■If the engine is started with th e power outlet main switch on
The maximum capacity of the power supply may decrease to below  the stan-
dard, or may be cut off completely, even when the vehicle is st ationary.
■ The protection circuit may be act ivated to cut the power supply if any of
the following conditions apply:
● The engine is started with the power outlet main switch on.
● Use of electrical appliances exceeding the maximum capacity is  attempted.
A sound may be heard when the protection circuit is activated.  This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a malfunction.
● Electrical  appliances,  which  consume  power  exceeding  100  W,  have  been
used continuously for a long time period.
● The total power usage by all electrical features (headlights, a ir conditioning,
etc.)  has  exceeded  the  total  vehicle  maximum  for  an  extended  period  of
time.
■ If the protection circuit is act ivated and the power supply is  cut, conduct
the following procedure:
Park  the  vehicle  in  a  safe  place,  and  then  securely  apply  the  parking
brake.
Check and ensure the following conditions:
Vehicles with an automatic transmission 
The shift lever is in P or N.
Vehicles with a manual transmission 
The shift lever is in N and the clutch pedal is not depressed.
Make sure that the power consumption of the electric appliance  is within
the  maximum  capacity  of  the  power  outlet  and  the  appliance  is  n ot  bro-
ken.
Press the power outlet main switch again.
When the cabin temperature is high, open the windows to cool th e tempera-
ture  down.  Once  it  reaches  the  normal  temperature,  turn  the  pow er  outlet
main switch on again.
If  the  power  supply  does  not  resume  even  after  the  above  procedure  has
been performed, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota deale r.

any necessary repairs.
■ To prevent injuries and accidents, secure all electric appliances before
use and do not use any appliances that may do any of the follow ing:
● Distract the driver while driving, or hamper safe driving.
● Result in a fire or burn injuries due to the appliance rolling,  falling or over-
heating while driving.
● Emit steam while the windows  of the cabin are closed.

4026-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior
●Working  from  top  to  bottom,  liberally  apply  water  to  the  vehicl e
body,  wheel  wells  and  underside  of  the  vehicle  to  remove  any  di rt
and dust.
● Wash  the  vehicle  body  using  a  sponge  or  soft  cloth,  such  as  a
chamois.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughl y
with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the wate rproof coating deteriorates.
If  water  does  not  bead  on  a  clean  surface,  apply  wax  when  the  vehicle
body is cool.
■Automatic car washes
●Fold the mirrors before washing the vehicle. Start washing from  the front of
the vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors before driving.
● Brushes  used  in  automatic  car  washes  may  scratch  the  vehicle  su rface,
parts (wheel, etc.) and harm your vehicle’s paint.
● In  certain  automatic  car  washes,  the  roof  antenna  may  interfere  with
machine  operation. This  may  prevent  the  vehicle  from  being  clea ned  prop-
erly or result in damage to the antenna.
■ High pressure car washes
As  water  may  enter  the  cabin,  do  not  bring  the  nozzle  tip  near  the  gaps
around the doors or perimeter of the windows, or spray these ar eas continu-
ously.
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in
prime condition: 

4366-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■Initializing the tire pressure warning system (if equipped)
Initialize the system with the tire inflation  pressure adjusted  to  the  speci-
fied level.
■If the tread on snow tires wea rs down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
■Situations  in  which  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  may  not  op er-
ate properly (if equipped)
●In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may no t operate
properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used. 
• A tire has been replaced with a  tire that is not an OE (Original Equip-
ment) tire.
• A tire has been replac ed with a tire that is not of the specif ied size.
• Tire chains, etc., are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported ru n-flat tire is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is instal led.
• If  there  is  a  lot  of  snow  or  ice  on  the  vehicle,  particularly  around  the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If  the  tire  inflation  pressure  is  extremely  higher  than  the  sp ecified
level.
• If  wheel  without  the  tire  pressure  warning  valve  and  transmitt er  is
used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmi tters is
not registered in the tire  pressure warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio stat ion, large
display,  airport  or  other  facilit y  that  generates  strong  radio  waves  or
electrical noise
• When  carrying  a  portable  radio,  cellular  phone,  cordless  phone  or
other wireless communication device
●When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to s tart or go
off could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when  a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.

When trouble arises
7-1. Essential information
If  the vehicle is submerged or water on the 
road is rising
●If the door can be opened, open the door and exit the vehicle.
● If  the  door  can  not  be  opened,  open  the  window  using  the  power
window switch and ens ure an escape route.
● If the window can be opened, exit the vehicle through the windo w.
● If  the  door  and  window  cannot  be  opened  due  to  the  rising  water ,
remain calm, wait until the water  level inside the vehicle rises to the
point that the water pressure inside of the vehicle equals the  water
pressure outside of the vehicle and then open the door after wa iting
for the rising water to enter the vehicle, and exit the vehicle . When
the outside water level exc eeds half the height of the door, the door
cannot be opened from the inside due to water pressure.
■ Water level exceeds the floor
When  the  water  level  exceeds  the  floor  and  time  has  passed,  the   electrical
equipment will get damaged, the power windows will not operate, the engine
stop, and the vehicle may not be able to get moving.
