2-2. Door and Locks
■Opening the Trunk Lid from the Inside
Slide the inside trunk release
lever in the direction of the
arrow. The lever is made of
material that will glow for hours
in the darkness of the trunk fol-
lowing a brief exposure to ambi-
ent light.
The inside trunk release lever is
located on the inside of the trunk
lid.
WARNING
■Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat backs are latched and do not allow
children to play inside the vehicle
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat exposure.
■ Always keep the car from being a tempting place to play by latching
the rear seats, doors and the trun k, and keeping the keys where chil-
dren can not play with them
Leaving children or animals unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous.
Babies left sleeping and children who lock themselves in cars or trunks can
die very quickly from heat prostration. Do not leave your children or pets
alone in a car at any time. Do not leave the car, the rear folding seats or the
trunk unlocked.

1092-3. Fuel and Emission
2
Before Driving
Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WARNING
■Do not drive your vehicle if you sm ell 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.

NOTICE
If the check fuel cap warning light illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may not be
properly installed. If the warning light illuminates, park your vehicle safely off
the right-of-way, remove the fuel-filler cap and reinstall it correctly. After the
cap has been correctly installed, the fuel cap warning light may continue to
illuminate until a number of driving cycles have been completed. A drive
cycle consists of starting the engine (after four or more hours with the
engine off) and driving the vehicle on city and highway roads.
Continuing to drive with the check fuel cap warning light illuminated could
cause the check engine light to illuminate as well.

2-6. Windows
Power Windows
The windows can be opened/closed by operating the power window
switches.
When driving with only one of the rear windows open, your ears might experi-
ence a resonating sound. However, this does not indicate a problem. The
sound can be reduced by slightly opening a front window or by changing the
size of the rear window opening.
WARNING
■ Make sure the opening is clear before closing a window
Closing a power window is dangerous . A person’s hands, head, or even
neck could be caught by the window and result in serious injury or even
death. This warning applies especially to children.
■ Never allow children to play with power window switches
Power window switches that are not locked with the power window lock
switch would allow children to operate power windows unintentionally,
which could result in serious injury if a child’s hands, head or neck becomes
caught by the window.
■ Make sure nothing blocks the window just before it reaches the fully
closed position or while holding up the power window switch
Blocking the power window just before it reaches the fully closed position or
while holding up the power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot prevent the window from closing
all the way. If fingers are caught, serious injuries could occur.

Before Driving
The window opens while the switch is pressed and it closes while the
switch is pulled up with the ignition switched ON. Do not open or close
three or more windows at the same time.
The front passenger’s side and rear windows can be opened/closed
when the power window lock switch on the driver’s door is in the
unlock position. Keep this switch in the locked position while children
are in the vehicle.
■ Opening/Closing windows
●A power window may no longer open/close if you continue to press the
switch after fully opening/closing the power window. If the power window
does not open/close, wait a moment and then operate the switch again.
● The passenger windows may be opened or closed using the master control
switches on the driver’s door.
● The power window can be operated for about 40 seconds after the ignition
is switched from ON to ACC or off with all doors closed. If any door is
opened, the power window will stop operating.
For engine-off operation of the power window, the switch must be held up
firmly throughout window closure because the auto-closing function will be
inoperable.
