For your information

Main Owner’s Manual

Please  note  that  this  manual  applies  to  all  models  and  explains  all  equip-
ment,  including  options.  Therefore,  you  may  find  some  explanations  for
equipment not installed on your vehicle. 

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustration may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.

Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine

Approximately five to ten hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehi-
cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does
not  warrant  these  products  and  is  not  responsible  for  their  performance,
repair,  or  replacement,  or  for  any  damage  they  may  cause  to,  or  adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products. Mod-
ification  with  non-genuine  Toyota  products  could  affect  its  performance,
safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi-
tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may
not be covered under warranty.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:

Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

Cruise control system

Anti-lock brake system

SRS airbag system

Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17

Vehicle data recordings

Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record
certain data, such as:

• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
The  recorded  data  varies according  to the  vehicle  grade  level  and  options
with which it is equipped. These computers do not record conversations or
sounds, and only record images outside of the vehicle in certain situations.

Data Transmission

Your vehicle may transmit the data recorded in these computers  to Toyota
without notification to you.

Data usage

Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.

Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:

• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if

the vehicle is leased

• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern-

ment agency

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or

vehicle owner

To  learn  more  about  the  vehicle  data  collected,  used  and  shared  by
Toyota, please visit www.toyota.com/privacyvts/.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18

Event data recorder

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed
to  record  data  related  to  vehicle  dynamics  and  safety  systems  for  a  short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether  or  not  the  driver  and  passenger  safety  belts  were  buckled/fas-

tened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake

pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ-
ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Disclosure of the EDR data

Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except
when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle)

is obtained

• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern-

ment agency

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Toyota may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing

information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure  to  have  the  systems  of  the  SRS  airbag  and  seat  belt  pretensioner
removed  and  disposed  of  by  a  qualified  service  shop  or  by  your  Toyota
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your  vehicle  has  components  that  may  contain  perchlorate.  These
components  may  include  airbag,  seat  belt  pretensioners,  and  wireless
remote control batteries.

WARNING

General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-
cle.  Alcohol  and  certain  drugs  delay  reaction  time,  impair  judgment  and
reduce  coordination,  which  could  lead  to  an  accident  that  could  result  in
death or serious injury.

Defensive  driving: Always  drive  defensively. Anticipate  mistakes  that  other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts  the  driver,  such  as  adjusting  controls,  talking  on  a  cellular  phone  or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.

General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.

Children  may  be  able  to  start  the  vehicle  or  shift  the  vehicle  into  neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the  windows  or  other  features  of  the  vehicle.  In  addition,  heat  build-up  or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

own use and provide the attendant with the electronic key only.

Key number plate

Keep  the  plate  in  a  safe  place,  not  in  the  vehicle.  In  the  event  that  a  key
(without a smart key system) or mechanical key (with a smart key system) is
lost, a new key can be made at your Toyota  dealer using  the  key number
plate. (

P. 440)

When riding in an aircraft

When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons
are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the
key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

24

1-1. Key information

NOTICE

To prevent key damage

Observe the following:

Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.

Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for a long period of time.

Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.

Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys
close to such materials.

Do not disassemble the keys.

Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the key.

Vehicles with a smart key system: Do not place the keys near objects that
produce magnetic fields, such as TVs, audio systems, induction cookers,
or  medical  electrical  equipment,  such  as  low-frequency  therapy  equip-
ment.

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk

Notes for the entry function

Even  when  the  electronic  key  is  within  the  effective  range  (detection
areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases:

• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle,

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 rear bumper center when the trunk is unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the

door pockets or glove box, auxiliary box when the engine is started or
“ENGINE START STOP” 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 outside 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.

Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to
start the engine if the electronic key is near the window.

The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is
within  the  effective  range.  (The  door  will  automatically  be  locked  after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)

Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door. 

If  the  wireless  remote  control  is  used  to  lock  the  doors  when  the  elec-
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be  unlocked  by  the  entry  function.  (Use  the  wireless  remote  control  to
unlock the doors.)

A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors  from  being  unlocked.  In  this  case,  return  the  door  handle  to  the
original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door
handle again.

Before driving

Notes for locking the doors

Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.

When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition
signals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recogni-
tion signals will be given.

