Vehicles without smart entry & start system
12 V DC: The engine switch is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
220 V AC: The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system
12 V DC: The engine switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode.

rarily unusable, but this is not a malfunction.
NOTICE
● To avoid damaging the power outlets, close the power outlet lid when the
power outlet is not in use.
Foreign objects or liquids that enter the power outlet may cause a short
circuit.
● To prevent blown fuse:
12 V DC
Do not use an accessory that uses more than 12 V 10 A.
220 V AC
Do not use a 220 V AC appliance that requires more than 100 W.
If a 220 V AC appliance that consumes more than 100 W is used, the pro-
tection circuit will cut the power supply.
● To prevent battery discharge, do not use the power outlet longer than nec-
essary when the engine is not running.
● The following 220 V AC appliances may not operate properly even if their
power consumption is under 100 W:
• Appliances with high initial peak wattage
• Measuring devices that process precise data
• Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply

When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with
smart entry & start system), the red indicator light will illuminate for 10
seconds and then the green indicator light will illuminate, indicating
that the system is enabled. The indicator lights indicate the following:
● If the green indicator light illuminates and stays on, the system is
enabled.
● If the green indicator light flashes twice per second, an automatic or
manual Emergency Call is being made.
● If no indicator lights illuminate, the system is not enabled.
● If the red indicator light illuminates at any time other than immedi-
ately after the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles
without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi-
cles with smart entry & start system), the system may be malfunc-
tioning or the backup battery may be depleted.
● If the red indicator light blinks for approximately 30 seconds during
an Emergency Call, the call has been disconnected or the cellular
network signal is weak.
The service life of the backup battery does not exceed 3 years.
A test mode is provided for to check the performance of the Emer-
gency Call system. To test the device, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Maintenance and care
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
■ Aluminum wheels (if equipped)
● Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent.
● Wash detergent off with water immediately after use.
● To protect the paint from damage, make sure to observe the following pre-
cautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driv-
ing or parking in hot weather
■ Brake
Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with wet brake pads or disc rotors,
causing noises or vibrations. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed,
drive slowly and apply the brakes several times to dry the parts.
■ Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
WARNING
■ When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may
cause the electrical components etc. to catch fire.
■ Precautions regarding the exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has
cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.
