WARNING
■Speed limit when using the compact spare tire (vehicles with a
compact spare tire)
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 50 mph (80 km/h) when a compact
spare tire is installed on the vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not designed for driving at high spee ds. Fail-
ure to observe this precaution ma y lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.
■Replacing a flat tire for ve hicles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power
back door main switch ( P. 132). Failure to do so may cause the back
door to operate unintentionally if the power back door switch i s acciden-
tally touched, resulting in hands and fingers being caught and injured.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely i n place in
their storage locatio n to reduce the possibility of personal in jury during a
collision or su dden braking.

■Starting the engine when t he battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine i s stopped.
(Vehicles with Stop & Start system: except when the engine is s topped by
the Stop & Start system.)
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running
at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic .
■ When recharging or replacing the battery
●Vehicles with a smart key system: In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart key system when the battery is dis-
charged. Use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock or
unlock the doors.
● Vehicles with a smart key system: The engine may not start on t he first
attempt after the battery has recharged but will start normally after the sec-
ond attempt. This is not a malfunction.
● Vehicles with a smart key system: The engine switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the battery is reconnected, the system will r eturn 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.
● Vehicle with power back door: The power back door must be initi alized.
( P. 694)
● Vehicles with Stop & Start system: After the battery terminals have been dis-
connected then reconnected or the battery has been replaced, th e Stop &
Start system may not automatically stop the engine for approximately 5 to
60 minutes.
■ Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long t ime, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
■ When exchanging the battery (vehicles with Stop & Start system)
Use a genuine battery specifically designed for use with a Stop & Start sys-
tem or equivalent. If an unsupported battery is used, Stop & Start system
functions may be restricted to protect the battery. Also, battery performance
may decrease and the engine may not be able to restart. Contact your Toyota
dealer for details.

■Vehicle customization
●When the smart key system is off, the entry unlock function cannot be cus-
tomized.
● When the doors remain closed after unlocking the doors and the timer acti-
vated automatic door lock function activates, signals will be g enerated in
accordance with the operation buzzer volume and operational sig nal (Emer-
gency flashers) function settings.
■ Changing of the power back door opening angle (if equipped)
The opening angle setting can be changed through operation of e ither the
power back door switch or the audio system screen.
However, if the engine switch is on and the power back door swi tch is used to
change the opening angle setting, the changed opening angle wil l not be
reflected on the audio system screen until the engine switch is turned off and
then on again.
■ When customizing on the audio system screen
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, apply the parking brake, and shift the shift
lever to P. Also, to prevent battery discharge, leave the engin e running while
customizing the features.
WARNING
■ During customization
As the engine needs to be running during customization, ensure that the
vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such
as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may
collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a seri ous health
hazard.
NOTICE
■ During customization
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while cus-
tomizing features.
