CAMRY_U

■

If you lose your keys

New genuine keys can be made by your Toyota dealer using the other key
(vehicles without a smart key system) or the other mechanical key (vehicles
with a smart key system) and the key number stamped on your key number
plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. 

■

When riding in an aircraft

When  bringing  a  key  with  wireless  remote  control  function  onto  an  aircraft,
make sure you do not press any button 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. 

■

Conditions affecting operation



Vehicles without a smart key system

The wireless remote control function may not operate normally in the follow-
ing situations:

●

When the wireless key battery is depleted

●

Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical
noise

●

When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone or other wireless communi-
cation devices

●

When the wireless key is in contact with, or is covered by a metallic object

●

When other wireless key (that emit radio waves) is being used nearby

●

Key battery depletion



Vehicles without a smart key system

●

The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.

●

Even if the key is not used, the battery may become depleted and the fol-
lowing symptoms may occur. Replace the battery with a new one when nec-
essary. (



P. 504)

• The wireless remote control function does not operate.
• The area in which the wireless remote control function can be operated

becomes smaller.



Vehicles with a smart key system

●

The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.

●

If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine
stops.

●

As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate  that  the  electronic  key  battery  may  be  depleted.  Replace  the  battery
when necessary. (



P. 504)

• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.

●

To reduce key battery depletion when the electronic key is to not be used for
long periods of time, set the electronic key to the battery-saving mode. 
(



P. 163)

●

To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1
m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
• TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers

■

Replacing the battery



P. 504

■

Confirmation of the registered key number

The number of keys already registered to the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask
your Toyota dealer for details.

■

If a wrong key is used

The key cylinder rotates freely to isolate inside mechanism.

NOTICE

■

To prevent key damage

●

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

●

Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for long periods 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 electronic key
and key (with a wireless remote control function).

●

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

■

Carrying the electronic key on your person (vehicles with a smart key
system)

Carry the electronic key 3.9 in. (10 cm) or more away from electric appli-
ances  that  are  turned  on.  Radio  waves  emitted  from  electric  appliances
within 3.9 in. (10 cm) of the electronic key may interfere with the key, caus-
ing the key to not function properly.

■

In case of a smart key system malfunction or other key-related prob-
lems (vehicles with a smart key system)

Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to
your Toyota dealer.

■

When an electronic key is lost (vehicles with a smart key system)

If the electronic key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases signifi-
cantly.  Visit  your  Toyota  dealer  immediately  with  all  remaining  electronic
keys that were provided with your vehicle.

WARNING

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

■

Before driving

●

Make sure that the trunk lid is fully closed. If the trunk lid is not fully closed,
it may open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or luggage
in the trunk may be thrown out, causing an accident.

●

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  open  unexpectedly,  or  cause  the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing trunk lid.

■

Important points while driving

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.

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.

●

On an incline it is more difficult to open or close the trunk lid 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.

●

Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the trunk
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly
shut again after it is opened. 

●

When  opening  the  trunk  lid,  take  care
so that it does not hit anyone in the face
or any other part of the body.

●

When  closing  the  trunk  lid,  take  extra
care  to  prevent  your  fingers  etc.  from
being caught.

●

When closing the trunk lid, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface.

Note 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 opened.

• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray or floor,

or in the door pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine
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 recep-
tion 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. However, only the doors detecting the elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●

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 or lock  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  doors  will  automatically  be  locked  after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)

●

If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic
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.)

●

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 sig-
nals  will  be  shown  up  to  two  consecutive  times. After  this,  no  recognition
signals will be given.

*

●

If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the
following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• 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 stolen.)

• Set  the  electronic  key  to  battery-saving  mode  to  disable  the  smart  key

system. (



P. 163)

●

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis-
play and 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.

●

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 origi-
nal position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle
again.

●

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.

●

Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door han-
dle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the door.

■

Driving in the rain

●

Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.

●

Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.

●

Refrain  from  high  speeds  when  driving  on  an  expressway  in  the  rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.

■

Engine speed while driving

In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.

Breaking in your new Toyota

To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom-
mended:

●

For the first 186 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.

●

For the first 621 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

■

Drum-in-disc type parking brake system

Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of brake
system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or whenever the
parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your Toyota dealer per-
form the bedding down operation.

WARNING

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

■

When starting the vehicle

Always  keep  your  foot  on  the  brake  pedal  while  stopped  with  the  engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal. 
• Accidentally  depressing  the  accelerator  pedal  instead  of  the  brake

pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident.

• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-

culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.

