened se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
case of an accident.
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank
cap for replacement. It has a built −
in check valve to reduce fuel tank
vacuum.
Electric moon roof
Tilting operation
Sliding operation
To operate the moon roof, use the
switch beside the interior light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
Key off operation: If both side doors are
closed, it works for 43 seconds even after
the ignition switch is turned off. It stops
working when either side door is opened.
Tilting operation—
To tilt up: Push the switch briefly on the
“OPEN” side. The roof will tilt up com-
pletely.
To stop the roof partway, push the switch
either the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” side briefly.
The sun shade will open lightly with the
moon roof. To open the sun shade com-
pletely, pull it back by hand.
To lower: Push the switch briefly on the
“CLOSE” side. The roof will lower com-
pletely.
Sliding operation—
To open (with the roof tilting up): Push the
switch on the “OPEN” side briefly. The
roof will open completely.
To open (with the roof tilting down): Push
the switch on the “OPEN” side for more
than 2 seconds. The roof will open com-
pletely after tilting up.

To stop the roof partway, push the switch
either the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” side briefly.
The sun shade will be opened together
with the roof.
To close: Push the switch briefly on the
“CLOSE” side. The roof will close com-
pletely.
Sun shade operation—
The sun shade can be closed by hand.
Jam protection function: During closing
operation, the moon roof stops and opens
half way if something gets caught between
the moon roof and frame.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught.
When the battery is disconnected, the
moon roof can not operate automatically
and the jam protection function will not
function correctly. Therefore, you need to
normalize the moon roof as follows.
To normalize: Close the moon roof, and
continue to hold the switch up briefly after
the moon roof reaches the completely
closed position and the motor is blocked.
If the moon roof cannot be operated prop-
erly, have it checked by your Toyota deal-
er. There are cases where malfunctions may
activate the jam protection function, which
will prevent the roof from closing com-
pletely. In this case, pushing and holding
the switch on the “CLOSE” side will close
the roof completely.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the head, hands and other
parts of the body of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, you could be seriously injured
if the vehicle stops suddenly or if
the vehicle is involved in an acci-
dent.
Always make sure nobody places
his/her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening be-
fore you close the roof. If some-
one’s neck, head or hands gets
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the roof, first make
sure it is safe to do so.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the moon roof switches and get
trapped in the roof opening. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.
Never try jamming any part of your
body to make the jam protection
function work intentionally.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the moon roof is fully
closed.

Do not use organic substances
(gasoline, kerosene, benzine or
strong solvents), which may toxic
or cause damage.
Do not use window scraper or deic-
er when the plastic resin moon roof
is heavily coated with frost or ice.

Do not use your parking brake when
there is a possibility it could freeze.
When parking, put the transmission into
“P” (automatic) or into first or reverse
(manual) and block the rear wheels. Do
not use the parking brake, or snow or
water accumulated in and around the
parking brake mechanism may freeze,
making it hard to release.
Keep ice and snow from accumulating
under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders
can make steering difficult. During bad
winter driving, stop and check under the
fenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are driving,
we recommend you carry some emer-
gency equipment.
Some of the things you might put in the
vehicle are tire chains, window scraper,
bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel,
jumper cables, etc.
NOTICE
Do not use window scraper or deicer
when the plastic resin moon roof is
heavily coated with frost or ice. The
plastic resin moon roof is easily dam-
aged.
Trailer towing
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a
passenger−carrying vehicle. Towing a
trailer will have an adverse effect on
handling, performance, braking, durability
and driving economy (fuel consumption,
etc.). Your safety and satisfaction depend
on the proper use of correct equipment
and cautious driving habits. For your
safety and the safety of others, you must
not overload your vehicle or trailer. Toyota
warranties do not apply to damage or
malfunction caused by towing a trailer for
commercial purposes. Ask your local
Toyota dealer for further details before
towing.
WEIGHT LIMITS
Before towing, make sure the total trailer
weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle
weight and trailer tongue load are all with-
in the limits.
The total trailer weight and tongue load
can be measured with platform scales
found at a highway weighing station, build-
ing supply company, trucking company,
junk yard, etc.CAUTION
The total trailer weight (trailer
weight plus its cargo load) must
not exceed 907 kg (2000 lb.). Ex-
ceeding this weight is dangerous.
