Before driving
when necessary. (P.368)
• The smart key system or the wire- less remote control does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key sur- face does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do
not leave the electronic key within
3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-
cal appliances t hat produce a
magnetic field:
• TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the
vehicle for longer than necessary,
even if the smart key system is not
operated, the key battery may
become depleted faster than nor-
mal.
■Replacing the battery
 P. 3 6 8
■Confirmation of the registered
key number
The number of keys already regis-
tered to the vehicle can be con-
firmed. Ask your Toyota dealer for
details.
■If “A New Key has been Regis-
tered Contact Your Dealer for
Details” is shown on the
multi-information display (vehi-
cles with a smart key system)
This message will be displayed
each time the driver’s door is
opened when the doors are
unlocked from the outside for
approximately 10 days after a new
electronic key has been registered.
If this message is displayed but you
have not had a new electronic key
registered, ask your Toyota dealer to
check if an unknow n electronic key (other than those in your posses-
sion) has been registered.
NOTICE
■To prevent key damage
●Do not drop the keys, subject
them to strong shocks or bend
them.
●Do not expose the keys to high
temperatures for long periods of
time.
●Do not get the keys wet or wash
them in an ultrasonic washer
etc.
●Vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem: Do not att
ach metallic or
magnetic materials to the keys
or place the keys close to such
materials.
●Do not disassemble the keys.
●Do not attach a s ticker or any-
thing else to the surface of the
key.
●Vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem: Do not place the keys near
objects that produce magnetic
fields, such as TVs, audio sys-
tems and induction cookers.
●Vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem: Do not place the keys near
medical electrical equipment
such as low-frequency therapy
equipment or microwave ther-
apy equipment, and do not
receive medical attention with
the keys on your person.

1594-1. Before driving
4
Driving
requires practice. Grip the
bottom of the steering wheel
and move your hand to the
left to move the trailer to the
left. Move your hand to the
right to move the trailer to
right. (This is generally oppo-
site to reversing without a
trailer attached.) Avoid sharp
or prolonged turning. Have
someone guide you when
reversing to reduce the risk of
an accident.
 As stopping distance is
increased when towing a
trailer, vehicle-to vehicle dis-
tance should be increased.
For each 10 mph (16 km/h) of
speed, allow at least one
vehicle and trailer length.
 Avoid sudden braking as you
may skid, resulting in the
trailer jackknifing and a loss of
vehicle control. This is espe-
cially true on wet or slippery
surfaces.
 Avoid jerky starts or sudden
acceleration.
 Avoid jerky steering and
sharp turns, and slow down
before making turn.
 Note that when making a turn,
the trailer wheels will be
closer than the vehicle wheels
to the inside of the turn. Com-
pensate by making a wider
than normal turning radius.
 Slow down before making a turn, in cross winds, on wet or
slippery surfaces, etc.
Increasing vehicle speed can
destabilize the trailer.
 Take care when passing other
vehicles. Passing requires
considerable distance. After
passing a vehicle, do not for-
get the length of your trailer,
and be sure you have plenty
of room before changing
lanes.
 To maintain engine braking
efficiency and charging sys-
tem performance when using
engine braking, do not put the
transmission in D. If in the M
mode, the transmission shift
range position must be in 6 or
lower. ( P.168)
 Instability happens more fre-
quently when descending
steep or long downhill grades.
Before descending, slow
down and downshift. Do not
make sudden downshifts
while descending steep or
long downhill grades.
 Avoid holding the brake pedal
down too long or applying the
brakes too frequently. This
could cause the brakes to
overheat and result in
reduced braking efficiency.
 Due to the added load of the
trailer, your vehicle’s engine
may overheat on hot days (at
temperatures over 85°F
[30°C]) when driving up a long

1684-2. Driving procedures
*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise, shift the shift lever
to D for normal driving.
■To protect the continuously
variable transmission
If the transmission fluid tempera-
ture is high, “Transmission Oil Temp
High Stop in a Safe Place and See
Owner’s Manual” will be displayed
while driving, make sure to return to
D position driving and reduce speed
by easing off the accelerator pedal.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, shift
the shift lever to P and let the engine
idle until the warning message goes
out.
When the warning message goes out, the vehicle can be driven again.
If the warning message does not go
out after waiting a while, have your
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
