WARNING
●Installation of electronic devices
such as mobile two-way radios
and CD players
●Modifications to your vehicle for
a person with a physical disabil-
ity
Pop Up Hood
In the event of a frontal col-
lision with a body, such as a
pedestrian, the Pop Up
Hood system raises the
hood to reduce the possibil-
ity of a serious impact to the
pedestrian’s head area by
adding clearance to the fuel
cell unit compartment.
When the sensors located
at the back of the front
bumper detect a frontal
impact with a body, such as
a pedestrian, which meets
or exceeds the threshold
level while the vehicle is
being driven within the
operational speed range,
the system operates.

1384-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
Owners Manual_USA_M62064_en
●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 immobilizer system from
operating properly. (Ways of coping:
P.482)
●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 covered by the fol-
lowing metallic objects
• Cards to which al uminum 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 wireless keys (that
emit radio waves) are being used
nearby
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices that emit radio waves
• Another electronic key or a wire- less 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.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high
place when the doors are locked
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too
close to the center of the rear
bumper when the trunk is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, rear package tray or
floor, or in the door pockets or
glove box when the fuel cell sys-
tem is started or power switch
modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on
top of the instrument panel or near
the door pockets when exiting the
vehicle. Depending on the radio
wave reception conditions, it may
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the doors will
become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is
within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the

and power is cut, perform the fol-
lowing procedure.
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe place
and set the parking brake.
2 Ensure that the shift position is in
P or N.
3 Check that the power consumed
by the electrical devices is within
1500 W and any device has not
malfunctioned.
4 Press the AC 120 V switch.
If the inside of the vehicle is hot,
open the windows to lower the tem-
perature and turn the switch back on
once the inside o f the vehicle
reaches a normal temperature. If
following the procedure above does
not restore power, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■For safe use
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Do not use devices such as the
following when driving:
• Devices which cannot be prop- erly secured within the vehicle.
• Devices which may distract the driver and be a hindrance to
safe driving, such as a TV, DVD
player, etc.
• Unsecured devices which gen- erate heat, such as a toaster,
microwave, electric heater, elec-
tric kettle, coffee maker, etc., as
they may cause burns or a fire
in the case of sudden braking or
an accident.
• Devices which may fall under the pedals and prevent the
brake pedal from being
depressed.
●Do not use devices which pro-
duce steam while the windows
are closed. Doing so may cause
the windows to fog up, reducing
visibility and making it difficult to
drive safely. Also, the steam
may damage or negatively
affect other devices. If the
device must be used, stop the
vehicle and open the windows
before use.
●Do not use damag ed electronic
devices. The power supply
function may not be able to be
used.
●Do not disconnect the plug of a
device while your hands are wet
or insert a pin or other object
into the power ou tlet. Also, if a
liquid or snow is on the power
outlet, dry the outlet before
using it.
●Do not attempt to modify, disas-
semble or repair a power outlet.
For information on repairs, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not let child ren touch the
power outlets.
●Keep the power o utlets free of
dust and foreign matter. Also,
regularly clean the power outlet.
●If the plug of a device fits
loosely in a power outlet, even
though it is fully inserted,
replace the power outlet. For
information on replacement,
contact your Toyota dealer.
