Trunk
The trunk can be opened using
the trunk opener switch, entry
function or wireless remote
control.
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■Before driving
●Make sure that the trunk lid is closed before driving. If not fully
closed, while driving, it may open
unexpectedly, hit near-by objects, or luggage may fall out, possibly
leading to an accident.
Also, exhaust gasses may enter the vehicle, possibly leading to death or
a serious health hazard.
●Do not allow children to play in the
trunk.
If a child is accidentally locked in the trunk, they could suffer from
heat exhaustion, suffocation or
other injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open or
close the trunk lid. Doing so may cause the trunk lid to
open unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing trunk lid.
■Important points while driving
Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In
the event of sudden braking or a colli-
sion, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.
■Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of
the body to be caught, resulting in serious injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid
before opening it. Failure to do so
may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again after it is opened.
●Be careful not to come into contact with the exhaust gasses when
opening or closing the trunk. If the
engine is running, there is a risk of being burned by the exhaust
gasses.
●When opening or closing the trunk
lid, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make
sure they are safe and let them know that the trunk is about to open
or close.
●Use caution when opening or clos-
ing the trunk lid in windy weather as
it may move abruptly in strong wind.
●The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it
is not opened fully. It is more diffi- cult to open or close the trunk lid on
an incline than on a level surface,
so beware of the trunk lid unexpect- edly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the trunk lid is fully
open and secure before using the trunk.

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
Before driving
• The smart entry & start system has
not been used for 5 days or longer.
●If the smart entry & start system has
not been used for 14 days or longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at the
passenger door. In this case, take
hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the wireless remote control or
mechanical key, to unlock the doors.
■Electronic Key Battery-Saving
Function
When battery-saving mode is set, bat-
tery depletion is minimized by stopping
the electronic key from receiving radio waves.
Press twice while pressing and
holding . Confirm that the electronic
key indicator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is set,
the smart entry & start system cannot be
used. To cancel the function, press any
of the electronic key buttons.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart entry & start system uses
weak radio waves. In the following situa- tions, the communication between the
electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart entry &
start system, wireless remote control and engine immobilizer system from
operating properly. (Ways of coping:
P.357)
●When the electronic key battery is
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio station, large dis- play, airport or other facility that gen-
erates strong radio waves or electrical
noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellu-
lar phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
●When the electronic key is in contact
with, or is covered by the 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 other wirele ss 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 digi-
tal assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players • Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the
rear window
●When the electronic key is placed
near a battery charger or electronic
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 unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the
rear bumper center when the trunk is
unlocked. • The electronic key is on the instru-
ment panel, rear package tray or floor,
or in the door pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine

WA R N I N G
●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,
shift the shift lever to P (vehicles
with an automatic transmission), stop the engine and lock the vehi-
cle.
Do not leave the vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift
lever in P but the parking brake is not set, the vehicl e may start to
move, possibly leading to an acci-
dent.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes
while the engine is running or immediately after turning the engine
off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever
or depress the accelerator pedal, this
could cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the
vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated
area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or
a serious health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive
more cautiously. Braking distance increases when
the brakes are wet, and this may
cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other
side. Also, the parking brake may
not securely hold the vehicle.
●If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow other vehi-
cles closely and avoid hills or sharp
turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible,
but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed
immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the
engine stalls. Each push on the brake pedal uses
up the reserve for the
power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 indi-
vidual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems fails, the other will still
operate. In this case, the brake
pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking
distance will increase. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessively when any of the tires is up in the air,
or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,
etc. This may damage the driveline components or propel the vehicle for-
ward or backward, causing an acci-
dent.
NOTICE
■Pre-driving check
Trapping small animals in the cooling
fan and belts of the engine may result
in a malfunction. Check that no small animal enters the engine compart-
ment and under the vehicle before
starting the engine.

1624-4. Refueling
4-4.Refueling
Close both side doors and win-
dows, and turn the engine switch
off.
Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
P.376
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded
gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that only
accommodates the special nozzle on
unleaded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank
cap
Perform the following steps to
open the fuel tank cap:
Before refueling the vehicle
WA R N I N G
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure to
do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not handle fuel indoors.
●After exiting the vehicle and before
opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal surface to dis-
charge any static electricity. It is
important to discharge static elec- tricity before refueling because
sparks resulting from static electric-
ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to
remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be
heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized
fuel may spray out the filler neck
and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not
discharged static electricity from their body to come close to an open
fuel tank.
●Do not allow anyone to approach
the area of the vehicle near the fuel
filler pipe while refueling is in pro- gress.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the
vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is stati-
cally charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible igni-
tion hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to
prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.

Maintenance and care
“UPPER LEVEL” line
“LOWER LEVEL” line
If the fluid level is at or below the
“LOWER LEVEL” line, add distilled
water.
■Adding distilled water
1 Remove the vent plug.
2 Add distilled water.
If the “UPPER LEVEL” line cannot be seen, check the fluid level by looking
directly at the cell.
3 Put the vent plug back on and
close it securely.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces
hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Therefore, observe the fol- lowing before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the
charger is off when connecting and disconnecting the charger cables to
the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the
battery
The engine may not start. Follow the
procedure below to initialize the system.
1 Shift the shift lever to P (automatic
transmission) or depress the brake pedal with the shift lever in N (man-
ual transmission).
2 Open and close either door.
3 Restart the engine.
●Unlocking the doors using the smart
entry & start system may not be possi-
ble immediately after reconnecting the battery. If this happens, use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical
key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine
switch in ACC. The engine may not start with the engine switch turned off.
However, the engine will operate nor-
mally from the second attempt.
●The engine switch mode is recorded
by the vehicle. If the battery is discon- nected and reconnected, the vehicle
will return the engine switch mode to
the status it was in before the battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn
off the engine before disconnecting
the battery. Take extra care when con- necting the battery if the engine switch
mode prior to the battery being dis-
connected is unknown.
If the engine will not start even after mul-
tiple attempts, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
■When the battery is removed or dis-
charged
Information stored in the ECU is
cleared. When the battery is depleted,
have the vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■When removing the battery termi- nals
When the battery terminals are
removed, the information stored in the ECU is cleared. Before removing the
battery terminals, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will
discharge gradually even when the vehi- cle is not in use, due to natural dis-
charge and the draining effects of
certain electrical appliances. If the vehi- cle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be una-
ble to start. (The battery recharges auto- matically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the
battery
●In some cases, it may not be possible
to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key
to lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start on the first
attempt after the battery has recharged but will start normally after
the second attempt. This is not a mal-
function.
●The engine switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the battery
is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the bat-
tery was discharged. Before discon-
necting the battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch was in before the bat- tery discharged, be especially careful
when reconnecting the battery.
WA R N I N G
■When removing the battery ter- minals
Always remove the negative (-) termi-
nal first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts any metal in the surrounding
area when the positive (+) terminal is
removed, a spark may occur, leading
to a fire in addition to electrical shocks and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or explo-sions
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidentally igniting the flam- mable gas that may be emitted from
the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is
connected to the correct terminal
and that it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the
intended terminal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of
the jumper cables to come into con-
tact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, ciga-
rette lighters or allow open flame near the battery.
■Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and
corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following
precautions when handling the bat-
tery:
●When working with the battery,
always wear safety glasses and take care not to allow any battery
fluids (acid) to come into contact
with skin, clothing or the vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
