Coolant” or a similar high quality 

ethylene glycol based non-silicate, 

non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-

borate coolant with long-life hybrid 

organic acid technology.

U.S.A.:

“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is 

a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% 

deionized water. (Minimum tem-

perature: -31°F [-35°C])

Canada:

“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is 

a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% 

deionized water. (Minimum tem-

perature: -44°F [-42°C])

For more details about coolant, con-

tact your Toyota dealer.

If the coolant level drops within 

a short time of replenishing

WARNING

When the hybrid system is 

hot

Do not remove the engine/power 

control unit coolant reservoir 

caps.
The cooling system may be under 

pressure and may spray hot cool-

ant if the cap is removed, causing 

serious injuries, such as burns.

NOTICE

When adding coolant

Coolant is neither plain water nor 

straight antifreeze. The correct 

mixture of water and antifreeze 

must be used to provide proper 

lubrication, corrosion protection 

and cooling. Be sure to read the 

antifreeze or coolant label.

If you spill coolant

Be sure to wash it off with water to 

prevent it from damaging parts or 

paint.

Checking the radiator and 
condenser

WARNING

When the hybrid system is 

hot

Do not touch the radiator or con-

denser as they may be hot and 

cause serious injuries, such as 

burns.

When the electric cooling fan 

is operating

Do not touch the engine compart-

ment.
With the power switch in ON, the 

electric cooling fan may automati-

cally start to run if the air condi-

tioning is on and/or the coolant

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.
If the reservoir needs frequent 

refilling, there may be a serious 

problem.

Adding the washer fluid

WARNING

When adding washer fluid

Do not add washer fluid when the 

hybrid system is hot or operating 

as washer fluid contains alcohol

The 12-volt battery is located in 
the right-hand side of luggage 
compartment.

Before recharging

When recharging, the 12-volt bat-

tery produces hydrogen gas which 

is flammable and explosive. There-

fore, observe the following precau-

tions before recharging:

If recharging with the 12-volt bat-

tery installed on the vehicle, be 

sure to disconnect the ground 

cable.

Make sure the power switch on 

the charger is off when connecting 

and disconnecting the charger 

cables to the 12-volt battery.

After recharging/reconnecting 

the 12-volt battery

Unlocking the doors using the 

smart key system may not be pos-

sible immediately after reconnect-

ing the 12-volt battery. If this 

happens, use the wireless remote 

control or the mechanical key to 

lock/unlock the doors.

Start the hybrid system with the 

power switch in ACC. The hybrid 

system may not start with the 

power switch turned off. How-

ever, the hybrid system will oper-

ate normally from the second 

attempt.

The power switch mode is 

recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-

volt battery is reconnected, the 

vehicle will return the power 

switch mode to the status it was in 

before the 12-volt battery was dis-

connected. Make sure to turn off 

the power switch before discon-

nect the 12-volt battery. Take 

extra care when connecting the 

12-volt battery if the power switch 

mode prior to discharge is 

unknown.

If the hybrid system will not start 

even after multiple attempts at all 

methods above, contact your 

Toyota dealer.

nections, cracks, or loose 
clamps.

WARNING

Where to safely charge the 

12-volt battery

Always charge the 12-volt battery 

in an open area. Do not charge 

the 12-volt battery in a garage or 

closed room where there is insuf-

ficient ventilation.

Emergency measures regard-

ing electrolyte

If electrolyte gets in your eyes

Flush your eyes with clean water 
for at least 15 minutes and get 
immediate medical attention. If 
possible, continue to apply water 
with a sponge or cloth while trav-
eling to the nearest medical facil-
ity.

If electrolyte gets on your skin

Wash the affected area thor-
oughly. If you feel pain or burning, 
get medical attention immediately.

If electrolyte gets on your 

clothes

It can soak through clothing on to 
your skin. Immediately take off the 
clothing and follow the procedure 
above if necessary.

If you accidentally swallow elec-

trolyte

Drink a large quantity of water or 
milk. Get emergency medical 
attention immediately.

When replacing the 12-volt 

battery

Use a 12-volt battery designed for 

this vehicle. Failure to do so may 

cause gas (hydrogen) to enter the 

passenger compartment, causing 

a fire or explosion. 

For replacement of the 12-volt 

battery, contact your Toyota 

dealer.

When there is insufficient 12-

volt battery fluid

Do not use if there is insufficient 

fluid in the 12-volt battery. There 

is a possible danger that the 12-

volt battery may explode.

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 can-

not 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.

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.

