3-1. Key information
Before driving
battery may be depleted. Replace the  
battery when necessary. ( P.378) • The wireless remote control does not operate. 
• The detection area becomes smaller.
■Key battery depletion (vehicles  with a smart entry & start system)
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin and a message will be shown on the multi-information  
display when the engine is stopped.
●To reduce key battery depletion when 
the electronic key is to not be used for  long periods of time, set the electronic key to the battery-saving mode.  
( P.137)
●As the electronic key always receives  
radio waves, the battery will become  depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms  
indicate that the electronic key battery  may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P.378) 
• The smart entry & start system or the  wireless remote control does not oper-ate. 
• The detection area becomes smaller. • The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m (3  
ft.) of the following electrical appli- ances that produce a magnetic field:•TVs 
• Personal computers • Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers 
• Recharging cellular phones or cord- less phones• Table lamps 
• Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the vehicle 
for longer than necessary, even if the  smart entry & start system is not oper-ated, the key battery may become  
depleted faster than normal.
■Replacing the battery 
 P. 3 7 8
■If “New Key Registered Contact  Your Dealer if You Did Not Register a New Key” is shown on the multi- 
information display (vehicles with a  smart entry & start system) 
This message will be displayed each  
time the driver’s door is opened when  the doors are unlocked from the outside for approximately 10 days after a new  
electronic key has been registered. If this message is displayed but you have not had a new electronic key regis- 
tered, ask any authorized Toyota retailer  or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer to check if an unknown  
electronic key (other than those in your  possession) has been registered.
■If a wrong key is used 
The key cylinder rotates freely, isolated  
from the internal mechanism.
NOTICE
■To prevent key damage
●Do not drop the keys, subject them 
to strong shocks or bend them.
●Do not expose the keys to high 
temperatures for long periods of  time.
●Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.
●Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or  
place the keys close to such materi- als.
●Do not disassemble the keys.
●Do not attach a sticker or anything  
else to the surface of the key.

4-1. Before driving
Driving
■Sudden acceleration/steering  
input/cornering 
Executing sharp turns when towing  
may result in the trailer colliding  
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in  
advance when approaching turns  
and take them slowly and carefully  
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding  
turning 
The wheels of the trailer will travel  
closer to the inside of the curve  
than the wheels of the vehicle. To  
make allowance for this, take the  
turns wider than you would nor- 
mally do.
■Important points regarding 
stability 
Vehicle movement resulting from  
uneven road surfaces and strong 
crosswinds will affect handling. The  
vehicle may also be rocked by  
passing buses or large trucks. Fre- 
quently check behind when moving  
alongside such vehicles. As soon  
as such vehicle movement occurs,  
immediately start to decelerate  
smoothly by slowly applying the  
brakes. Always steer the vehicle  
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles 
Consider the total combined length  
of your vehicle and trailer and  
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle  
distance is sufficient before execut- 
ing lane changes.
■Transmission information
Multidrive 
To maintain engine braking effi- 
ciency and charging system perfor- 
mance when using engine braking,  
do not use the transmission in D,  
must be in M and select gear step 4  
or lower. ( P.179)
Manual transmission 
Refrain from driving in 6th gear to  
maintain the effectiveness of  
engine braking and to maintain  
charging system performance.
■If the engine overheats 
Towing a loaded trailer up a long,  
steep incline in temperatures  
exceeding 30°C (85°F) may result  
in the engine overheating. If the  
engine coolant temperature gauge  
indicates that the engine is over- 
heating, turn the air conditioning off  
immediately, leave the road and  
stop the vehicle in a safe place.  
( P.442)
■When parking the vehicle 
Always place wheel chocks under  
the wheels of both the vehicle and  
trailer. Firmly set the parking brake  
and shift the shift lever to P (Multid- 
rive) and 1 or R (manual transmis- 
sion).

4-2. Driving procedures
Driving
*: If equipped
*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce  
noise, shift the shift lever to D for nor-
mal driving.
■To protect the Multidrive 
If the Multidrive fluid temperature is  
high, “Transmission Oil Temp. High Stop  in a Safe Place and See Owner’s Man-ual” will be displayed on the multi-infor- 
mation display and the vehicle will go  into transmission protection mode auto-matically. Have the vehicle inspected by  
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■When driving with dynamic radar  
cruise control or dynamic radar  cruise control with full-speed range (if equipped) 
Even when switching the driving mode  to power mode with the intent of enabling engine braking, engine braking  
will not occur because dynamic radar  cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range will not be  
canceled. ( P.299)
■Restraining sudden start (Drive- Start Control) 
 P. 1 6 5
■G AI-SHIFT 
G AI-SHIFT automatically selects a suit- able gear for sporty driving according to driver’s input and driving conditions. G  
AI-SHIFT operates automatically when  the shift lever is in D and power mode is selected for the driving mode. (Selecting  
other than power mode or shifting the  shift lever to the other position cancels this function)

tion. Daytime running lights are not  
designed for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor 
The sensor may not function properly if  an object is placed on the sensor, or  
anything that blocks the sensor is  affixed to the windshield.Doing so interferes with the sensor  
detecting the level of ambient light and  may cause the automatic headlight sys-tem to malfunction.
■Automatic light off system
●When the light switch is in   or  
: The headlights and front fog  
lights (if equipped) turn off automati- 
cally if the engine switch is turned to 
ACC or OFF.
●When the light switch is in  : The  
headlights and all lights turn off auto- 
matically if the engine switch is turned 
to ACC or OFF.

engine switch to ON, or turn the light  
switch   or   once and then back  
to  or .
■Light reminder buzzer 
A buzzer sounds when the engine  
switch is turned to OFF or ACC and the  driver’s door is opened while the lights are turned on.
■Automatic headlight leveling sys- 
tem (if equipped) 
The level of the headlights is automati- cally adjusted according to the number  
of passengers and the loading condition  of the vehicle to ensure that the head-lights do not interfere with other road  
users.
■When unlock the doors (welcome  lamp) (vehicles with LED type headlights) 
When the doors are unlocked using the  entry function or wireless remote con-trol, the front position lights turn on auto- 
matically. 
When the light switch is in the AUTO  position and the surrounding area is  
dark, this function will operate.
■Battery-saving function 
In order to prevent the battery of the  
vehicle from discharging, if the light  
switch is in the   or   position  
when the engine switch is turned off the  
battery saving function will operate and 
automatically turn off all the lights after 
approximately 20 minutes. When the 
engine switch is turned to ON, the bat-
tery-saving function will be disabled.
When any of the following are per-
formed, the battery-saving function is 
canceled once and then reactivated. All 
the lights will turn off automatically 20 
minutes after the battery-saving function 
has been reactivated:
●When the headlight switch is operated
●When a door is opened or closed
