Maintenance and care
●If the electronic key is inside the 
vehicle and a door handle 
becomes wet during a car wash, a 
buzzer may sound outside the 
vehicle and “Key Detected In 
Vehicle” may be shown on the 
multi-information  display. To turn 
off the alarm, lock all the doors.
■Wheels and wheel ornaments
●Remove any dirt immediately by 
using a neutral detergent.
●Wash detergent off with water 
immediately after use.
●To protect the paint from damage, 
make sure to obs erve the follow-
ing precautions.
• Do not use acidi c, alkaline or 
abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use det ergent on the 
wheels when they are hot, such 
as after driving or parking in hot 
weather
■Painted brake calipers (if 
equipped)
●When using detergent, use neu-
tral detergent. Do not use hard 
brushes or abrasive cleaners, as 
they will damage the paint.
●Do not use detergent on the brake 
calipers when th ey are hot.
●Wash detergent off immediately 
after use.
■Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if the vehicle is 
parked with wet brake pads or disc 
rotors, causing them to stick. Before 
parking the vehicle after it is 
washed, drive slow ly and apply the 
brakes several times to dry the 
parts.
■Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the 
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with an  approximately 5% solution of neu-
tral detergent and water to clean 
the dirt off.
●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft 
cloth to remove any remaining 
moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alco-
hol wet wipes or a similar product.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of 
the motor compartment. Doing so 
may cause the electrical compo-
nents, etc. to catch fire.
■When cleaning the windshield 
(vehicles with rain-sensing 
windshield wipers)
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, 
the wipers may operate unexpect-
edly in the following situations, 
and may result in hands being 
caught or other serious injuries 
and cause damage to the wiper 
blades.

ItemsParts and toolsWARNING
The motor compartment contains 
many mechanisms and fluids that 
may move suddenly, become hot, 
or become electrically energized. 
To avoid death or  serious injury, 
observe the following precautions.
■When working on the motor 
compartment
●Make sure that “POWER ON” 
on the multi-information display 
and the “READY” indicator are 
both off.
●Keep hands, clothing and tools 
away from the moving fan.
●Be careful not to touch the 
motor, power control unit, radia-
tor, etc., right after driving as 
they may be hot. Coolant and 
other fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may 
burn easily, such as paper and 
rags, in the motor compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or 
expose an open flame to the 12-
volt battery. 12-volt battery 
fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when 
working on the 12-volt battery. It 
contains poisonous and corro-
sive sulfuric acid.
●Never touch, disassemble, 
remove or replace the high volt-
age parts, cables and their con-
nectors. It can cause severe 
burns or electric shock that may 
result in death or serious injury.

Maintenance and care
If the warning message appears 
on the multi-information display, 
the washer tank may be empty.
Add washer fluid.
NOTICE
■When recharging the 12-volt 
battery
Never recharge the 12-volt bat-
tery while the EV system is oper-
ating. Also, be sure all 
accessories are turned off.
■When adding distilled water
Avoid overfilling. Water spilled 
during 12-volt battery recharging 
may cause corrosion.
Adding the washer fluid
WARNING
■When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the 
EV system is hot or operating as 
washer fluid contains alcohol and 
may catch fire if spilled on the 
motor, etc.
NOTICE
■Do not use any fluid other 
than washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or anti-
freeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on 
the vehicle’s painted surfaces, as 
well as damaging the pump lead-
ing to problems of the washer 
fluid not spraying.
■Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as 
necessary.
Refer to the freezing tempera-
tures listed on the label of the 
washer fluid bottle.

Rotate the tires in the order 
shown.
To equalize tire wear and extend 
tire life, Toyota recommends that 
tire rotation is carried out at the 
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after tire rota-
tion.
Front
■When rotating the tires
Make sure that the  power switch is 
OFF. If the tires are rotated while the 
power switch is in ON, the tire posi-
tion information will not be updated. 
If this accidentally occurs, either turn 
the power switch to OFF and then to 
ON, or initialize the system after 
checking that the  tire pressure is 
properly adjusted.
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 warning sys-
tem of this vehicle adopts a 2-
type warning system.
 When “Adjust Pressure” is 
displayed (Normal Warning)
A warning with the tire pressure 
warning light and warning buzzer 
when there is an unknown level of 
low tire pressure with the appear-
ance of the tire due to natural air 
leakage as well as the pressure 
lowering due to changes in the 
pressure according to the outside 
temperature.
When “Immediately Check 
Tire when Safe” is displayed 
(Emergency Warning)
A warning with the tire pressure 
warning light and warning buzzer 
when there is a k nown level of low 
tire pressure with the appearance 
of the tire due to pressure suddenly 
lowering.
However, the system may not be 
able to detect sudden tire ruptures 
(bursting, etc.).
 The tire pressure detected by 
the tire pressure warning sys-
tem can be displayed on the 
multi-information display.
NOTICE
■If tire inflation pressure of 
each tire becomes low while 
driving
Do not continue driving, or your 
tires and/or wheels may be 
ruined.

■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 power 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 mea-
sured 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.
• If a window tint that affects the  radio wave signals is installed.
• 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 speci-
fied level.
• If wheels without tire pressure  warning valves and transmitters 
are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure  warning valves and transmitters is 
not registered in the tire pressure 
warning computer.
