NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
● Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red  zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
● The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature  gauge is
in  the  red  zone  (H).  In  this  case,  immediately  stop  the  vehicle   in  a  safe
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P.   5 2 9 )
■ Vo l t m e t e r
When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower whi le the engine
is running, there may be a battery or charging system malfunction. Have the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
■ Engine oil pressure gauge
When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the  engine is
running, stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and check  the amount
of engine oil. ( P. 416) 
When  the  oil  pressure  drops  even  though  the  engine  oil  amount  h as  not
decreased,  or  if  the  oil  pressure  does  not  increase  when  engine   oil  is
added, contact your Toyota dealer, as there may be a problem wi th the lubri-
cation system.

■Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak radio waves. In the following si tuations, the
communication  between  the  electronic  key  and  the  vehicle  may  be   affected,
preventing the smart key system, wireless remote control and en gine immobi-
lizer system from operating properly. (Ways of coping:  P. 523)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near  a  TV  tower,  electric  power  plant,  gas  station,  radio  stati on,  large  dis-
play,  airport  or  other  facility  that  generates  strong  radio  wav es  or  electrical
noise
● When  carrying  a  portable  radio,  cellular  phone,  cordless  phone  or  other
wireless communication device
● When  the  electronic  key  is  in  contact  with,  or  is  covered  by  th e  following
metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
● When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity
● When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
● When  carrying  the  electronic  key  together  with  the  following  devices  that
emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits  radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
● If  window  tint  with  a  metallic  content  or  metallic  objects  are  attached  to  the
back window
● When  the  electronic  key  is  placed  near  a  battery  charger  or  ele ctronic
devices
■ 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 unl ocked.
• The  electronic  key  is  on  the  instrument  panel  or  floor,  or  in  the  console
box or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch mo des are
changed.

Winter driving tips
●Use  fluids  that  are  appropriate  t o  the  prevailing  outside  tempera-
tures.  • Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the battery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set  of tire
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match
the size of the tires.
Perform the following according  to the driving conditions: 
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is fr ozen.
Pour  warm  water  over  the  frozen  area  to  melt  the  ice.  Wipe  away
the water immediately to p revent it from freezing. 
● To  ensure  proper  operation  of  the  climate  control  system  fan,
remove  any  snow  that  has  accumulated  on  the  air  inlet  vents  in
front of the windshield. 
● Check for and remove any excess ic e or snow that may have accu-
mulated  on  the  exterior  lights,  vehicle’s  roof,  chassis,  around  the
tires or on the brakes.
