Operation of each component
Vehicles with a smart key system
The smart key system uses weak radio waves. In the following situations, the
communication  between  the  electronic  key  and  the  vehicle  may  be  affected,
preventing the smart key system and wireless remote control from operating
properly. (Way of coping  P. 588)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near  a  TV  tower,  electric  power  plant,  gas  station,  radio  station,  large  dis-
play,  airport  or  other  facility  that  generates  strong  radio  waves  or  electrical
noise
● When  carrying  a  portable  radio,  cellular  phone,  cordless  phone  or  other
wireless communication devices
● When  the  electronic  key  is  in  contact  with,  or  is  covered  by  the  following
objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
● When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity
● When another wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used nearby
● When  carrying  or  using  the  electronic  key  together  with  the  following
devices that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key
• A wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
● If  window  tint  with  a  metallic  content  or  metallic  objects  are  attached  to  the
rear window
● Vehicles  with  AUTO  ACCESS  SEAT:  If  the  wireless  remote  control  of  the
AUTO  ACCESS  SEAT  is  operated  simultaneously,  the  AUTO  ACCESS
SEAT may not operate properly.

4-1. Before driving
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving, as this may restrain the engine output.
● Do  not  use  the  accelerator  pedal  or  depress  the  accelerator  and  brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
■ When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do so
may  cause  the  vehicle  to  move  or  the  vehicle  may  accelerate  suddenly  if
the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.
■ Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for
an extended period of time. 
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
● When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
■ If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly  and  gradually  depress  the  brake  pedal to  slow  down  the  vehi-
cle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
● The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
● The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a flat tire. ( P. 570, 572)
■ When encounterin g flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
● Engine stalling
● Short in electrical components
● Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be
sure to have your Toyota dealer check the following:
● Brake function
● Changes  in  quantity  and  quality  of  oil  and  fluid  used  for  the  engine,  tran-
saxle, transfer (AWD models), rear differential (AWD models), etc.
● Lubricant  condition  for  the  bearings  and  suspension  joints  (where  possi-
ble) and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

Vehicle specifications
■Engine oil selection
“Toyota  Genuine  Motor  Oil”  is  used  in  your  Toyota  vehicle.  Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE  0W-20  is  the  best  choice
for  good  fuel  economy  and
good starting in cold weather.
If  SAE  0W-20  is  not  available,
SAE  5W-20  oil  may  be  used.
However,  it  must  be  replaced
with  SAE  0W-20  at  the  next  oil
change.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example): • The  0W  in  0W-20  indicates  the  characteristic  of  the  oil  which
allows cold startability. Oils wi th a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The  20  in  0W-20  indicates  the  viscosity  characteristic  of  the  oil when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one  with  a  higher  value)  may  be  better  suited  if  the  vehicle  is
operated at high speeds, or  under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
The  International  Lubricant
Specification  Advisory  Commit-
tee  (ILSAC)  Certification  Mark
is  added  to  some  oil  containers
to  help  you  select  the  oil  you
should use.
