Casual speech recognization
Due to natural language speech reco gnition technology, this system
enables recognition of a command when spoken naturally. However,
the system cannot recognize every variation of each command.
In some situations, it is possible to omit the command for the proce-
dure and directly state the desired operation.
Not all voice commands are displayed in the short cut menu.
This function is available in English, Spanish and French.
● Expression examples for each function
●Voice commands may not be recognized if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The air conditioning speed is set high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.
● In the following conditions, the system may not recognize the command
properly and using voice commands may not be possible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words, accents
or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
• There is excessive background noise, such as wind noise.

The protection circuit may be activated to cut the power supply if any
of the following conditions apply:
●The engine is started with the power outlet main switch on.
● Use of electrical appliances exceeding the maximum capacity is
attempted.
A sound may be heard when the protection circuit is activated.
This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
● Electrical appliances, which consume power exceeding 100 W, have
been used continuously for a long time period.
● The total power usage by all electrical features (headlights, air condition-
ing, etc.) has exceeded the total vehicle maximum for an extended
period of time.
■ If the protection circuit is activated and the power supply is cut, con-
duct the following procedure:
Park the vehicle in a safe place, and then securely apply the park-
ing brake.
Check and ensure the following conditions:• The shift lever is in P or N. (automatic transmission)
• The shift lever is in N and the clutch pedal is not depressed. (manual transmission)
Make sure that the power consumption of the electric appliance is
within the maximum capacity of the power outlet and the appliance
is not broken.
Press the power outlet main switch again.
When the cabin temperature is high, open the windows to cool the tempera-
ture down. Once it reaches the normal temperature, turn the power outlet
main switch on again.
If the power supply is not resumed even after performing the above proce-
dure, have the vehicle inspected by a Toyota dealer.

CAUTION
■Using a power outlet
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury.
●Use of the power outlet when it is wet with rain, drinks water or snow may
result in electrical shocks and is extremely dangerous. The power outlet
must be thoroughly dried before use.
● Do not allow children to use or play with the power outlet.
● Be careful not to get any part of your body caught in the power outlet lid.
● When using electrical appliances, strictly follow any cautions and notices
written on their labels and in the manufacturers’ instruction manuals.

way. Doing so may result in unexpected malfunctions or accidents, which
could cause serious damage or injuries. Contact a Toyota dealer for any
necessary repairs.
■ To prevent injuries and accidents, securely fix all electric appliances
before use and do not use any appl iances that may do any of the fol-
lowing:
● Distract the driver while driving, or hamper safe driving.
● Result in a fire or burn injuries due to the appliance rolling, falling or over-
heating while driving.
● Emit steam, while the windows of the cabin are closed.
■ To prevent unexpected accidents, su ch as electric shocks, do not per-
form any of the following
● Using the power outlet for electric heaters while sleeping.

Conditions unfavorable to correct operation
The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:
●The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.
● The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
● The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to
interference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking
lot, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near
an intersection, near a large vehicle, etc.).
● The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)
● The battery has been disconnected.
● A door is open.
CAUTION
■While driving the vehicle
Do not adjust the display. Adjust the display only when the vehicle is
stopped.
■ When doing the circling calibration
Secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the vicinity.
Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling calibration.
NOTICE
■To avoid the compass malfunctions
Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the inside rear view mirror.
Doing this may cause the compass sensor to malfunction.
■ When doing the circling calibration
●Do not perform a circling calibration of the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in terference by artificial magnetic fields.
● During calibration, do not operate electric systems (power windows, etc.)
as they may interfere with the calibration.

Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior
■Automatic car washes
●Fold the mirrors and remove the detachable pole antenna before wash-
ing the vehicle. Start washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to
re-install the detachable pole antenna and extend the mirrors before driv-
ing.
● Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface
and harm your vehicle’s paint.
● In certain automatic car washes, the roof antenna (if equipped) may
interfere with machine operation. This may prevent the vehicle from
being cleaned properly or result in damage to the roof antenna.
■ High pressure car washes
Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity \
of
the windows. Before entering an automatic car wash, check that the fuel filler
door on your vehicle is closed properly.
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime
condition.
● Working from top to bottom, liber ally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any
dirt and dust.
Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.

tions:
(When the condition be
comes normal, the system will work properly.)
●If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters are used.
●If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
●If the tire inflation pressure is 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm2 or bar) or
higher.
The tire pressure warning system may be disabled in the following condi-
tions:
(When the condition be comes normal, the system will work properly.)
