Pop-Up display

The pop-up display is displayed on the multi-information display according to
the operating conditions of the following functions:

●

Route guidance display of the navigation system-linked system (if equipped)

●

Incoming call display of the hands-free phone system

The pop-up display function can be disabled.

■

Tire inflation pressure

●

It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the
engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode. It may also take a few min-
utes to display the tire inflation pressure after inflation pressure has been
adjusted.

●

“---” may be displayed if the tire information cannot be determined due to
unfavorable radio wave conditions.

●

Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may
also be different from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.

■

Outside temperature display

In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change:

●

When the vehicle is stopped, or moving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20
km/h])

●

When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit
of a garage, tunnel, etc.)

●

When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. Take your
vehicle to Toyota dealer.

■

Liquid crystal display

Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to

WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

For safety, avoid operating the meter control switches while driving as much
as possible, and do not look continuously at the multi-information display
while driving. Stop the vehicle and operate the meter control switches. Fail-
ure to do so may cause a steering wheel operation error, resulting in an
unexpected accident.

■

Cautions while setting up the display

As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.

■

The multi-information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the multi-informa-
tion display. At extremely low temperatures, the multi-information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

While setting up the display

To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while setting
up the display features.

To take out the mechanical key,
push the release button and take
the key out.

The  mechanical  key  can  only  be
inserted  in  one  direction,  as  the
key only has grooves on one side.
If  the  key  cannot  be  inserted  in  a
lock  cylinder,  turn  it  over  and  re-
attempt to insert it.
After  using  the  mechanical  key,  store  it  in  the  electronic  key.  Carry  the
mechanical key together with the electronic key. If the electronic key bat-
tery  is  depleted  or  the  entry  function  does  not  operate  properly,  you  will
need the mechanical key. (

■

If you lose your mechanical keys

New genuine mechanical keys can be made by your Toyota dealer using the
other mechanical key 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 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.

Key battery depletion

●

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. 447)

• 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 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

■

Precautions when disconnecting the battery

●

In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
key system immediately after the battery has been disconnected. Use the
wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.

●

The engine may not start on the first attempt after reconnecting the battery
but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.

●

The engine switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the battery
was disconnected. Before disconnecting the battery, turn the engine switch
off.

If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in when the battery was
disconnected, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.

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.

●

Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as
TVs, audio systems and induction cookers, or medical electrical equip-
ment, such as low-frequency therapy equipment.

■

Carrying the electronic key on your person

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

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

■

When an electronic key is lost

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 was provided with your vehicle.
