Before Driving
Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WARNING
■Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the v ehicle
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monox ide
(CO), which is colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When inhaled , it can
cause loss of consciousness and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the
vehicle, keep all windows fully open and contact your Toyota de aler immedi-
ately.
■ Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, i s danger-
ous. Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, cou ld easily
enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occu r.
■ Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a long time even in an open a rea,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could en ter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
■ Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularl y the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is da ngerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monox-
ide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to occu pants in the
cabin.

● The cooling fan in the engine compartment could turn on for a f ew minutes
after the ignition is switched from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C is on or
off, to cool the engine compartment quickly.
● When the push button start is pressed from ON to ACC or OFF, th e KEY
indicator light (green) may flash for approximately 30 seconds indicating
that the remaining battery power of the key is low.
Replace with a new battery before the key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on P. 410.

driven will turn the engine off immediately. The ignition switc hes to
ACC.
WARNING
■ Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is moving for any reason other than in
an emergency is dangerous. Stopping the engine while the vehicl e is mov-
ing will result in reduced braking ability due to the loss of power braking,
which could cause an accident and serious injury.
NOTICE
When leaving the vehicle, make sure the push button start is off.

4-1. Climate Control System
Operating Tips
• Operate the climate control system with the engine running.
• To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the fan
control dial on for a long perio d of time with the ignition switched
ON when the engine is not running.
• Clear all obstructions such as l eaves, snow and ice from the hood
and the air inlet in t he cowl grille to imp rove the system efficiency.
• Use the climate control system to defog the windows and dehumi d-
ify the air.
• The recirculate mode should be used when driving through tunne ls
or while in a traffic jam, or when you would like to shut off o utside
air for quick cooling of the interior.
• Use the outside air position for ventilation or windshield defrosting.
• If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows to let warm air escape, then run the climate con-
trol system.
• Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
• Have the air conditioner checke d before the weather gets hot. Lack
of refrigerant may make the ai r conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications
are indicated on a label
attached to the inside of the
engine compartment. Check
the label before refilling the
refrigerant. If the wrong type of
refrigerant is used, it could
result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
For details, consult your Toyota
dealer.

nated or flashing ( P. 164).
The air conditioner may cause engine overheating. If the warnin g light is
illuminated or flashing, turn the air-conditioning off ( P. 484).

Maintenance and Care
WARNING
■Do not perform maintenance work if you lack sufficient knowledge and
experience or the proper tools an d equipment to do the work. Have
maintenance work done by a qualified technician
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not do ne prop-
erly. You can be seriously injured while performing some mainte nance pro-
cedures.
■ If you must run the engine while working under the hood, make c ertain
that you remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watch es, and
necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and similar loose clothin g before
getting near the engine or cooling fan which may turn on unexpe ctedly
Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes
even more dangerous when you wear jewelry, loose clothing or ha ve long
hair or a long beard.
Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injur y.
■ Switch the ignition to off and make sure the fan is not runnin g
before attempting to work near the cooling fan
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. T he fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped an d the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan an d seriously
injured.
■ Do not leave items in the engine compartment
After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engi ne compart-
ment, do not forget and leave items such as tools or rags in th e engine com-
partment.
Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine
damage or a fire leading to an unexpected accident.

Engine Coolant
Inspect the antifreeze protection and coolant level in the cool ant res-
ervoir at least once a year—at the beginning of the winter seas on—
and before traveling where temperatures may drop below freezing .
Inspect the condition and connec tions of all cooling system and
heater hoses.
Replace any that are sw ollen or deteriorated.
The coolant should be at full in the
radiator and between the F and L
marks on the coolant reservoir
when the engine is cool. Cooling fan
Cooling system cap
Coolant reservoir
If it is at or near L, add enough coolant to the coolant reserv oir to pro-
vide freezing and corrosion prote ction and to bring the level to F.
Securely tighten the coolant re servoir tank cap after adding co olant.
If the coolant reservoir is empty or new coolant is required frequently,
consult your Toyota dealer.
Changing the coolant should be done by your Toyota dealer.

Maintenance and Care
WARNING
■Do not use a match or live flame in the engine compartment. DO NOT
ADD COOLANT WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT
A hot engine is dangerous. If the engine has been running, part s of the
engine compartment can become very hot. You could be burned. Ca refully
inspect the engine coolant in the coolant reservoir, but do not open it.
■ Pull over to a safe location, then switch the ignition to off and
make sure the fan is not running before attempting to work near the
cooling fan
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. T he fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped an d the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan an d seriously
injured.
■ Do not remove either cooling system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot
When the engine and radiator are hot, scalding coolant and steam may
shoot out under pressure and cause serious injury.
