■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 room, floor, or in the door pockets or glove box when
the EV system is started or power 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 doors may unlock 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 approxi- mately 30 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●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 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.)

WARNING
●Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal
depressed. Changing the shift position to any position other than P or N may lead
to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an acci-dent and result in death or serious
injury. After changing the shift position, make sure to confirm the current
shift position displayed on the shift position indicator inside the meter.
■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. 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 depress the accelerator pedal unnecessarily.
If the shift position is in any position other than P or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly and unexpect-
edly, causing an accident.
●In order to prevent accidents due to
the vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the brake pedal while stopped with the “READY”
indicator is illuminated, and apply the parking brake as necessary.
●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.
■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.

The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the ped-
als from being depressed properly, may block the driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or
passengers, possibly causing an acci- dent.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the lug-
gage compartment whenever pos- sible.
●Do not stack cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks.
●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed

WARNING
●Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the luggage cover
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
• In front of the instrument cluster
●Secure all items in the occupant
compartment.
■Load and distribution
●Do not overload your vehicle.
●Do not apply loads unevenly.
Improper loading may cause deteri- oration of steering or braking con-trol which may cause death or
serious injury.
■When using a roof luggage car-
rier (vehicles with roof rails)
Observe the following precautions:
●Place the cargo so that its weight is
distributed evenly between the front and rear axles.
●If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or width. ( P.554)
●Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof lug-
gage carrier.
●Loading cargo on the roof luggage
carrier will make the center of grav- ity of the vehicle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneu- vers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to
failure to operate this vehicle cor- rectly and result in death or serious injury.
●If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the vehicle now and then
during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.
●Do not exceed 75 kg (165.3 lb.) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.

Permissible drawbar load
Allocate the trailer load so that the
drawbar load is greater than 25 kg
(55.1 lb.) or 4% of the towing capacity.
Do not let the drawbar load exceed the
indicated weight. ( P.554)
■Information tag (manufac-
turer’s label)
Gross vehicle mass
The combined weight of the driver, pas-
sengers, luggage, towing hitch, total
curb mass and drawbar load should not
exceed the gross vehicle mass by more
than 100 kg (220.5 lb.). Exceeding this
weight is dangerous.
Maximum permissible rear axle
capacity
The weight borne by the rear axle
should not exceed the maximum per-
missible rear axle capacity by 15% or
more. Exceeding this weight is danger-
ous. The values for towing capacity
were derived from testing conducted at
sea level. Take note that EV system
output and towing capacity will be
reduced at high altitudes.1 538 mm (21.2 in.)
2 538 mm (21.2 in.)
WARNING
■When the gross vehicle mass or maximum permissible axle
capacity is exceeded
Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.
●Add an additional 20.0 kPa (0.2
kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) to the recom- mended tire inflation pressure
