Before Driving
Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WARNING
■Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When inhaled, it can
cause loss of consciousness and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the
vehicle, keep all windows fully open and contact your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately.
■ Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, is danger-
ous. Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could easily
enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
■ Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a long time even in an open area,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
■ Clear snow from undern eath and around your vehi cle, particularly the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is dangerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monox-
ide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to occupants in the
cabin.

Shift the selector lever to the P position and set the parking brake.
Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition posi-
tion is off.
●The cooling fan in the engine compartment could turn on for a few minutes
after the ignition is switched from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C is on or
off, to cool the engine compartment quickly.
● When the push button start is pressed from ON to ACC or OFF, the KEY
indicator light (green) may flash for approximately 30 seconds indicating
that the remaining battery power of the key is low.
Replace with a new battery before the key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on P. 436.
● Automatic transaxle:
If the engine is turned off while the selector lever is in a position other than
P, the ignition switches to ACC.
Continuously pressing the push button start or quickly pressing it two
or more times while the engine is running or the vehicle is being
driven will turn the engine off immediately. The ignition switches to
ACC.
WARNING
■Do not stop the engine wh ile the vehicle is moving
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is moving for any reason other than in
an emergency is dangerous. Stopping the engine while the vehicle is mov-
ing will result in reduced braking ability due to the loss of power braking,
which could cause an accident and serious injury.
NOTICE
When leaving the vehicle, make sure the push button start is off.

4-1. Climate Control System
Operating Tips
• Operate the climate control system with the engine running.
• To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the fan
control dial on for a long period of time with the ignition switched
ON when the engine is not running.
• Clear all obstructions such as leaves, snow and ice from the hood and the air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the system efficiency.
• Use the climate control system to defog the windows and dehumid- ify the air.
• The recirculate mode should be used when driving through tunnels or while in a traffic jam, or when you would like to shut off outside
air for quick cooling of the interior.
• Use the outside air position for v entilation or windshield defrosting.
• If the vehicle has been parked in di rect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows to let warm air escape, then run the climate con-
trol system.
• Run the air conditioner about 10 mi nutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
• Have the air conditioner checked before the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant may make the air conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications
are indicated on a label
attached to the inside of the
engine compartment. Check
the label before refilling the
refrigerant. If the wrong type of
refrigerant is used, it could
result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
For details, consult your Toyota
dealer.

Maintenance and Care
Engine Coolant
Inspect the antifreeze protection and coolant level in the coolant res-
ervoir at least once a year—at t he beginning of the winter season—
and before traveling where temperatures may drop below freezing.
Inspect the condition and connecti ons of all cooling system and
heater hoses.
Replace any that are swollen or deteriorated.
The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F and L
marks on the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cool.

Coolant reservoir
If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to the coolant reservoir to pro-
vide freezing and corrosion protecti on and to bring the level to F.
Securely tighten the coolant reserv oir tank cap after adding coolant.
If the coolant reservoir is empty or new coolant is required frequently,
consult your Toyota dealer.
Changing the coolant should be done by your Toyota dealer.
