●When battery-saving mode is set, 
battery depletion is minimized by 
stopping the electronic key from 
receiving radio waves.
Press   twice while pressing and 
holding . Confirm that the elec-
tronic key indicator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is

used. To cancel the  function, press 
any of the electronic key buttons.
●Electronic keys that will not be 
used for long periods of time can 
be set to the battery-saving mode 
in advance.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak 
radio waves. In the following situa-
tions, the communication between 
the electronic key and the vehicle 
may be affected, preventing the 
smart key system, wireless remote 
control and engine immobilizer sys-
tem from operating properly.
●When the electronic key battery is 
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power 
plant, gas station , radio station, 
large display, airpo rt or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio 
waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, 
cellular phone, cordless phone or 
other wireless communication 
device
●When the electronic key is in con-
tact with, or is c overed by the fol-
lowing metallic objects
• Cards to which  aluminum foil is 
attached
• Cigarette boxes that have alumi-
num foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wirel ess keys (that 
emit radio waves) are being used 
nearby
●When carrying the electronic key 
together with the following devices 
that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or  a wireless key that emits radio 
waves
• Personal computers or personal  digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint wit h a metallic con-
tent or metallic objects are 
attached to the rear window
●When the electronic key is placed 
near a battery charger or elec-
tronic devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a 
pay parking spot where radio 
waves are emitted
If the doors cannot be 
locked/unlocked using the smart key 
system, lock/unlock the doors by 
performing any of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to 
either front door handle and oper-
ate the entry function.

Driving
When the following unusual 
operation is performed with the 
accelerator pedal depressed, 
the engine output may be 
restrained.
When the shift lever is shifted 
to R
*.
 When the shift lever is shifted 
from P or R to forward drive 
shift position such as D
*.
When the system o perates, a mes-
sage appears on the multi-informa-
tion display. Read the message and 
follow the instruction.
*: Depending on the situation, the  shift position may not be 
changed.
■Drive-Start Control (DSC)
When the TRAC is turned off 
NOTICE
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake and 
shift the shift lever to P. Failure to 
do so may cause the vehicle to 
move or the vehi cle may acceler-
ate suddenly if the accelerator 
pedal is accidentally depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle 
parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel 
fully in either direction and hold 
it there for an extended period 
of time.
Doing so may damage the 
power steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the 
road, drive as slowly as possible 
to avoid damagi ng the wheels, 
underside of the vehicle, etc.

of a flat tire (
P.334,346)
■When encountering flooded 
roads
Do not drive on a road that has 
flooded after heavy rain etc. 
Doing so may cause the following 
serious damage to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by 
water immersion
In the event that you drive on a 
flooded road and the vehicle 
becomes flooded or stuck in mud 
or sand, be sure to have your Toy-
ota dealer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in the quantity and 
quality of the engine oil, tran-
saxle fluid, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bear-
ings and suspension joints 
(where possible), and the func-

to D for normal driving.
■To protect the continuously 
variable transmission
If the continuously variable trans-
mission fluid temperature is high, 
“Transmission Oil Temp. High Stop 
in a safe place and See owner’s 
manual” will be displayed on the 
multi-information  display and the 
vehicle will go into transmission pro-
tection mode automatically. Have 
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota 
dealer.

Do not stop the engine when the 
shift lever is in a position other 
than P. If the engin e is stopped in 
another shift lever position, the 
engine switch will not be turned 
off and remained to ON. If the

4-6.Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate 
to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician 
inspect the condition of the 
battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with 
four snow tires or purchase a 
set of tire chains for the front 
tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same 
size and brand, and that chains 
match the size of the tires.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary 
preparations and inspec-
tions before driving the 
vehicle in winter. Always 
drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions 
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a 
loss of vehicle control and cause 
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the size specified.
●Maintain the recommended 
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75 
mph (120 km/h), regardless of 
the type of snow tires being 
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just 
some wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions 
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the 
vehicle being unable to be driven 
safely, and may cause death or 
serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the 
speed limit specifi ed for the tire 
chains being used, or 30 mph 
(50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road 
surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, 
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that 
cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before 
entering a curve to ensure that 
vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing 
Assist) system.
●Do not use LDA  (Lane Depar-
ture Alert) system.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow 
tires
Request repairs or replacement of 
snow tires from Toyota dealers or 
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and 
attachment of snow tires affects 
the operation of the tire pressure 
warning valves and transmitters.