If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-
tronic  key  is  within  the  effective  range,  the  door  may  lock  and  unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the
alarm, lock all the doors.

The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again.

Notes for the unlocking function

A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors  from  being  unlocked.  In  this  case,  return  the  door  handle  to  the
original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door
handle again.

Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
Remove  the  gloves  and  touch  the  sensor  on  the  back  of  the  handle
again.

If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-
tronic  key  is  within  the  effective  range,  the  door  may  lock  and  unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.

If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

from the outside of the vehicle.

Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate prop-
erly. (The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention func-
tion may not operate.)

Do not leave the electronic key inside the trunk.
The key confinement prevention function may not operate, depending on
the location of the key (close to a spare tire, the inside edge of the trunk),

WARNING

Caution while driving

Keep the trunk lid closed while driving. 
If the trunk lid is left open, it may hit near-by objects while driving or lug-
gage in the trunk may be unexpectedly thrown out, causing an accident. 
In addition, exhaust gases may enter the vehicle, causing death or a seri-
ous health hazard. Make sure to close the trunk lid before driving. 

Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the trunk lid is fully closed. If the
trunk lid is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving, caus-
ing an accident.

Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the event of sudden braking or a colli-
sion, they are susceptible to death or serious injury. 

When children are in the vehicle

Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

Do not allow children to play in the trunk.
If  a  child  is  accidentally  locked  in  the  trunk,  they  could  suffer  from  heat
exhaustion, suffocation or other injuries.

Do not allow a child to open or close the trunk lid. 
Doing so may cause the trunk lid to operate unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing trunk lid.

WARNING

Using the trunk

Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.

Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.

When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe. 

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.

Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.

The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open  or  close  the  trunk  lid  on  an
incline  than  on  a  level  surface,  so
beware  of  the  trunk  lid  unexpectedly
opening  or  closing  by  itself.  Make
sure  that  the  trunk  lid  is  fully  open
and secure before using the trunk.

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The  pretensioner  helps  the  seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu-
pant  by  retracting  the  seat  belt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side  collision  or  a  vehicle  roll-
over.

Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.

Automatic locking retractor (ALR)

When  a  passenger's  shoulder  belt  is  completely  extended  and  then
retracted  even  slightly,  the  belt  is  locked  in  that  position  and  cannot  be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. (

P. 141)

Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult
size.

Use  a  child  restraint  system  appropriate  for  the  child,  until  the  child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. 
(

P. 137)

When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat
belt, follow the instructions on P. 60 regarding seat belt usage.

Seat belt pretensioners

Seatbelt  pretensioners  are  not designed  to  activate in  a  rear  impact or
minor frontal or side impact.

The following four components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is involved in a rollover accident.

• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS curtain shield airbag for driver’s seat side
• SRS curtain shield airbag for front passenger’s seat side

The following four components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe frontal collision.

• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS front airbag for driver
• SRS front airbag for front passenger*

*: This  does  not  operate  while  the  occupant  classification  system  deter-

mines to deactivate the airbag operation. For details, refer to “Front pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbag” (

P. 97)

The following two components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the driver’s seat side of the vehicle.

• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Side airbag for driver

The following two components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the front passenger’s seat side of the
vehicle.

• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• Side airbag for front passenger

Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s  seat  belt  retractor  assemblies  must  be  replaced  only  by  Toyota
dealer. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies for the front seat-
ing positions, use only genuine Toyota parts equipped with a force limiter.

If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a
malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.

If  the  front  seat  belt  retractor  assembly  or  surrounding  area  has  been
damaged, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it
has seat belt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the contents of this
section.

Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli-
sions.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. 
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

Wearing a seat belt

Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

Always wear a seat belt properly.

Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt
for more than one person at once, including children.

Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

To  achieve  a  proper  seating  position,  do  not  recline  the  seat  more  than
necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.

Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (

P. 60)

Women who are pregnant should position
the  lap  belt  as  low  as  possible  over  the
hips  in  the  same  manner  as  other  occu-
pants.  Extend  the  shoulder  belt  com-
pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt  across  the  chest. Avoid  belt  contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.

If  the  seat  belt  is  not  worn  properly,  not
only  the  pregnant  woman,  but  also  the
fetus  could  suffer  death  or  serious  injury
as  a  result  of  sudden  braking  or  a  colli-
sion.