• Make  sure  to  keep  a  correct  driving  posture  even  when  moving  the

vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelera-
tor pedals properly.

• Depress  the  brake  pedal  using  your  right  foot.  Depressing  the  brake

pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.

●

Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot
parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.

●

During  normal  driving,  do  not  turn  off  the  engine. Turning  the  engine  off
while  driving  will  not  cause  loss  of  steering  or  braking  control,  but  the
power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to
steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so. 
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: 



P. 527

●

Use  engine  braking  (downshift)  to  maintain  a  safe  speed  when  driving
down a steep hill. 
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. (



P. 220)

●

Do not adjust the display, the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or
the inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.

●

Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle.

●

AWD models: Do not drive the vehicle off-road.
This is not an AWD vehicle designed for off-road driving. Proceed with all
due caution if it becomes unavoidable to drive off-road.

WARNING

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

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit per-
mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-
speed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire
failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer
to  determine whether the  tires on your  vehicle are high-speed capability
tires or not before driving at such speeds.

■

When driving on slippery road surfaces

●

Sudden  braking,  acceleration  and  steering  may  cause  tire  slippage  and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle.

●

Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine
speed could cause the vehicle to skid.

●

After  driving  through  a  puddle,  lightly  depress  the  brake  pedal  to  make
sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.

■

When shifting the shift lever

●

Do not let the vehicle roll backward while the shift lever is in a driving posi-
tion, or roll forward while the shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering
performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to P while the vehicle is moving. 
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward. 
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to a driving position while the vehicle is moving
backward. 
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.

●

Shifting the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is
selected.

●

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
Shifting the shift lever to a gear other than P or N may lead to unexpected
rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in
death or serious injury.

WARNING

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

■

If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indica-
tors)

Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible. 
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads
and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.

■

When the vehicle is stopped

●

Do not race the engine.
If the shift lever is any position other than P or N, the vehicle may acceler-
ate suddenly and unexpectedly, causing an accident.

●

In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep
depressing  the  brake  pedal  while  the  engine  is  running,  and  apply  the
parking brake as necessary.

●

If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused
by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal
and securely apply the parking brake as needed.

●

Avoid revving or racing the engine. 
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible
material is nearby.

CAMRY_U

WARNING

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

■

When the vehicle is parked

●

Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in
the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a

fire.

• The  temperature  inside  the  vehicle  may  cause  the  plastic  lenses  and

plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.

• Soft  drink  cans  may  fracture,  causing  the  contents  to  spray  over  the

interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s
electrical components.

●

Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a
place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when
luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.

●

Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place
containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard.
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehi-
cle.

●

Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a
metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause
the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.

●

Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, stop the engine
and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift lever in P but the parking brake is not
set, the vehicle may start to move, possibly leading to an accident.

●

Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.

WARNING

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

■

When taking a nap in the vehicle

Always  turn  the  engine  off.  Otherwise,  if  you  accidentally  move  the  shift
lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire
due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly
ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to
death or a serious health hazard.

■

When braking

●

When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.

●

If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow other vehicles
closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking. 
In  this  case,  braking  is  still  possible,  but  the  brake  pedal  should  be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.

●

Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. 
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted
brakes.

●

The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the
systems  fails,  the  other  will  still  operate.  In  this  case,  the  brake  pedal
should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will
increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately. 

■

If the vehicle becomes stuck (AWD models)

Do not spin the wheels excessively when any of the tires is up in the air, or
the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage the driveline com-
ponents or propel the vehicle forward or backward, causing an accident.

NOTICE

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving, as this may restrain driving torque.

●

Do  not  use  the  accelerator  pedal  or  depress  the  accelerator  and  brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.

■

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 accelerate suddenly if
the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.

■

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 on the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.

■

If you get a flat tire while driving 

A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehi-
cle.

●

It may be difficult to control your vehicle.

●

The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.

●

The vehicle will lean abnormally.

Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants. 
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) — (Total weight of occupants)

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit —

(1) Locate  the  statement  “The  combined  weight  of  occupants  and

cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s
placard. 

(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that

will be riding in your vehicle. 

(3) Subtract  the  combined  weight  of  the  driver  and  passengers  from

XXX kg or XXX lbs.

(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug-

gage load capacity. 
For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be
five  150  lb  passengers  in  your  vehicle,  the  amount  of  available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 



 750 (5



150) =

650 lbs.) 

(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded

on  the  vehicle.  That  weight  may  not  safely  exceed  the  available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 

(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be

transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.
(
