WARNING
■Using the tire jack 
Improper use of the tire jack may cause the vehicle to suddenly fall off the 
jack, leading to death or serious injury. 
● Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or install- 
ing and removing tire chains. 
● Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire.  
Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other tire jacks for replac- 
ing tires on this vehicle. 
● Make sure the tire jack can be moved properly. 
● Always check that the tire jack is securely set to the correct jack up point. 
● Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while it is supported by 
the jack. 
● Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack. 
● Do not raise the vehicle while someone is inside. 
● When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack. 
● Do not raise the vehicle to a height greater than that required to replace 
the tire. 
● Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle. 
Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one work- 
ing on or near the vehicle may be injured. 
■ Using the jack handle 
Insert the square head securely until you hear a click to prevent the exten- 
sion parts from coming apart unexpectedly.
● Do not continue jacking up once the yel- 
low caution line has appeared.Ye l l o w

■Stopping the engine 
Shift the shift lever to P (automatic transmission) or N (manual transmission) 
and press the engine switch as you normally do when stopping the engine. 
■ Replacing the key battery 
As the above procedure is a temporary measure, it is recommended that the 
electronic key battery be replaced immediately when the battery is depleted.
( P. 567) 
■ Alarm (vehicles with alarm for Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, 
Turkmenistan and Morocco) 
Using the mechanical key to lock the doors will not set the alarm system. 
If a door is unlocked using the mechanical key when the alarm system is set,
the alarm may be triggered. 
■ Changing engine switch modes 
Release the brake pedal (automatic transmission) or clutch pedal (manual 
transmission) and press the engine switch in step   above. 
The engine does not start and modes will be changed each time the switch is 
pressed. ( P. 272) 
■ When the electronic key does not work properly 
● Make sure that the smart entry & start system has not been deactivated in 
the customization setting. If it is off, turn the function on.  
(Customizable features:  P. 683) 
● Check if battery-saving mode is set. If it is set, cancel the function.  
( P. 185)

When trouble arises
Start the engine to check that the radiator cooling fan operates and 
to check for coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses. 
If the fan is not operating:  
Stop the engine immediately and contact any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
If the fan is operating:  
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest authorized Toyota retailer 
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■ When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle 
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns. 
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until 
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot. 
● Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from 
the fans and belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury. 
● Do not loosen the radiator cap or the coolant reservoir cap while the 
engine and radiator are hot. High tem perature steam or coolant could 
spray out.
NOTICE
■ When adding engine coolant 
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cooled down sufficiently. Adding 
cool coolant to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine. 
■ To prevent damage to the cooling system 
Observe the following precautions: 
● Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust 
etc.). 
● Do not use any coolant additive.

Gasoline engine (except for EURO V models*1)
*1: EURO V is an emission standard. If it is not clear that your vehicle meets 
relevant standards, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
*2: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing
the engine oil. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes,
and check the oil level on the dipstick. 
■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:  
0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30:  
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving” or SN 
“Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC multigrade engine oil  
15W-40 and 20W-50:  
API grade SL, SM or SN multigrade engine oil 
Recommended viscosity (SAE): 
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a 
higher viscosity engine oil in 
extremely low temperatures, 
the engine may become difficult 
to start, so SAE 0W-20, 5W-20 
or 5W-30 engine oil is recom- 
mended.
