●Do not wipe the camera with alco-
hol, benzine or paint thinner.
Otherwise, discoloration may
occur. To remove contamination,
wipe the camera with a cloth
moistened with a diluted neutral
detergent. Then wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth.
●When waxing the vehicle, be care-
ful not to apply the wax to the
camera. If it comes in contact with
the camera, moisten a clean cloth
with a diluted neutral detergent to
remove the wax.
●The camera lens has a hard coat-
ing to help prevent scratches.
However, when washing the vehi-
cle or cleaning the camera lens,
be careful not to scratch the cam-
era lens. Do not use a washing
brush directly on the camera lens.
The image quality of the rear view
camera may deteriorate.
●Strong light shined on the camera lens may develop vertical lines
around the light source. This is not
a malfunction.
●Under the fluore
scent light, the
display may flicker. However, this
is not a malfunction.
●The image of the rear view cam-
era may be slightly different from
the actual color of the objects.
●If there is a mal function on the
multimedia system screen, refer to
“MULTIMEDIA OWNER'S MAN-
UAL”.
Rear view camera
A rear view camera is
attached to the trunk lid.
When the engine switch is
in ON and the shift lever is
set to R, the rear view cam-
era automatically displays
the rear view image behind
the vehicle on the multime-
dia system screen.
WARNING
●Since the rear view camera
uses a wide-angle lens, the
image on the monitor is different
from the actual view in terms of
distance.
●Since the range of the image on
the monitor is limited, always
check the rear view and the sur-
rounding area with your eyes
and mirrors, and move back-
ward at a slow speed. Moving
backward only by checking the
rear view image from the cam-
era could cause an accident.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the camera, switch or wiring. If
smoke comes out or you smell a
strange odor, stop using the
rear view camera immediately.
Contact your Toyota dealer for
an inspection. Continued use
may result in accident, fire or
electric shock.
NOTICE
●When washing your vehicle with
a high-pressure washer, do not
allow water to touch the camera
directly. Entry of water in the
camera lens may result in con-
densation, malfunction, fire or
electric shock.

Maintenance and care
Front
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters to detect
low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
The tire pressure detected by
the tire pressure warning sys-
tem can be displayed on the
multi-information display.
If the tire pressure drops
below a predetermined level,
the driver is warned by a screen display and a warning
light. (
P.354)
■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system
does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks . Make sure to
check tire inflation pressure as part
of your routine o f daily vehicle
checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to dis-
play the tire inflation pressure
after the engine switch is turned to
ON. It may also take a few min-
utes to display the tire inflation
pressure after infl ation pressure
has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes
with temperature. The displayed
values may also be different from
the values measured using a tire
pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire
pressure warning system may
not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire
pressure warning system may not
operate properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a
tire that is not an OE (Original
Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a
tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-support ed run-flat tire
