■If the tire pressure warning
light comes on
Be sure to observe the following
precautions.
Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result
in death or serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place
as soon as possible. Adjust the
tire inflation pressure immedi-
ately.
●If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire infla-
tion pressure adjustment, it is
probable that y ou have a flat
tire. Check the ti res. If a tire is
flat, change it with the spare tire
and have the flat tire repaired by
the nearest Toy ota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking.
If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the
steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air
leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label (tire and
load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light) w hen one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflat ed tire causes
the tire to overhea t and can lead
to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to m aintain correct
tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to
trigger illuminati on of the TPMS
low tire pressure te lltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.
The TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning
light). When the system detects a
malfunction, the te lltale will flash
for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illu minated, the sys-
tem may not be ab le to detect or
signal low tire pressure as
intended.

When trouble arises
■If “Front Camera Unavailable”
or “Front Camera Unavailable
See Owner's Manual” is dis-
played

pended until the pr oblem shown in
the message is resolved. ( P.247,
466)
●PCS (Pre-Collision system)
●LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
●Automatic High Beam
●RSA (Road Sign Assist) (if
equipped)
●Dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range
■If “AWD System Overheated
Switching to 2WD Mode” or
“AWD System Overheated 2WD
Mode Engaged” is displayed
(AWD models)
This message may be displayed
when driving under extremely high
load conditions.
Drive the vehicle at low speeds and
stop the vehicle in a safe place with
the engine running until the mes-
sage is cleared.
If the message is not cleared, have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■If “Check Fuel Cap” is dis-
played
The fuel tank cap is not properly
installed. Correctly install the fuel
tank cap.
■If “Maintenance Required
Soon” is displayed
Indicates that all maintenance
according to the dr iven distance on
the maintenance schedule
* should
be performed soon.
Comes on approximately 4500
miles (7200 km) after the message
has been reset. If necessary, per-
form maintenance. Please reset the
message after the maintenance is
performed. ( P.401)
*: Refer to the separate “Scheduled
Maintenance” or “Owner’s Man-
ual Supplement” for the mainte-
nance interval applicable to your
vehicle.
■If “Maintenance Required Visit
Your Dealer” is displayed
Indicates that all maintenance is
required to correspond to the driven
distance on the maintenance sched-
ule
*.
Comes on approximately 5000
miles (8000 km) after the message
has been reset. (The indicator will
not work properly unless the mes-
sage has been rese t.) Perform the
necessary maintenance. Please
reset the message after the mainte-
nance is performed. ( P.401)
*: Refer to the separate “Scheduled
Maintenance” or “Owner’s Man-
ual Supplement” for the mainte-
nance interval applicable to your
vehicle.
■If a message that indicates the
need for visiting your Toyota
dealer is displayed
The system or part shown on the
multi-information di splay is malfunc-
tioning. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■If a message that indicates the
need for referring to Owner’s
Manual is displayed
●If any of the following messages
are shown on the multi-informa-
tion display, it may indicate a mal-
function. Immediately stop the

One of the following may be the
cause of the problem:
The electronic key may not be
functioning properly.
( P.489)
 There may not be sufficient
fuel in the vehicle’s tank.
Refuel the vehicle.
 There may be a malfunction
in the immobilizer system.
( P.79)
 There may be a malfunction
in the steering lock system.
 The hybrid system may be
malfunctioning due to an elec-
trical problem such as elec-
tronic key battery depletion or
a blown fuse. However,
depending on the type of mal-
function, an interim measure
is available to start the hybrid
system. ( P.487)
NOTICE
●Securely tighten the spare tire
clamp bolt to hold the spare
wheel carrier by the hook.
●Stow the flat tire in the spare tire
location. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the spare tire
carrier. Proper storage reduces
the possibility of i njury in a colli-
sion or during sudden braking.
●Have the flat tire repaired and
the spare tire replaced with it as
soon as possible.
■Proper storage of the spare
tire
●If the hoist assembly is slanted
when stowing a tire, the hoist
assembly may become stuck in
the wheel opening and the tire
may not be raised properly,
causing damage to the wheel or
the wire cable.
●Do not attempt to turn the spare
tire clamp bolt without a tire on
the hoist assembly, as doing so
may cause the wire cable to slip
off of the shaft inside the unit
and the wire cable may not be
able to be raised or lowered. If
the spare tire c lamp bolt has
been turned without a tire on the
hoist assembly and the wire
cable cannot be raised or low-
ered, contact your Toyota
dealer.
If the hybrid system
will not star t
Reasons for the hybrid sys-
tem not starting vary
depending on the situation.
Check the following and
perform the appropriate
procedure:
The hybrid system will not
start even though the cor-
rect starting procedure is
being followed. ( P.213)

If you lose your keys
New genuine mechanical
keys can be made by your
Toyota dealer using another
mechanical key and the key
number stamped on your
key number plate.
Keep the plate in a safe
place such as your wallet,
not in the vehicle.
NOTICE
■When an electronic key is lost
If the electronic key remains lost,
the risk of vehicle theft increases
significantly. Visit your Toyota
dealer immediately with all
remaining electronic keys that
were provided wit h your vehicle.
If the fuel filler door
cannot be opened
If the fuel filler door opener
switch cannot be operated,
contact your Toyota dealer
to service the vehicle. In
case where refueling is
urgently necessary, the fol-
lowing procedure can be
used to open the fuel filler
door.

When trouble arises
spilling out, turn the cap
slowly when removing it.
During refueling, fuel may spill
out from the filler opening due
to air being discharged from
inside the fuel tank. There-
fore, fill the fuel tank carefully
and slowly.
■When the electronic key does
not work properly
●Make sure that the smart key sys-
tem has not been deactivated in
the customization setting. If it is
off, turn the functi on on. (Custom-
izable features: P.526)
