When recharging or replacing the ba ttery (vehicles with smart key sys-
tem)
● In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
key system when the battery is discharged. 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 the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
● The engine 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 discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
■ When the battery is removed or discharged
●The power back door (if equipped) must be initialized. ( →P. 123)
● The moon roof (if equipped) must be initialized. ( →P. 162)
● Toyota parking assist monitor (if equipped) must be initialized. (Refer to
“NAVIGATION AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”)
● Panoramic view monitor (if equipped) must be initialized. (Refer to “NAVI-
GATION AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”)
WARNING
■Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the battery:
● Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
● Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi-
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area,
such as brackets or unpainted metal.
● Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
● Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the battery.

WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
● Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from
the fans and belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.
● Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the engine and radiator are
hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■ To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
● Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
● Do not use any coolant additive.

9-1. Specifications
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing
the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi-
pate heat when tested under co ntrolled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can c ause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead
to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire
failure.

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
● N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’objets rigides sur les crochets porte-vête-
ments. Tous ces objets pourraient se transformer en projectiles et vous
occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, en cas de déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS en rideau.
● Si un recouvrement de vinyle est placé sur la zone de déploiement du
coussin gonflable SRS de protection des genoux, veillez à le retirer.
● N’tilisez pas d’ccessoires recouvrant les parties du siège où les coussins
gonflables SRS latéraux et le coussin gonflable SRS du coussin de siège
se déploient, car ces accessoires pourraient entraver le déploiement des
coussins SRS. De tels accessoires peuvent empêcher les coussins gon-
flables latéraux et le coussin gonflable du coussin de siège de se déployer
correctement, rendre le système inopérant ou provoquer accidentellement
le déploiement des coussins gonflables latéraux et du coussin gonflable
du coussin de siège, occasionnant des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
● Ne frappez pas et n’ppliquez pas une pression importante à l’mplacement
des composants des coussins gonflables SRS.
Vous risquez de provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins gon-
flables SRS.
● Ne touchez à aucun composant des coussins gonflables SRS immédiate-
ment après leur déploiement (gonflage), car ils pourraient être chauds.
● Si vous avez de la difficulté à respirer après le déploiement des coussins
gonflables SRS, ouvrez une portière ou une glace pour laisser entrer l’air,
ou quittez le véhicule si vous pouvez le faire en toute sécurité. Dès que
possible, nettoyez tous les résidus afin d’éviter les irritatio\
ns cutanées.
● Si les emplacements de stockage des coussins gonflables SRS, tels que
le tampon de volant et les garnitures des montants avant et arrière, sont
endommagés ou fissurés, faites-les remplacer par votre concessionnaire
Toyota.
● Ne placez aucun objet, par exemple un coussin, sur le siège du passager
avant. Cela disperserait le poids du passager, ce qui empêcherait le cap-
teur de le détecter correctement. Cela pourrait empêcher le déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS du passager avant en cas de collision.
