Please note that this manual
applies to all models and explains
all equipment, including options.
Therefore, you may find some
explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this
manual are current at the time of
printing. However, because of the
Toyota policy of continual product
improvement, we reserve the right
to make changes at any time with-
out notice.
Depending on specifications, the
vehicle shown in the illustrations
may differ from your vehicle in
terms of equipment.
Both genuine Toyota and a wide
variety of other spare parts and
accessories for Toyota vehicles are
currently available on the market.
Should it be determined that any of
the genuine Toyota parts or acces-
sories supplied with the vehicle
need to be replaced, Toyota recom-
mends that genuine Toyota parts or
accessories, be used to replace
them. Other parts or accessories of
matching quality can also be used.
Toyota cannot accept any liability or guarantee spare parts and acces-
sories which are not genuine
Toyota products, nor for replace-
ment or installation involving such
parts. In addition, damage or per-
formance problems resulting from
the use of non-genuine Toyota
spare parts or accessories may not
be covered under warranty.
Also, remodeling like this will have
an effect on advanced safety equip-
ment such as Toyota Safety Sense
and there is a danger that it will not
work properly or the danger that it
may work in situations where it
should not be working.
The installation of an RF-transmit-
ter system in your vehicle could
affect electronic systems such as:
zMultiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel
injection system
zToyota Safety Sense (if
equipped)
zDynamic radar cruise control (if
equipped)
zAnti-lock brake system
zSRS airbag system
zSeat belt pretensioner system

When bringing a key with wireless
remote control function onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons
on the key while inside the aircraft cabin.
If you are carrying the key in your bag,
etc., ensure that the buttons are not
likely to be pressed accidentally. Press-
ing a button may cause the key to emit
radio waves that could interfere with the
operation of the aircraft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2
years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm
will sound in the cabin and a message
will be shown on the multi-information
display when the engine is stopped.
●To reduce key battery depletion when
the electronic key is to not be used for
long periods of time, set the electronic
key to the battery-saving mode.
(→P. 1 1 0 )
●As the electronic key always receives
radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is
not used. The following symptoms
indicate that the electronic key battery
may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. (→P.295)
• The smart entry & start system or the
wireless remote control does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface
does not turn on.

■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within
the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly
in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the
window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place when
the doors are locked or unlocked.

ment panel, luggage cover or floor, or
in the door pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch
modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top
of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle.
Depending on the radio wave recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the
outside, possibly trapping the elec-
tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within
the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone. How-
ever, only the doors detecting the
electronic key can be used to unlock
the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside
the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the electronic key is near
the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a
large amount of water splashes on the
door handle, such as in the rain or in a
car wash when the electronic key is
within the effective range. (The doors
will automatically be locked after
approximately 30 seconds if the doors
are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used
to lock the doors when the electronic
key is near the vehicle, there is a pos-
sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use
the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock sen-
sor while wearing gloves may prevent
lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is performed
using the lock sensor, recognition sig-
nals will be shown up to two consecu-
tive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and
unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to

• Place the electronic key in a location 2
m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi-
cle. (Take care to ensure that the key
is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry &
start system. (→P.110)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi-
cle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be
shown on the multi-information dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock
all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work prop-
erly if it comes into contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor
and attempt to operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a han-
dle operation immediately after enter-
ing the effective range may prevent
the doors from being unlocked. Touch
the door unlock sensor and check that
the doors are unlocked before pulling
the door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in the
detection area, it may take slightly lon-
ger to unlock the doors after the door
handle is gripped.

extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not
leave the electronic key within 2 m (6
ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be
deactivated in advance. (→P.361)
●Setting the electronic key to battery-
saving mode helps to reduce key bat-
tery depletion. (→P.110)
■To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key
when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehi-
cle when operating the system from the
outside of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding
condition of the electronic key, the key
may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The

4-1. Before driving
Driving
WARNING
■If you hear a squealing or scrap- ing noise (brake pad wear indica-
tors)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
Front brakes only: Moderate levels of brake pad and disc wear allow
enhanced front braking power. As a result, the discs may wear more quickly than conventional brake discs.
Therefore, when replacing the brake pads, Toyota recommends that you also have the thickness of the discs
measured. It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or those of the brake
discs are exceeded.
■When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not race the engine. If the vehicle is in any gear other than N, the vehicle may accelerate
suddenly and unexpectedly, caus- ing an accident.
●If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent acci-dents caused by the vehicle rolling
forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal and securely apply the parking brake as
needed.
●Avoid revving or racing the engine.
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause the exhaust system to over-
heat, which could result in a fire if combustible material is nearby.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink
cans in the vehicle when it is in the sun.Doing so may result in the follow-
ing:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette
lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic material of glasses to
deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, caus-
ing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s
electrical components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in the
vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally
when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
●Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place containers such as air fresh-
eners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs or con-tainers may act as lenses, causing
a fire in the vehicle.
●Do not leave a door or window
open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized film such as a sil-ver-colored one. Reflected sunlight
may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
●Always apply the parking brake, stop the engine and lock the vehi-cle.
Do not leave the vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running.
