WARNING

■

When programming a garage

door or other remote control

device

The garage door or other device

may operate, so ensure people

and objects are out of danger to

prevent potential harm.

■

Conforming to federal safety

standards

Do not use the HomeLink

com-

patible transceiver with any

garage door opener or device that

lacks safety stop and reverse fea-

tures as required by federal safety

standards.
This includes any garage door

that cannot detect an interfering

object. A door or device without

these features increases the risk

of death or serious injury.

Before programming Home-
Link



During programming, it is pos-
sible that garage doors,
gates, or other devices may
operate. For this reason,
make sure that people and
objects are clear of the
garage door or other devices
to prevent injury or other
potential harm.



It is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the
remote control transmitter for
more accurate programming.



Garage door opener motors
manufactured after 1995 may
be equipped with rolling code
protection. If this is the case,
you may need a stepladder or
other sturdy, safe device to
reach the “Learn” or “Smart”
button on the garage door
opener motor.

Working from top to bottom,
liberally apply water to the
vehicle body, wheel wells and
underside of the vehicle to
remove any dirt and dust.



Wash the vehicle body using
a sponge or soft cloth, such
as a chamois.



For hard-to-remove marks,
use car wash soap and rinse
thoroughly with water.



Wipe away any water.



Wax the vehicle when the
waterproof coating deterio-
rates.

If water does not bead on a clean
surface, apply wax when the vehi-
cle body is cool.

■

Self-restoring coat

The vehicle body has a self-restor-

ing coating that is resistant to small

surface scratches caused in a car

wash etc.

●

The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years

from when the vehicle is delivered

from the plant.

●

The restoration time differs

depending on the depth of the

scratch and outside temperature.

The restoration time may become

shorter when the coating is

warmed by applying warm water.

●

Deep scratches caused by keys,

coins, etc. cannot be restored.

●

Do not use wax that contains

abrasives.

■

Automatic car washes

●

Before washing the vehicle:

• Fold the mirrors
Start washing from the front of the
vehicle. Extend the mirrors before
driving.

●

Brushes used in automatic car

washes may scratch the vehicle

surface, parts (wheel, etc.) and

harm your vehicle’s paint.

●

When it is necessary to set the

power switch to ACC with the shift

position held in N, refer to P.181.

■

High pressure car washes

●

As water may enter the cabin, do

not bring the nozzle tip near the

gaps around the doors or perime-

ter of the windows, or spray these

areas continuously.

●

Turn the power switch off.

■

When using a car wash

If the door handle becomes wet

while the electronic key is within the

effective range, the door may lock

and unlock repeatedly. In that case,

remove condensation build up.

●

When the water-repellent perfor-

mance has become insufficient,

the coating can be repaired. Con-

tact your Toyota dealer.

■

Plated portions

If dirt cannot be removed, clean the

parts as follows:

●

Use a soft cloth dampened with an

approximately 5% solution of neu-

tral detergent and water to clean

the dirt off.
