3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
WARNING
●Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to move unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands, head, or neck to be
caught by the closing back door.
■Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as
snow and ice, from the back door before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the back door to sud-
denly shut again after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the back
door, thoroughly check to make sure the surrounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the back door is about to
open or close.
●Use caution when opening or clos-
ing the back door in windy weather as it may move abruptly in strong wind.
●The back door may suddenly shut if it is not opened fully. It is more diffi-
cult to open or close the back door on an incline than on a level sur-face, so beware of the back door
unexpectedly opening or closing by itself. Make sure that the back door is fully open and secure before
using the luggage compartment.
●When closing the back door, take extra care to prevent your fingers, etc., from being caught.
●When closing the back door, make sure to press it lightly on its outer
surface. If the back door handle is used to fully close the back door, it may result in hands or arms being
caught.
●Do not pull on the back door
damper stay ( P.140) to close the back door, and do not hang on the back door damper stay. Doing so
may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to break, causing an accident.
●If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door,
it may suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, head or neck to be caught
and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back door, using a genuine Toyota part is rec-
ommended.

NOTICE
■Back door damper stays
The back door is equipped with damper stays that hold the back door in place.
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause damage to the back door damper stay, result-
ing in malfunction.
●Do not attach any foreign objects,
such as stickers, plastic sheets, or adhesives to the damper stay rod.
●Do not touch the damper stay rod with gloves or other fabric items.
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the back door.
●Do not place your hand on the damper stay or apply lateral forces
to it.

Before driving
switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave recep-tion conditions, it may be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the elec-
tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within
the effective range, the doors may be locked or unlocked by anyone. How-ever, only the doors detecting the
electronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the hybrid system if the electronic key
is near the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a
large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is
within the effective range. (The doors will automatically be locked after approximately 30 seconds if the doors
are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used
to lock the doors when the electronic key is near the vehicle, there is a pos-sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock sen-sor while wearing gloves may prevent
lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is performed
using the lock sensor, recognition sig- nals will be shown up to two consecu-tive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effec- tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2
m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi- cle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav- ing mode to disable the smart entry & start system. ( P.141)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi- cle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis-play and a buzzer will sound outside
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work prop-erly if it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor
and attempt to operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a han-
dle operation immediately after enter- ing the effective range may prevent the doors from being unlocked. Touch
the door unlock sensor and check that the doors are unlocked before pulling the door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly lon-
ger to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m (6
ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be
deactivated in advance. ( P.431)
●Setting the electronic key to battery-
saving mode helps to reduce key bat- tery depletion. ( P.141)
■To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key
when operating the system. Do not get the electronic key too close to the vehi-cle when operating the system from the
outside of the vehicle. Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the key
may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The

■ECO Accelerator Guidance ( P.105, 111)
Eco-friendly driving may be achieved
mo r e ea si l y b y s ta y in g w it h in t he zo n e o f Eco acceleration. Also, by staying within the zone of Eco acceleration, it will be
easier to obtain a good Eco score.
●When starting off:
Gradually depress the accelerator pedal
to stay within the zone of Eco accelera-
tion and accelerate to the desired
speed. By refraining from excessive
acceleration, a good eco start score will
be obtained.
●When driving:
After accelerating to the desired speed,
release the accelerator pedal and drive
at a stable speed while staying within
the zone of Eco acceleration. By staying
within the zone of Eco acceleration, a
good eco cruise score will be obtained.
●When stopping:
By starting to release the accelerator
pedal early before decelerating, a good
eco stop score will be obtained.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observ- ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 300 km (186 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer. (vehicles with tow-
ing packages only)
●For the first 1000 km (621 miles): • Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration. • Do not drive at a constant speed for
extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a foreign
country
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis- tration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P.422)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the “READY” indicator is illuminated. This
prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel-
erator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden accelera-tion that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you
to depress the brake and accelera- tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay
response in an emergency, result- ing in an accident.
