Fuel pump shut off system
Follow the procedure below to restart the engine after the system is
activated.Vehicles with smart key systemTurn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF.
Restart the engine.
Vehicles without smart key system Turn the engine switch to “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
Restart the engine.
NOTICE
■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked on to the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an air-
bag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off system stops sup-
plying fuel to the engine.

386 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
*1: Open door warning buzzer:The open door warning buzzer sounds to alert the driver that one or more of
the doors is not fully closed (with the vehicle having reached a speed of 3
mph [5 km/h]).
*
2: Driver's and front passenger’s seat belt reminders:
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat belts reminder sound to alert the
driver and front passenger that his or her seat belt is not fastened. The
buzzer sounds intermittently for 10 seconds after the vehicle has reached a
speed of at least 12 mph (20 km/h). Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened,
the buzzer will sound at a different tone for 20 more seconds.
■ Key reminder buzzer (vehic les without smart key system)
The buzzer indicates that the key has not been removed with the engine off
and the driver’s door opened.
■ Open moon roof reminder buzzer (if equipped)
The buzzer indicates that the moon roof is not fully closed with the engine off
and the driver’s door opened.
■ Front passenger detect ion sensor and passenger seat belt reminder
● If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger
detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash, even if a passen-
ger is not sitting in the seat.
● If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passen-
ger, and the warning light may not operate properly.
■ Changing the engine oil (U.S.A. only)
Make sure to reset the oil change system. ( P. 323)
■
When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
Pressing the tire pressure warning reset switch does not turn off the tire
pressure warning light.
■The tire pressure warning light ma y turn on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper-
ature. In this case, adjusting the ti re inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).

388 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
●If tire chains are used
●If the spare tire is in a location subject to poor radio wave signal
reception
●If the tire inflation pressure is 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm2 or bar) or
higher.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking frequently
for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking frequently for 1
minute when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch or engine switch is
turned ON, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
■ Customization that can be co nfigured at Toyota dealer
The vehicle speed linked seat belt reminder buzzer can be disabled.
(Customizable features P. 454) However, Toyota recommends that the
seat belt reminder buzzer be operational to alert the driver and front passen-
ger that the seat belts are not fastened.
CAUTION
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could
cause loss of vehicle control and re sult in death or serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment, it is pr obable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires.
If the tire is flat, change to the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired
by the nearest Toyota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning syste m may not activate immediately.