Maximum load of tire

Check that the maximum load 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 men-

tioned on the sidewall of the tire.

Tire types

Summer tires

Summer tires are high-speed perfor-
mance 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 pro-
vide better traction in snow and to 
be adequate for driving in most win-
ter conditions as well as for use 
year-round. All season tires, how-
ever, do not have adequate traction 
performance compared with snow 
tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, 
all season tires fall short in accelera-
tion 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 restrictions. Snow tires 
should be installed on all wheels. 
(

P.344)

If the tread on snow tires wears 

down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)

The effectiveness of the tires as 

snow tires is lost.

To equalize tire wear and extend 
tire life, Toyota recommends that 
tire rotation is carried out at the 
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after tire rota-
tion.

When rotating the tires

OFF. If the tires are rotated while 

the power switch is in ON, the tire 

WARNING

When inspecting or replacing 

tires

Observe the following precautions 

to prevent accidents.

Failure to do so may cause dam-

age to parts of the drive train as 

well as dangerous handling char-

acteristics, which may lead to an 

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

Do not mix tires of different 

makes, models or tread pat-

terns.

Also, do not mix tires of remark-

ably different treadwear.

Do not use tire sizes other than 

those recommended by Toyota.

Do not mix differently con-

structed tires (radial, bias-belted 

or bias-ply tires).

Do not mix summer, all season 

and snow tires.

Do not use tires that have been 

used on another vehicle.

Do not use tires if you do not 

know how they were used previ-

ously.

Vehicles with compact spare 

tire: Do not tow if your vehicle 

has a compact spare tire 

installed.

Vehicles without spare tire: Do 

not tow anything if a tire that has 

been repaired using the emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit is 

installed. The load on the tire 

may cause unexpected damage 

to the tire.

NOTICE

Driving on rough roads

Take particular care when driving 

on roads with loose surfaces or 

potholes.

These conditions may cause 

losses in tire inflation pressure, 

reducing the cushioning ability of 

the tires. In addition, driving on 

rough roads may cause damage 

to the tires themselves, as well as 

the vehicle’s wheels and body.

If tire inflation pressure of 

each tire becomes low while 

driving

Do not continue driving, or your 

tires and/or wheels may be 

ruined.

either turn the power switch to OFF 

and then to ON, or initialize the sys-

tem after checking that the tire pres-

sure is properly adjusted.

Your vehicle is equipped with a 
tire pressure warning system 
that uses tire pressure warning 
valves and transmitters to detect 
low tire inflation pressure before 
serious problems arise.
The tire pressure warning sys-
tem of this vehicle adopts a 2-
type warning system

When “Adjust Pressure” is 
displayed (Normal Warning)

The tire pressure warning light 
comes on and a buzzer sounds 
when the tire inflation pressure 
becomes low due to natural air 
leakage or outside temperature. 
(Ways of coping:

P.470, 523)

When “Immediately Check 
tire when Safe” is displayed 
(Emergency Warning)

The tire pressure warning light 
comes on and a buzzer sounds 
when the tire inflation pressure 
becomes low suddenly due to a 
blowout. (Ways of coping: 

P.470, 

480, 490) However, the system 
may not be able to detect sudden 
tire ruptures (bursting, etc.).
The tire pressure detected by the 
tire pressure warning system can 
be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.

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.

Tire inflation pressure

It may take a few minutes to dis-

play the tire inflation pressure 

after the power switch is turned to 

ON. It may also take a few min-

utes to display the tire inflation 

pressure after inflation pressure 

has been adjusted.

Tire inflation pressure changes 

with temperature. 

The displayed values may also be 

different from the values mea-

sured using a tire pressure gauge.

Situations in which the tire 

pressure warning system may 

not operate properly

In the following cases, the tire 

pressure warning system may not 

operate properly.

• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are 

used.

• A tire has been replaced with a 

tire that is not an OE (Original 

Equipment) tire.

• A tire has been replaced with a 

tire that is not of the specified size.

• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.

• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire 

is equipped.

• If a window tint that affects the 

radio wave signals is installed.

• If there is a lot of snow or ice on 

the vehicle, particularly around the 

wheels or wheel housings.

• If the tire inflation pressure is 

extremely higher than the speci-

fied level.

• If wheel without tire pressure 

warning valves and transmitters 

are used.

• If the ID code on the tire pressure 

warning valves and transmitters is 

not registered in the tire pressure 

warning computer.

Performance may be affected in 

the following situations.

