■Usable portable devices
●Qi standard wireless charge standard
can be used on compatible devices.
However, not all Qi standard devices
and compatibility are guaranteed.
●Starting with mobile phones and
smartphones, it is aimed for low
power electrically supplied portable
devices of no more than 5W.
●However, charging exceeding 5 W is
supported by the following portable
devices.
• Charging at 7.5 W or less is supported
by iPhone’s that support 7.5 W
charging.
• Charging at 10 W or less is supported
by portable devices compliant with
EPP output as defined by WPC stan-
dard Ver1.2.4.
■Using the smart entry & start sys-
tem
If the smart entry & start system detects
the key while a device is being charged,
charging will be temporarily stopped.
■When covers and accessories are
attached to portable devices
Do not charge in situations where cover
and accessories not able to handle Qi
are attached to the portable device.
Depending on the type of cover (includ-
ing the certain genuine manufacture
parts) and accessory, it may not be pos-
sible to charge. When charging is not
performed even with the portable device
placed on the charge area, remove the
cover and accessories.

them to the replacement wiper
insert.
4 Insert the wiper insert starting
from the claw at the center of
the wiper blade. Pass the wiper
insert through the 3 claws so
that it sticks out from the stop-
per, and then pass the wiper
insert through the final remain-
ing claw.
Applying a small amount of washer fluid to the wiper insert can make it easier to insert the claws into the grooves.
5 Check that the wiper blade
claws are fitted in the grooves of
the wiper insert.
If the wiper blade claws are not fitted in
the grooves of the wiper insert, grasp the wiper insert and slide it back and forth multiple times to insert the claws
into the grooves.
Lightly lift up the center of the wiper insert to make the rubber easier to
slide.
6 When installing a wiper blade,
reverse the procedure in step 1.
After installing the wiper blade, check that the connection is locked.
■Wiper blade and wiper insert han-dling
Improper handling may result in damage to the wiper blades or wiper insert. If you have any concerns about replacing the
wiper blades or wiper insert yourself, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
NOTICE
■When lifting the windshield wip-
ers
●When raising the wiper arms off the windshield, lift up the driver side
first, and then lift up passenger side. When returning the wipers to their original position, return the
passenger side first.
●Do not lift a windshield wiper by the
wiper blade. Otherwise, the wiper blade may be deformed.
●Do not operate the wiper lever when the windshield wipers are lifted. Otherwise, the windshield
wipers may contact the hood, pos- sibly resulting in damage to the windshield wipers and/or hood.
