WARNING

When filling the reservoir

Take  care  as  brake  fluid  can  harm  your  hands  and  eyes  and  damage
painted surfaces.
If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean
water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.

NOTICE

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 out or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.

Before recharging

When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Therefore, observe the following before recharging:

If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.

Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and dis-
connecting the charger cables to the battery.

After recharging/reconnecting the battery (vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem) 

Unlocking the doors using the smart key system may not be possible imme-
diately  after  reconnecting  the  battery.  If  this  happens,  use  the  wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.

Start the engine with the engine switch in ACCESSORY mode. The engine
may  not  start  with  the  engine  switch  turned  off.  However,  the  engine  will
operate normally from the second attempt.

The engine switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the battery is recon-
nected, the vehicle will return the engine switch mode to the status it was in

Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters

When  replacing  tires  or  wheels,  tire  pressure  warning  valves  and
transmitters must also be installed.
When  new  tire  pressure  warning  valves  and  transmitters  are
installed,  new  ID  codes  must  be  registered  in  the  tire  pressure

Initializing the tire pressure warning system

When  the  tire  size  is  changed,  the  tire  pressure  warning  system
must be initialized.
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.

How to initialize the tire pressure warning system

Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off.

Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.

Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation

When to replace your vehicle’s tires

Tires should be replaced if:

The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.

You  have  tire  damage  such  as  cuts,  splits,  cracks  deep  enough  to

expose the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage

A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size

or location of a cut or other damage

If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.

Replacing tires and wheels

If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not reg-

istered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driv-

ing  for  about  20  minutes,  the  tire  pressure  warning  light  blinks  for

1 minute and stays on to indicate a system malfunction.

Tire life

Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even

if it has seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.

Routine tire inflation pressure checks

The  tire  pressure  warning  system  does  not  replace  routine  tire inflation

pressure  checks.  Make  sure  to  check  tire  inflation  pressure  as  part  of

your routine of daily vehicle checks.

Maximum load of tire

Check that the number given by dividing the maximum load by 1.10 of the

replacement  tire  is  greater  than  1/2  of  the  Gross Axle  Weight  Ratings

(GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater.
For  the  GAWR,  see  the  Certification

Label. For the maximum load of the tire,

see the load limit at maximum cold tire

inflation  pressure  mentioned  on  the

sidewall of the tire. (

Tire types

Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway

driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same

traction  performance  as  snow  tires,  summer  tires  are  inadequate  for

driving  on  snow-covered  or  icy  roads.  For  driving  on  snow-covered

roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When install-

ing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.

All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to

be  adequate  for  driving  in  most  winter  conditions,  as  well  as  for  use

year  round. All  season  tires,  however,  do  not  have  adequate  traction

performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all

season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance com-

pared with summer tires in highway driving.

Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using

snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con-

struction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Since your

vehicle  has  radial  tires  as  original  equipment,  make  sure  your  snow

tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without

first  checking  local  regulations  for  possible  restriction.  Snow  tires

should be installed on all wheels. (

P. 327)

If the tread on snow tires wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)

The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.

Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure

When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:

Check only when the tires are cold.

If  your  vehicle  has  been  parked  for  at  least  3  hours  or  has  not  been

driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire

inflation pressure reading.

Always use a tire pressure gauge.

It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its appear-

ance.

It  is  normal  for  the  tire  inflation  pressure  to  be  higher  after  driving  as

heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after

driving.

Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.

Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is

balanced.

WARNING

Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance

Keep your tires properly inflated. 

If the tires are not properly inflated, the following conditions may occur

which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:

Excessive wear

Uneven wear

Poor handling

Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires

Air leaking from between tire and wheel

Wheel deformation and/or tire damage

Greater possibility of tire damage while driving (due to road hazards,

expansion joints, sharp edges in the road, etc.)

NOTICE

When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure

Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.

If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and

cause an air leak, resulting in decreased tire inflation pressure.

Wheels

When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and
inset

*

.

Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.

*

: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.

Toyota does not recommend using the following:

Wheels of different sizes or types

Used wheels

Bent wheels that have been straightened

Use  only Toyota  wheel  nuts  and  wrenches  designed  for  use  with
your aluminum wheels.

When  rotating,  repairing  or  changing  your  tires,  check  that  the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).

Be  careful  not  to  damage  the  aluminum  wheels  when  using  tire
chains.

Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

When replacing wheels

The  wheels  of  your  vehicle  are  equipped  with  tire  pressure  warning

valves  and  transmitters  that  allow  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  to

provide advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.

Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and trans-

mitters must be installed. (

P. 421)

If  a  wheel  is  bent,  cracked  or  heavily  corroded,  it  should  be
replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a loss
of handling control.

WARNING

When replacing wheels

Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in

the Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.

Never  use  an  inner  tube  in  a  leaking  wheel  which  is  designed  for  a

tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or seri-

ous injury.

When installing the wheel nuts

Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,

leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can

cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an

accident  and  resulting  in  death  or  serious  injury.  Remove  any  oil  or

grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Use of defective wheels prohibited

Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing

an accident.

NOTICE

Replacing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters

Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warn-

ing valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your

Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to

purchase  your  tire  pressure  warning  valves  and  transmitters  at  your

Toyota dealer.

Ensure that only genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehicle.

Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not work properly

with non-genuine wheels. 

Be sure to install the wheel nuts with

the  tapered  ends  facing  inward.

Installing  the  nuts  with  the  tapered

ends  facing  outward  can  cause  the

wheel  to  break  and eventually  cause

the  wheel  to  come  off  while  driving,

After a fuse is replaced

If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may
need replacement. (

P. 442)

If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.

If there is an overload in the circuit

The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.

Type E

WARNING

To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire

Observe the following precautions.
Failing  to  do  so  may  cause  damage  to  the  vehicle,  and  possibly  a  fire  or
injury.

Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicated, or use
any other object in place of a fuse.

Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.

Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.

NOTICE

Before replacing fuses

Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your Toy-
ota dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING

Replacing light bulbs

Turn  off  the  lights.  Do  not  attempt  to  replace  the  bulb  immediately  after
turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.

Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb. Also, if the bulb is scratched
or dropped, it may blow out or crack.

Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.

Do not attempt to repair or disassemble the bulb, socket, electrical wiring,
or sub components. This may cause serious injury due to electric shock.

Vehicles with discharge headlights: 
While  the  low  beam  headlights  are
turned on, and for a short time after they
have  been  turned  off,  metal  compo-
nents  at  the  rear  of  the  headlight
assembly will be extremely hot. To pre-
vent  burns,  do  not  touch  these  metal
components  until  you  are  certain  they
have cooled down.

WARNING

Discharge headlights (if equipped)

Contact  your  Toyota  dealer  before  replacing  the  discharge  headlights
(including light bulbs).

Do not touch the discharge headlight’s high voltage socket when the head-
lights are turned on.
An extremely high voltage of 30000 V will be discharged and could result
in serious injury or death by electric shock.

Do not attempt to take apart or repair the low beam headlight bulbs, con-
nectors, power supply circuits, or related components.
Doing so could result in electric shock and death or serious injury.

When replacing the rear turn signal lights or stop/tail lights

Inspect the gasket for any damage (rip, tear, hole, etc.). If there is any dam-
age,  please  contact  your  Toyota  dealer  and  have  the  gasket  replaced.
Improper installation of the gasket may result in water entering the rear light
unit.

To prevent damage or fire

Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

Check the wattage of the bulb before installing to prevent heat damage.

NOTICE

When installing the back door trim

To  prevent  damage,  be  careful  not  to  pinch  any  of  the  wire  harnesses  or
