■Conditions in which the wireless  charger may not operate correctly
In the following situations, the wireless charger may not operate correctly:
● When a portable device is fully charged
● When  there  is  a  foreign  object  between  the  charging  area  and  portable
device
● When a portable device becomes hot while charging
● When  a  portable  device  is  placed  on  the  wireless  area  with  its  charging
surface facing up
● When a portable device is not centered on the charging area
● When  the  vehicle  is  near  a  TV  tower,  electric  power  plant,  gas  station,
radio  station,  large  display,  airport  or  other  facility  that  ge nerates  strong
radio waves or electrical noise
● When the portable device is in contact with, or is covered by a ny of the fol-
lowing metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Metal hand warmers
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
● When wireless keys (that emit radio waves) other than those of  your vehi-
cle are being used nearby.
If in situations other than above the wireless charger does not operate prop-
erly or the operation  indicator light is blinking, the wireless  charger may be
malfunctioning. Contact your Toyota dealer.
■ To prevent failure or damage to data
● Do not bring magnetic cards, such as a credit card, or magnetic recording
media, close to the wireless charger. Otherwise, data may be er ased due
to the influence of magnetism.
Additionally,  do  not  bring  precision  instruments  such  as  wrist  watches,
close to the wireless charger, as such objects may malfunction.
● Do  not  leave  portable  devices  in  the  cabin.  The  temperature  ins ide  the
cabin may become high when parked in the sun, and cause damage  to the
device.
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not use the wireless charger for a long period of time with the engine is
stopped.

Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■Cleaning the exterior lights
● Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a h ard brush. 
This may damage the surfaces of the lights.
● Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■ When using a high pressure car wash
● Do  not  spray  water  directly  on  the  radar  which  is  equipped  behi nd  the
emblem. Otherwise it may cause the device to be damaged.
● Do  not  bring  the  nozzle  tip  close  to  boots  (rubber  or  resin  man ufactured
cover),  connectors  or  the  following  parts.  The  parts  may  be  dam aged  if
they come into contact with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
● Keep  the  cleaning  nozzle  at  least  11.9  in.  (30  cm)  away  from  th e  vehicle
body.  Otherwise  resin  section,  such  as  moldings  and  bumpers,  may  be
deformed  and  damaged. Also,  do  not  continuously  hold  the  nozzle   in  the
same place.
● Do not spray the lower part of the windshield continuously.
If  water  enters  the  air  conditioning  system  intake  located  near  the  lower
part  of  the  windshield,  the  air  conditioning  system  may  not  ope rate  cor-
rectly.
● Do  not  wash  the  underside  of  the  vehicle  using  a  high  pressure  car
washer.
■ Cleaning the high mounted stoplight and cargo lamps
When using high-pressured car washers, the tip of the nozzle sh ould be at
least 20 in. (50 cm) from the car body. Water can seep lamp hou sing or the
vehicle cabin if the nozzle is closer to the car body.

Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■Repairing  or  replacing  tires,  wheels,  tire  pressure  warning  valves,
transmitters  and  tire  valve  caps  (vehicles  with  the  tire  pressure
warning system)
●When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valves  and  transmitters,  contact  your  Toyota  dealer  as  the  tire  pres-
sure  warning  valves  and  transmitters  may  be  damaged  if  not  hand led
correctly.
●Make  sure  to  install  the  tire  val ve  caps.  If  the  tire  valve  caps  are  not
installed,  water  could  enter  the  tire  pressure  warning  valves  a nd  the
tire pressure warning valves could be bound.
●When  replacing  tire  valve  caps,  do  not  use  tire  valve  caps  othe r  than
those specified. The cap may become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmi t-
ters (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
When  a  tire  is  repaired  with  liquid  sealants,  the  tire  pressure  warning valve  and  transmitter  may  not  operate  properly.  If  a  liquid  sea lant  is
used, contact your Toyota dealer  or other qualified service shop as soon
as  possible.  Make  sure  to  replace  the  tire  pressure  warning  valve  and
transmitter when replacing the tire. ( P. 432)
■Driving on rough roads
Take  particular  care  when  drivi ng  on  roads  with  loose  surfaces  or  pot-
holes.
These  conditions  may  cause  losses  in  tire  inflation  pressure,  reducing
the  cushioning  ability  of  the  t ires.  In  addition,  driving  on  ro ugh  roads
may  cause  damage  to  the  tires  themselves,  as  well  as  the  vehicl e’s
wheels and body.
■If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while drivi ng
Do not continue driving, or your t ires and/or wheels may be ruined.

4446-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are cold.
If  your  vehicle  has  been  parked  for  at  least  3  hours  or  has  not  been
driven for more than 1 mile or  1.5 km, you will get an accurate  cold tire
inflation pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based o nly on its appear-
ance.
●It  is  normal  for  the  tire  inflation  pressure  to  be  higher  after   driving  as
heat  is  generated  in  the  tire.  Do  not  reduce  tire  inflation  pre ssure  after
driving.
●Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehi cle is
balanced.
WARNING
■Proper inflation is  critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated. 
If  the  tires  are  not  properly  in flated,  the  following  conditions  may  occur
which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious i njury:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire and wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire damage
●Greater  possibility  of  tire  damage  while  driving  (due  to  road  h azards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusti ng tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire  valve caps back on.
If a valve cap is not installed , dirt or moisture may get into  the valve and
cause an air leak, resulting in decreased tire inflation pressu re.

Maintenance and care
Remove the filter cover.
Pull the filter out of the filter out-
let.
Remove  the  air  conditioning  filter
and replace it  with a new one.
When installing the filter, follow the
instructions indicated on the label.
■Checking interval
Inspect  and  replace  the  air  conditioning  filter  according  to  th e  maintenance
schedule.  In  dusty  areas  or  areas  with  heavy  traffic  flow,  earl y  replacement
may be required. (For scheduled maintenance information, please  refer to the
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.)
■ If air flow from the ven ts decreases dramatically
The filter may be clogged. Check the filter and replace if nece ssary.
