⬛When the outside air temperature drops to around 0°C (32℉)
Even if you press , the air conditioning system may not work.
⬛When the air outlets are set to (vehicles with heaters)
In order to deliver cool air to the driver and passe ngers’ faces and warm air to
their feet, depending on the set temperature, the air sent to the driver and
passengers’ feet will be warmer than the air sent to the upper body.
⬛When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle
after closing the windows, it is recomme nded that the air intake mode be set
to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
⬛Outside/recirculated air mode
Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in prevent-
ing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature is high.
⬛Ventilation and air conditioning odors
⚫To let fresh air in, set the air conditio ning system to the outside air introduc-
tion mode.
⚫During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odors to
be emitted from the vents.
⚫When the automatic mode is used, the fan may stop for a while immediately
after the air conditioning system starts to reduce potential odors generated
during startup. In addition, it is re commended that the air conditioning sys-
tem be set to outside air introduction mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

⦁ Charging may not be possible due to protection features.
⦁ Even if charging starts, it may ta ke long time to be completed.
⚫If the temperature inside the vehicle is high, such as immediately after the
vehicle has been parked in the hot sun
⦁ By using the air conditioning system or other means, ventilate the vehicle
and decrease the temperature inside it. After a while, start charging.
⦁ If charging is performed in a high temperature environment, it may be
automatically stopped by the temperature sensor.
WARNING
⚫Inserting fingers or foreign matter such as metals and liquid into the USB

3106-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may move
suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or seri-
ous injury, observe the following precautions.
⬛When working on the engine compartment
⚫Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive
belt.
⚫Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc., right
after driving as they may be hot. O il and other fluids may also be hot.
⚫Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the
engine compartment.
⚫Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the battery.
Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
⚫Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
⚫Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage
painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the
affected area with cl ean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
⬛When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the engine switch is in off.
With the engine switch in “ON”, the elect ric cooling fan may automatically start
to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high.
( ➞ P. 320)
⬛Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from
getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
⬛If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear
due to dirt in the air.
⬛If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear
or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.

Close the hood
aSupport the hood with one hand
b Hold the grip and remove the hood stay, and restore it to its original
position
c Lower the hood gently and close it by pushing it with your hand
⬛To disconnect the battery terminals
If you disconnect the battery terminals, the information stored in the computer
will be erased. Before removing the battery terminals, contact your Toyota

unexpectedly. Be especially careful on windy days.
⬛To prevent injury
The interior of the engine compartment is hot after driving. Touching hot com-
ponents can cause serious injury such as burns.
⬛Verification after inspecting the engine compartment
Before starting the engine, make sure that no flammable materials are left in
the engine compartment. Make sure th at there are no flammable materials
such as twigs brought in by small animals and birds in the engine compart-

⦁ If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
⦁ If there is a lot of snow or ice on th e vehicle, particularly around the wheels
or wheel housings.
⦁ If the tire inflation pressure is extr emely higher than the specified level.
⦁ If the spare tire is in a location subj ect to poor radio wave signal reception.
⦁ If a large metallic object which can in terfere with signal reception is put
near the spare tire.
⦁ If a wheel, not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmit-
ter, is used.
⦁ If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not
registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
⚫Performance may be affected in the following situations.
⦁Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
⦁ When carrying a portable radio, cellul ar phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
⚫When the vehicle is parked, the time ta ken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
⚫When tire inflation pressure declin es rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.
⬛The initialization operation (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
⚫Make sure to carry out init ialization after adjusting th e tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold befo re carrying out initialization or tire
inflation pressure adjustment.
⚫If you have accidentally turned the engi ne switch to “OFF” during initializa-
