■Before programming Home-
Link
®
During programming, it is pos-
sible that garage doors, 
gates, or other devices may 
operate. For this reason, 
make sure that people and 
objects are clear of the 
garage door or other devices 
to prevent injury or other 
potential harm.
 It is recommended that a new 
battery be placed in the 
remote control transmitter for 
more accurate programming.
 Garage door opener motors 
manufactured after 1995 may 
be equipped with rolling code  protection. If this is the case, 
you may need a stepladder or 
other sturdy, safe device to 
reach the “Learn” or “Smart” 
button on the garage door 
opener motor.

Maintenance and care
■Bumpers and side moldings (if 
equipped)
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 engine compartment. Doing 
so may cause the electrical com-
ponents, etc. to catch fire.
■Precautions regarding the 
exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the 
exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be 
careful not to touch the pipe until it 
has cooled sufficiently, as touch-
ing a hot exhaust pipe can cause 
burns.
■Precaution regarding the rear 
bumper
If the paint of the rear bumper is 
chipped or scratched, the follow-
ing systems may not function cor-
rectly. If this occurs, consult your 
Toyota dealer.

NOTICE
■To prevent paint deteriora-
tion and corrosion on the 
body and components (alumi-
num wheels, etc.)
●Wash the vehicle  immediately in 
the following cases:
• After driving nea r the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present  on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings  or bird droppings are present on 
the paint surface
• After driving in an area contami- nated with soot, oily smoke, 
mine dust, iron powder or chem-
ical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily  soiled with d ust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and  gasoline are spilled on the paint 
surface
●If the paint is chipped or 
scratched, have it repaired 
immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from cor-
roding, remove any dirt and 
store in a place  with low humid-
ity when storing the wheels.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use 
organic substances or scrub 
with a hard brush.
This may damage the surfaces 
of the lights.
●Do not apply wax to the sur-
faces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the 
lenses.

WARNING
■Pre-driving check
Check that the hood is fully closed 
and locked.
If the hood is not locked properly, 
it may open while the vehicle is in 
motion and cause an accident, 
which may result i n death or seri-
ous injury.
■After installing the support 
rod into the slot
Make sure the rod supports the 
hood securely preventing it from 
falling down onto your head or 
body.
NOTICE
■When closing the hood
Be sure to return the support rod 
to its clip before closing the hood. 
Closing the hood with the support 
rod not clipped could cause the 
hood to bend.

■Adding fluid
1 Slide and lift up the rubber 
strip to partly remove it as 
shown.
2 Disconnect the claws and 
remove the service cover.
3 Remove the reservoir cap.
4 Add brake fluid slowly while 
checking the fluid level.
Make sure to check the fluid 
type and prepare the necessary 
item.
 Fluid typeFMVSS No.116 DOT 3 or SAE 
J1703 brake fluid
FMVSS No.116 DOT 4 or SAE 
J1704 brake fluid
Item
Clean funnel
■Brake fluid can absorb moisture 
from the air
Excess moisture in the brake fluid 
can cause a dangerous loss of brak-
ing efficiency. Use only newly 
opened brake fluid.
Check the battery as follows.
■Battery exterior
Make sure that the battery termi-
nals are not corroded and that 
there are no loose connections, 
cracks, or loose clamps.
WARNING
■When filling the reservoir
Take care as brake fluid can harm 
your hands and eyes and damage 
painted surfaces.
If fluid gets on your hands or in 
your eyes, flush the affected area 
with clean water immediately.
If you still experi ence discomfort, 
see a doctor.
NOTICE
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level 
to go down slight ly as the brake 
pads wear out or when the fluid 
level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent 
refilling, there m ay be a serious 
problem.

■Before recharging
When recharging, t he battery pro-
duces hydrogen ga s which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore, 
observe the following precautions 
before recharging:
●If recharging wi th the battery 
installed on the vehicle, be sure to 
disconnect the ground cable.
●Make sure the charger is off when 
connecting and disconnecting the 
charger cables to the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting 
the battery (vehicles with a 
smart key system)
●Unlocking the doors using the 
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately after reconnect-
ing the battery. If this happens, 
use the wireless remote control or 
the mechanical key to lock/unlock 
the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine 
switch in ACC. The engine may 
not start with the engine switch 
turned off. However, the engine 
will operate normally from the sec-
ond attempt.
●The engine switch mode is 
recorded by the vehicle. If the bat-
tery is reconnected, the vehicle 
will return the engi ne switch mode 
to the status it was in before the 
battery was disconnected. Make 
sure to turn off the engine before  disconnecting the battery. Take 
extra care when connecting the 
battery if the engine switch mode 
prior to discharge is unknown.
If the system will not start even after 
multiple attempts, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
WARNING
■Chemicals in the battery
The battery contains poisonous 
and corrosive sulfuric acid and 
may produce hydrogen gas which 
is flammable and explosive. To 
reduce the risk of death or serious 
injury, take the following precau-
tions while working on or near the 
battery:
●Do not cause sparks by touch-
ing the battery  terminals with 
tools.
●Do not smoke or light a match 
near the battery.
●Avoid contact with eyes, skin 
and clothes.
●Never inhale or swallow electro-
lyte.
●Wear protective safety glasses 
when working near the battery.
●Keep children away from the 
battery.
■Where to safely charge the 
battery
Always charge the battery in an 
open area. Do not charge the bat-
tery in a garage or closed room 
where there is ins ufficient ventila-
tion.

Maintenance and care
Rotate the tires in the order 
shown.Front
To equalize tire wear and extend 
tire life, Toyota recommends that 
tire rotation is c arried out at the 
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after tire rota-
tion.
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)
The tire pressure warning light 
comes on and a buzzer sounds 
when the tire inflation pressure 
becomes low due to natural air 
leakage or outside temperature. 
(Ways of coping:  P.395, 434)
 When “Immediately Check 
tire when Safe” is displayed 
(Emergency Warning)
The tire pressure warning light 
comes on and a buzzer sounds 
when the tire inflation pressure 
becomes low suddenly due to a 
blowout. (Ways of coping:  P.395, 
P.405)
However, the system may not be 
able to detect sudden tire ruptures 
(bursting, etc.).
The tire pressure detected by the 
tire pressure warning system can 
be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
The unit can be changed.
NOTICE
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving 
on roads with loose surfaces or 
potholes.
These conditions may cause 
losses in tire inf lation pressure, 
reducing the cushio ning ability of 
the tires. In addit ion, driving on 
rough roads may cause damage 
to the tires themselves, as well as 
the vehicle’s wheels and body.
