2434-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
4
Before driving
the electronic key and the vehicle
may be affected, preventing the
smart key system, wireless remote
control and immobilizer system 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 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 key (that
emits radio waves) is being used
nearby
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices
that emit radio waves
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication devices
• 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 with 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.
●Operate the wireless remote con-
trol. If the doors cannot be
locked/unlocked using the above
methods, use the mechanical key.
(
 P.220)
If the hybrid system cannot be
started using the smart key system,
refer to P.568.
■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 on the instru- ment panel, luggage cover or
floor, or in the door pockets or
glove box when the hybrid system
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 door 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
doors detecting the electronic key
can be used to lo ck or unlock the
vehicle. (For vehicles equipped
with sensors on the rear door han-
dles, it is possible to lock (but not
unlock) all the doors using a door
handle that is not being detected

2885-1. Before driving
When the following unusual
operation is performed with the
accelerator pedal depressed,
the hybrid system 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.
NOTICE
■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.
■If you get a flat tire while driv-
ing
A flat or damaged tire may cause
the following situations.
●It may be difficult to control your
vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal
sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnor-
mally.
Hold the steering wheel firmly and
gradually depress the brake pedal
to slow down the vehicle.
Information on what to do in case
of a flat tire ( P.557)
■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 is
flooded, be sure to have your
Toyota dealer c heck the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality
of oil and fluid used for the
engine, hybrid transaxle (front
and rear), etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bear-
ings and suspension joints
(where possible), and the func-
tion of all joints, bearings, etc.
●Components connected to the
traction battery.
■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 vehicle may acceler-
ate suddenly if t he accelerator
pedal is accidentally depressed.
Sudden start restraint

Repeatedly flashes 4 times
continuously (Orange)
■The wireless charger can be
operated when
The power switch i s in ACC or ON.
■Usable portable devices
●Qi standard wireless charge stan-
dard can be used on compatible
devices. However, not all Qi stan-
dard devices and compatibility are
guaranteed.
●Starting with mobile phones and
smartphones, it is aimed for low
power electrically supplied porta-
ble devices of no more than 5W.
●However, charging exceeding 5 W
is supported by the following por-
table devices.
• Charging at 7.5 W or less is sup-
ported by iPhone’s that support
7.5 W charging.
• Charging at 10 W or less is sup-
ported by portable devices compli-
ant with EPP output as defined by
WPC standard Ver1.2.4.
■Using the smart key system
If the smart key 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 porta-
ble device. Depending on the type
of cover (including the certain genu-
ine manufacture parts) and acces-
sory, it may not be possible to
charge. When charging is not per-
formed even with the portable
device placed on the charge area,
remove the cover and accessories.
■While charging, noise enters
the AM radio
●Turn off the wireless charger and
confirm that the noise has
decreased. If the noise
decreases, continuously pushing
the power supply switch of the
wireless charger for 2 seconds,
the frequency of the charger can
be changed and the noise can be
reduced. Also, on that occasion,
the operation indicator light will
flash orange 2 times.
●iPhone’s use a particular fre-
quency for rapid charging.
Depending on the iOS version,
rapid charging may not be per-
formed while switching frequen-

Vehicle specifications
SAE 0W-16
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available,
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil
change.Outside temperature
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the characteristic of the oil
which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting
of the engine in cold weather.
• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. An oil with a higher
viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme
load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
API registered mark is added to
some oil containers to help you
select the oil you should use.
