4286-4. Using the other interior features
WARNING
■Using the power outlet while
parked or stopped
●The power outlets are for use in
directly connecting electrical
devices such as lights. Do not
use the power outlets as gener-
ators to supply power to a
house, etc. To use this as a
power supply system for emer-
gency use (for example, as a
dedicated system that can be
connected to an external power
source, or as a system where
the supply circuit from the exter-
nal power source is separate
from the electric wiring from the
power company) for a house,
etc., consult with the manufac-
turer or dealer of this system.
●While using the power outlet,
make sure to securely engage
the parking brake and not to
shift the shift lever from P. The
vehicle may move unexpect-
edly, possibly resulting in an
accident.
●Do not leave the vehicle unat-
tended while using the power
outlet.
●Do not use the power outlet
during weather with a possibility
of lightning. If you notice light-
ning while using the power out-
let, stop using it.
●Do not use the p ower outlet if
the vehicle has a vehicle cover
installed.
●Be especially careful when
using an electrical device such
as a heater and sleeping in the
vehicle. The device may stop
unexpectedly due to operations
such as an autom atic stop of
the power supply system.
●Do not use while the vehicle is
stopped on a slope or other
slanted location. Do not move or
tilt the vehicle during use.
●Observe the fo llowing precau-
tions when using the power out-
let with the cord pulled outside
of the vehicle.
• Be careful of entry of rain or water. If the po wer outlet
becomes wet, dry the outlet
before using.
• Prevent the cord from being caught in the window or door
• Provide some slack in the cord and do not pu ll it too tight
• Make sure not to start the vehi-
cle
●Do not refuel or wash the vehi-
cle during use.
●Make sure that the hood is
closed. As the engine will start
automatically depending on the
condition of the vehicle, make
sure that nothing is left near or
contacting the exhaust pipes.
Also, do not put your head or
hands anywhere inside the
engine compartment, as the
cooling fan ma y operate sud-
denly. Keep hands and clothing
(especially a tie, scarf, etc.)
away from the fan as they may
get caught in a fan.
●Do not stop the vehicle near
objects which burn easily. If the
exhaust system is extremely
hot, it may cause a fire.
4447-1. Maintenance and care
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in
the vehicle, such as on the floor,
on the rear seats, in the DC/DC
Converter air intake vent, junc-
tion box or in the luggage com-
partment. (P.91)
Doing so may cause the DC/DC
Converter, electrical compo-
nents, etc. to malfunction or
catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS com-
ponents or wiring in the vehicle
interior wet.
( P.35)
An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or
not function properly, resulting
in death or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:
Do not let the wireless charger
( P.416) get wet. Failure to do
so may cause the charger to
become hot and cause burns or
could cause electric shock
resulting in death or serious
injury.
■Cleaning the interior (espe-
cially instrument panel)
Do not use a polis h wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel
may reflect off the windshield,
obstructing the dr iver’s view and
leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types
of detergent, as they may dis-
color the vehicle interior or
cause streaks or damage to
painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or
gasoline, alkaline or acidic solu-
tions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solu- tions, such as thinner, benzene,
and alcohol
●Do not use a polish wax or pol-
ish cleaner. The instrument
panel’s or other interior part’s
painted surface may be dam-
aged.
■Preventing damage to leather
surfaces
Observe the following precautions
to avoid damage to and deteriora-
tion of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods of time. Park the vehicle in
the shade, especially during
summer.
●Do not place items made of
vinyl, plastic, or containing wax
on the upholstery, as they may
stick to the leather surface if the
vehicle interior heats up signifi-
cantly.
4907-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
using the pullout tool.
4Check if the fuse is blown.
Replace the blown fuse with a new
fuse of an appropriate amperage
rating. The amperage rating can be
found on the fuse box lid.
Type A
Normal fuse
Blown fuse
Type BNormal fuse
Blown fuse
Type CNormal fuse

■After a fuse is replaced
●When installing the lid, make sure
that the tab is ins talled securely.
●If the lights do not turn on even
after the fuse has been replaced,
a bulb may need replacement.
( P.492)
●If the replaced fuse blows again,
have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
■If there is an ove rload in a cir-
cuit
The fuses are designed to blow,
protecting the wiring harness from
damage.
■When replacing an electronic
component, such as a lights,
etc.
Toyota recommends that you use
genuine Toyota products designed
for this vehicle. Because certain
bulbs are connected to circuits
designed to prevent overload, non-

after the seat belt is fastened and unfastened and the vehicle reaches a
certain speed.
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not
be heard because of noisy place or
an audio sound.
■Front passenger detection sen-
sor, seat belt reminder and
warning buzzer
●If luggage is placed on the front
passenger seat, the front passen-
ger detection sensor may cause
the warning light to flash and the
warning buzzer to sound even if a
passenger is not sitting in the
seat.
●If a cushion is placed on the seat,
the sensor may n ot detect a pas-
senger, and the warning light may
not operate properly.

the airbag sensor assembly, front
impact sensors, side impact sensors
(front door), side impact sensors
(front), side impact sensors (rear),
driver’s seat position sensor, front
passenger occupant classification
sensors, “AIR BAG ON” indicator
light, “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light,
front passenger’s seat belt buckle
switch, driver’s seat belt preten-
sioner, front passenger’s seat belt
pretensioner and force limiter, air-

■Electric power steering system
warning light (warning buzzer)
When the 12-volt battery charge
becomes insufficien t or the voltage
temporarily drops, the electric power
steering system warning light may
come on and the warning buzzer
may sound.
At this time, the functions of the air
conditioning, etc. may be partially
limited in order to reduce the power
consumption of the 12-volt battery.
■When the tire pressure warning
light comes on (vehicles with
tire pressure warning system)
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is
punctured.
If a tire is punctured: P.522
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the power switch to OFF then
turn it to ON. Check if the tire pres-
sure warning light comes on or
blinks.
If the tire pressur e warning light
blinks for approximately 1 minute
then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the
tire pressure warning system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
If the tire pressur e warning light
comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires
has lowered sufficiently, check
the inflation pressure of each tire
