When trouble arises
approximately 5 minutes to 
recharge the battery of your 
vehicle.
5 Vehicles with a smart key 
system: Open and close any 
of the doors of your vehicle 
with the engine switch OFF.
6 Maintain the engine speed of 
the second vehicle and start 
the engine of your vehicle by 
turning the engine switch to 
ON.
7 Once the vehicle’s engine 
has started, remove the 
jumper cables in the exact 
reverse order from which 
they were connected.
Once the engine starts, have the 
vehicle inspected at your Toyota 
dealer as soon as possible.
■Starting the engine when the 
battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by 
push-starting.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the 
audio system while  the engine is 
off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electri-
cal components when the vehicle 
is running at a low speed for an 
extended period, such as in heavy 
traffic.
■When the battery is removed or 
discharged
●Information stor ed in the ECU is 
cleared. When the battery is 
depleted, have the vehicle 
inspected at you r Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may  require initial-
ization. ( P.459)
■When removing the battery ter-
minals
When the battery terminals are 
removed, the information stored in 
the ECU is cleared. Before remov-
ing the battery term inals, contact 
your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery 
will discharge grad ually even when 
the vehicle is not in use, due to nat-
ural discharge and the draining 
effects of certain  electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long 
time, the battery  may discharge, 
and the engine may be unable to 
start. (The battery recharges auto-
matically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing 
the battery (vehicles with a 
smart key system)
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the 
smart key system when the bat-
tery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the 
mechanical key to lock or unlock 
the doors.
●The engine may not start on the 
first attempt after  the battery has 
recharged but will start normally 
after the second attempt. This is 
not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the 
battery is reconnected, the system 
will return to the mode it was in 
before the bat tery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the 
battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the 
engine switch wa s in before the 
battery discharged, be especially 
careful when reconnecting the 
battery.
●Vehicles with power back door: 
The power back door must be ini-
tialized. ( P. 1 1 4 )
■When replacing the battery
●Use a battery that conforms to

1Stop the engine. Set the 
parking brake and shift the 
shift lever to P.
Do not press the shift lever button 
after shifting the shit position to P.
2Remove the mud, snow or 
sand from around the front 
wheels.
3 Place wood, stones or some 
other material under the front 
wheels to help provide trac-
tion.
4 Restart the engine.
5 Shift the shift lever to D or R 
and release the parking 
brake. Then, while exercising 
caution, depress the acceler-
ator pedal.
■When it is difficult to free the 
vehicle
Press the   switch to turn off 
TRAC.
WARNING
●If steam is seen  coming from 
under the hood, do not open the 
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) 
away from the fan and belts. 
Failure to do so m ay cause the 
hands or clothing to be caught, 
resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir cap while the engine and 
radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or 
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the 
engine has cooled down suffi-
ciently. Adding cool coolant to a 
hot engine too quickly can cause 
damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the 
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant 
with foreign matter (such as 
sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
If  the vehicle becomes 
stuck
Carry out the following pro-
cedures if the tires spin or 
the vehicle becomes stuck 
in mud, dirt or snow:

would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) 
times as well on the government 
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires 
depends upon the actual conditions 
of their use. Performance may differ 
significantly from the norm due to 
variations in driving habits, service 
practices and differences in road 
characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B and 
C, and they represent the tire’s 
ability to stop on wet pavement 
as measured under controlled 
conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt 
and concrete.
A tire marked C  may have poor 
traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade 
assigned to this tire is based on 
braking (straight ahead) traction 
tests and does not include corner-
ing (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A  (the highest), B, and C, repre-
senting the tire’s resistance to 
the generation of heat and its 
ability to dissipate heat when 
tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can 
cause the material
 of the tire to 
degenerate and reduce tire life, and 
excessive temperature can lead to 
sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of 
performance which all passenger 
car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 
No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher 
levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum 
required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades 
of a tire assume tha t it is properly 
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or 
excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause 
heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.

Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES INTELLI-
GENTS conçus selon les normes de sécurité américaines applica-
bles aux véhicules à moteur (FMVSS208). L'ensemble des capteurs  
de coussins gonflables (ECU) régule le déploiement des coussins  
gonflables sur la base des informa tions qu'il reçoit des capteurs, 
etc., indiqués ci-dessus dans le  schéma illustrant les composants du 
système. Parmi ces informations figurent la gravité du choc et  l'occu-
pation du véhicule par les passagers. Le déploiement rapide des  
coussins gonflables est obtenu au moyen d'une réaction chimique  
dans les dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un gaz inoffen sif per-
mettant d'amortir le mouvement des occupants.
WARNING
■Précautions relatives aux 
coussins gonflables SRS
Respectez les précautions suiva-
ntes concernant les coussins gon-
flables SRS.
Le non-respect de ces précau-
tions peut occasionner des bless-
ures graves, voire mortelles.
●Le conducteur et tous les pas-
sagers du véhicule doivent por-
ter correctement leur ceinture 
de sécurité.
Les coussins gonflables SRS 
sont des disposit ifs supplémen-
taires à utiliser avec les cein-
tures de sécurité. 

4689-1. For owners
WARNING
●Véhicules sans système 
d'accès et de démarrage mains 
libres: Ne fixez pas d'objets 
lourds, pointus ou très durs aux 
clés.
●Ne suspendez aucun cintre ou 
objet dur aux crochets à vête-
ments. Tous ces objets pour-
raient se transformer en 
projectiles et causer des bless-
ures graves, voire mortelles en 
cas de déploiement des couss-
ins gonflables rideaux SRS.
●Si un cache en vinyle est placé 
sur la zone où le coussin gon-
flable de genoux du conducteur 
SRS se déploie, assurez-vous 
de le retirer.
●N'utilisez aucun accessoire de 
siège recouvrant les zones de 
déploiement des coussins gon-
flables latéraux SRS et du cous-
sin gonflable de coussin de 
siège SRS, car il risque de 
gêner le déploiement des cous-
sins gonflables SRS. De tels 
accessoires peuvent empêcher 
les coussins gonflables latéraux 
et le coussin gonflable de cous-
sin de siège de s'activer cor-
rectement, désactiver le 
système ou entraîner le déploie-
ment accidentel des coussins 
gonflables latéraux et du cous-
sin gonflable de coussin de 
siège, occasionnant des bless-
ures graves, voire mortelles.
●Évitez de faire subir des chocs 
ou des pressions excessives 
aux parties renfermant les com-
posants de coussins gonflables 
SRS ou aux portes avant.
En effet, cela pourrait entraîner 
un dysfonctionnement des 
coussins gonflables SRS.
●Ne touchez aucun composant 
immédiatement après le 
déploiement (gonflage) des 
coussins gonflables SRS, car ils 
peuvent être chauds.
●Si vous avez des difficultés à 
respirer après le déploiement 
des coussins gonflables SRS, 
ouvrez une porte ou une vitre 
pour faire entrer de l'air frais, ou 
bien descendez du véhicule si 
cela ne présente pas de danger. 
Essuyez tout résidu dès que 
possible afin d'éviter d'éventu-
elles irritations de la peau.
●Si les parties renfermant les 
coussins gonflables SRS, 
comme les garnitures du volant 
et des montants avant et 
arrière, sont endommagées ou 
craquelées, faites-les remplacer 
par votre concessionnaire Toy-
ota.
●Ne placez rien sur le siège du 
passager avant, comme un 
coussin par exemple. Cela a 
pour conséquence de répartir le 
poids du passager sur toute la 
surface du siège, ce qui 
empêche le capteur de détecter 
correctement le poids du pas-
sager. En conséquence, les 
coussins gonflables frontaux 
SRS du passager avant ris-
quent de ne pas se déployer en 
cas de collision.