• Near a TV tower, electric power 

plant, gas station, radio station, 

426

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

large display, airport or other facil-

ity that generates strong radio 

waves or electrical noise

• When carrying a portable radio, 

cellular phone, cordless phone or 

other wireless communication 

device

If tire position information is not cor-
rectly displayed due to the radio 
wave conditions, the display may be 
corrected by driving and changing 
the radio wave conditions.

When the vehicle is parked, the 

time taken for the warning to start 

or go off could be extended.

When tire inflation pressure 

declines rapidly for example when 

a tire has burst, the warning may 

not function.

Warning performance of the tire 

pressure warning system

The warning of the tire pressure 

warning system will change in 

accordance with the conditions 

under which it was initialized. For 

this reason, the system may give a 

warning even if the tire pressure 

does not reach a low enough level, 

or if the pressure is higher than the 

pressure that was adjusted to when 

the system was initialized.

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 
warning computer and the tire 

pressure warning system must 
be initialized. (

P.430)

When replacing the tires and 

wheels

If the ID code of the tire pressure 

warning valve and transmitter is not 

registered, the tire pressure warning 

system will not work properly. After 

driving for about 20 minutes, the tire 

pressure warning light blinks for 1 

minute and stays on to indicate a 

system malfunction.

NOTICE

To avoid damage to the tire 

pressure warning valves and 

transmitters (vehicles without 

spare tire)

When a tire is repaired with liquid 

sealants, the tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitter may not 

operate properly. If a liquid seal-

ant is used, contact your Toyota 

dealer as soon as possible. After 

use of liquid sealant, make sure to 

replace the tire pressure warning 

valve and transmitter when repair-

ing or replacing the tire. (

mately 10 to 30 minutes.

When initialization is complete, the 

inflation pressure of each tire will be 

displayed on the multi-information 

display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at 

approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or 

more, initialization can be com-

pleted by driving for a long time. 

However, if initialization does not 

complete after driving for 1 hour or 

more, park the vehicle in a safe 

place for approximately 20 minutes 

and then drive the vehicle again.

When initializing

Initialization is performed while 

driving at a vehicle speed of 

approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) 

or more.

Make sure to carry out initializa-

tion after adjusting the tire inflation 

pressure. Also, make sure the 

tires are cold before carrying out 

initialization or tire inflation pres-

sure adjustment.

The tire pressure warning system 

can be initialized by yourself, but 

depending on the driving condi-

tions and driving environment, ini-

tialization may take some time to 

complete.

The initialization operation

If you have accidentally turned the 

power switch to OFF during initial-

ization, it is not necessary to 

restart the initialization again as 

initialization will restart automati-

cally when the power switch has 

been turned to ON for the next 

time.

If you accidentally perform initial-

ization when initialization is not 

necessary, adjust the tire inflation 

pressure to the specified level 

when the tires are cold, and con-

duct initialization again.

While the position of each tire is 

being determined and the inflation 

pressures are not being displayed 

on the multi-information display, if 

the inflation pressure of a tire 

drops, the tire pressure warning 

light will come on.

If the tire pressure warning sys-

tem is not initialized properly

In the following situations, initial-

ization may take longer than usual 

to be completed or may not be 

possible. Normally, initialization 

completes within approximately 

30 minutes.

• Vehicle is not driven at approxi-

mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more

• Vehicle is driven on unpaved 

roads

• Vehicle is driven near other vehi-

cles and system cannot recog-

nize tire pressure warning valve 

and transmitters of your vehicle 

over those of other vehicles.

• If the vehicle is driven in heavy 

traffic or another situation where 

other vehicles are driven close by, 

it may take time for the system to 

recognize the tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitters of your 

vehicle over those of other vehi-

cles.

If initialization does not complete 

after driving for 1 hour or more, 

park the vehicle in a safe place for 

approximately 20 minutes and 

then drive the vehicle again.

If the vehicle is reversed during 

initialization, the data up to that 

point is reset, so perform the ini-

tialization procedure again from 

the beginning.

In the following situations, initial-

ization will not be started or was 

not completed properly and the 

system will not operate properly. 

Perform the initialization proce-

dure again.

• If, when attempting to start initial-

ization, the tire pressure warning 

light does not blink 3 times.

• If, when the vehicle has been 

driven for about 20 minutes after

pressure warning light blinks for 

approximately 1 minute and then 

illuminates.

If the inflation pressure of each tire 
is still not displayed, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

Every tire pressure warning 
valve and transmitter has a 
unique ID code. When replacing 
a tire pressure warning valve 
and transmitter, it is necessary 
to register the ID code.
When registering the ID codes, 
perform the following procedure.
