WARNING
■If a warning light comes on or
a warning buzzer sounds
when a warning message is
shown on the multi-informa-
tion display
*
Check and follow the message
shown on the multi-information
display.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.

or yellow and the warning
buzzer beeps on ce or sounds
continuously.
■When the electric power
steering system warning light
comes on
When the light comes on yellow,
the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes
on red, the assist to the power
steering is lost and handling oper-
ations of the steering wheel
become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes
heavier than usual when operat-
ing, hold firmly and operate using
more force than usual.
■If the tire pr essure warning
light comes on ( vehicles with
tire pressure warning system)
Be sure to observe the following
precautions. Failure to do so
could cause a loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in death or serious
injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe
place as soon as possible.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure
immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire infla-
tion pressure adjustment, it is
probable that you have a flat
tire. Check the tires. If a tire is
flat, change it with the spare tire
and have the flat tire repaired by
the nearest Toyota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking. If the vehicle tires dete-
riorate, you could lose control of
the steering wheel or the
brakes.

■Starting the engine when the
battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by
push-starting.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the engine is
stopped.
(Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Except when the engine is stopped
due to the Stop & Start system)
●Turn off any unnec essary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■When the battery is removed or
discharged
●Information stor ed in the ECU is
cleared. When the battery is
depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.696)
■When removing the battery ter-
minals
When the battery terminals are
removed, the information stored in
the ECU is cleared . Before remov-
ing the battery terminals, contact
your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stor ed in the battery
will discharge gradu ally even when
the vehicle is not i n use, due to nat-
ural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the battery may discharge,
and the engine ma y be unable to
start. (The battery recharges auto-
matically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing
the battery (vehicles without
smart key start system)
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 malfunction.
■When recharging or replacing
the battery (vehicles with smart
key system)
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the bat-
tery is discharged. Use the wire-
less 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 malfunction.
●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 dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the
battery, turn the engine switch to
OFF.
If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch wa s in before the
battery discharged, be especially
careful when reconnecting the
battery.
■When the battery is removed or
discharged (vehicles with Stop
& Start system)
The Stop & Start system may not
automatically stop the engine for up
to an hour.
■When replacing the battery
●Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Use a genuine battery specifically
designed for use with the Stop &
Start system or a battery with equiv-
alent specifications to a genuine
battery. If an unsup ported battery is
used, Stop & Start system functions
may be restricted to protect the bat-
tery. Also, battery performance may
decrease and the engine may not
be able to restart. Contact your
Toyota dealer for details.
