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 riding in an aircraft
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.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not 
leave the electronic key within 1 m (3 
ft.) of the following electrical appli-
ances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and 
battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cord-
less phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the vehicle 
for longer than necessary, even if the 
smart entry & start system is not oper-
ated, the key battery may become 
depleted faster than normal.

■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.
• The electronic key is on the instru-
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

wash the vehicle:
• 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.
■When the vehicle is not driven for 
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 
alarm may go off accidentally, or the

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.
