ing the doors using the entry function or wireless remote control will re-
enable the intrusion sensor.

Intrusion sensor detection considerations

The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:

• The movement of people outside the vehicle

●

People or pets are in the vehicle.

●

A side window or moon roof (if
equipped) is open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the
following:
• Wind or the movement of objects

such as leaves and insects inside the
vehicle

• Ultrasonic waves emitted from

devices such as the intrusion sensors
of other vehicles

●

Unstable items, such as dangling acces-
sories or clothes hanging on the coat
hooks, are in the vehicle.

1-5. Theft deterrent system

●

The vehicle is inside an automatic or high-pressure car wash.

●

The vehicle experiences impacts, such as hail, lightning strikes, and other
kinds of repeated impacts or vibrations.

●

The vehicle is parked in a place where
extreme vibrations or noises occur, such
as in a parking garage.

●

Ice or snow is removed from the vehicle,
causing the vehicle to receive repeated
impacts or vibrations.

NOTICE

■

To ensure the intrusion sensor functions correctly

●

Installing accessories other than genuine Toyota parts or leaving objects
between the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the
detection performance.

●

To ensure that the sensors operate
properly, do not touch or cover them.

●

Do not spray air fresheners or other
products directly into the sensor holes.

Caution for use while driving

For safety, avoid operating the meter control switch 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 switch. Failure
to do so may cause a steering wheel operation error, resulting in an unex-
pected accident.

NOTICE

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

Do not place anything or attach a sticker
in front of the instrument cluster. The item
may obscure or obstruct the display, or
