lowing circumstances:
If the inspection glass on the top
of the battery is black.
If there is insufficient starting
capability.
The following condit ions can have a
negative effect on battery output:
Frequently driving short dis-
tances.
If the vehicle is not used for peri-
ods of longer than one month.
Only charge the battery via the
jump-starting connections, see

This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the special equip-
ment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.

If a malfunction occurs
while driving
WA R N I N G
If a malfunction occurs while driving,
immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place.
If a warning light illuminates or flashes, or a warning message is dis-
played, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place. Do not open the hood to inspect the engine, as doing so
may lead to serious injury, such as
steam burns. If a warning message is displayed, perform the necessary pro-
cedures according to the displayed
message or explanation in the owner’s manual.
These warning messages indicate that a malfunction has occurred in a
system or function of the vehicle. If
you continue to drive the vehicle, the engine may stop suddenly, possibly
leading to an accident. Also, even if
no warning lights are illuminated or messages are displayed, if any
abnormal sounds, smells or vibrations
are detected, or of the engine stops suddenly, refrain from opening the
hood to inspect the engine and con-
sult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
WA R N I N G
If you hear a loud noise or feel some-
thing impact the underside of the vehicle while driving, immediately
stop the vehicle in a safe place.
After stopping the vehicle in a safe
place, check the underside of the
vehicle for any leaking brake fluid, oil or fuel. If any fluid is leaking, stop
driving immediately and have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Brake and fuel lines run under the
floor of the vehicle. If any of these
lines are damaged, the brakes may
fail or leaking fuel may ignite and cause a fire.
WA R N I N G
If the engine stalls while driving, sev-
eral warning lights will illuminate. Depending on vehicle specifications,
the power-assisted brakes and power
steering may stop operating. In this case the braking power will be
reduced and operation of the steering
wheel will become heavy. Although the operation of the brakes and steer-
ing will not be totally lost, they will
require stronger than normal input to
operate. Stop the vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible.
WA R N I N G
While driving, if a tire has been punc-
tured or has ruptured, firmly grip the
steering wheel, gradually reduce the vehicle speed and stop the vehicle in
a safe place. Avoid sudden braking
and steering operations as doing so may cause you to lo se control of the
vehicle. Gradually reduce the vehicle
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe
place.
●Vehicles equipped with run-flat tires
As the sidewalls of run-flat tires are
especially stiff, it may be difficult to
feel when a tire is punctured or if the tire pressure has decreased sud-
denly. It may also be difficult to vis-
ually tell that a tire is flat or the inflation pressure is low.
If the tire pressure warning indicator illuminates, while avoiding sudden
braking or steering operations,
decelerate to 80 km /h or less, care- fully stop the vehicle in a safe place
and check the condition of each tire.
For details on how to check the condi- tion of the tires, see page 292. If any
tire is damaged, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author- ized repairer, or any reliable repairer
for assistance.
The tire pressure warning indicator
may not illuminate if the inflation pres-
sure of a tire drops rapidly, such as when a tire has burst.

If you have been involved in a colli-
sion, perform the following:
1 Immediately leave the vehicle
and move to a safe place in
order to avoid secondary colli-
sions. Make sure to turn the
engine switch off to help prevent
the vehicle from catching fire. If
the airbags have deployed
(inflated), the airbag related
parts will be extremely hot.
Avoid touching the parts with
your hands or any part of your
body.
2 If someone has been injured,
contact emergency services and
request assistance. If someone
has no obvious external injuries,
but they may have a head injury,
keep their airway open while
moving them as little as possi-
ble. If there is danger of the
vehicle being involved in a sec-
ondary collision, move the
injured person to a safe place
while keeping them as horizon-
tal as possible.
The button is located in the centre
console.
The red light in the button flashes

2 Hook in and close the buckles.
Have the fire extinguisher checked
every 2 years by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Take note of the next maintenance
date for the fire extinguisher.
Replace the fire extinguisher after
use or have it refilled.
If the vehicle battery is discharged,
the engine can be started from
another vehicle's battery using two
jump leads. Only use jump leads
with fully insulated terminal clamps.
1 Check whether the battery in the
other vehicle shows 12 volts.
Information about the voltage is
provided on the battery.
2 Switch off the engine of the

3Switch off any power consumers
in both vehicles.
The jump-starting connection in the
engine compartment serves as the
battery positive terminal.
A special connection on the body
serves as the negative battery ter-
minal in the engine compartment.
For further information:
Overview of the engine compart-
ment, see page 320.
Open the lid of the positive battery
terminal.
Before starting, switch off all unnec-
essary power consumers, for
example the radio, on both vehi-
cles.
1 Open the cover of the
jump-starting connection.
2 Connect a terminal clamp on the
positive/+ jump lead to the posi-
tive terminal of the battery or the
corresponding jump-starting
connection on the donor vehicle.
3 Connect the second terminal
clamp to the battery's positive
terminal or to the corresponding
jump-starting connection on the
vehicle to be started.
4 Connect a terminal clamp on the
negative/– jump lead to the neg-
ative terminal of the battery or
the corresponding engine or
body earth connection on the
donor vehicle.
5 Connect the second terminal
clamp to the negative terminal of
the battery or to a corresponding
engine or body earth connection
on the vehicle to be started.
Do not use spray products sold as
starting aids.
1 Start the engine of the donor
vehicle and allow it to run for a
few minutes at a slightly
increased idle speed.
2 Start the engine of the vehicle to
be started as normal.
If an initial attempt to start the engine
fails, wait several minutes until the dis-
charged battery has been recharged somewhat.
3 Allow both engines to run for a
few minutes.
4 Disconnect the jump leads in
reverse order to connection.
Check the battery and have it
recharged if necessary.
