When the rear window defogger switch
is on, the indicator illuminates on the
rear window defogger switch.
Vehicles with outside rear view
mirror defoggers
Defoggers are used to defog the
rear window, and to remove rain-
drops, dew and frost from the out-
side rear view mirrors.
Press the rear window and outside
rear view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically turn off
after a while.
When the rear window and outside rear
view mirror defoggers switch is on, the
indicator illuminates on the rear window
and outside rear view mirror defoggers
switch.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when
the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C” switch is on will dehu-midify the air from the outlets and
defog the windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” switch is off, the win-
dows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recir- culated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by
the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recom-mended that the air intake mode be set
to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in pre-venting dirty air from entering the
vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air tempera-ture is high.
●During cooling operation, setting the
recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.
■When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when “A/C” switch is pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condition-
ing system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside
and outside the vehicle may enter into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
●It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger
switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-ence between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■When the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are operating (if equipped)
Do not touch the outside rear view
mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.

6-1.Mainte nance a nd care
Working from top to bottom, lib-
erally 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 thor-
oughly with water.
Wipe away any water.
Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean sur-
face, apply wax when the vehicle body
is cool.
Vehicles with a canvas top:
Vacuuming of outer canvas before
washing is helpful in removing dust and
other foreign particles.
Follow the procedure shown below:
• Brush off any loose dirt and rinse off
with a hose.
• Using a sponge, wash with a mild
solution of soap (hand soap) in luke-
warm water.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove soap.
■Automatic car washes
●Vehicles with a canvas top: Do not use the automatic car washes.
●Before washing the vehicle:• Fold the mirrors.• Remove the pole antenna
Start washing from the front of the vehi-
cle. Extend the mirrors and pole
antenna before driving.
●Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle sur-
face, parts (wheel, etc.) and harm your vehicle’s paint.
■High pressure car washes
●Vehicles with a canvas top: Do not use the high pressure car washes.
●As water may enter the cabin, do not bring the nozzle tip near the gaps around the doors or perimeter of the
windows, or spray these areas contin- uously.
■When using a car wash (vehicles with smart entry & start system)
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, follow the fol- lowing correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.)
or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is
not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-sav-
ing mode to disable the smart entry & start system. ( P.103)

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Check the battery as follows.
■Battery exterior
Make sure that the battery termi-
nals are not corroded and that there
are no loose connections, cracks,
or loose clamps.
Terminals
Hold-down clamp
■Checking battery fluid
Check that the level is between the
“Upper line” and “Lower line” lines.
“Upper line”
“Lower line”
Add distilled water before the fluid level
drops below the “Lower line”.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Therefore, observe the fol-lowing precautions before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery 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 battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the
battery (vehicles with smart entry & start system)
●Unlocking the doors using the smart entry & start system may not be possi-ble immediately after reconnecting the
battery. If this happens, use the wire- less remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine switch in ACC. The engine may not
start with the engine switch turned off. However, the engine will operate nor-mally from the second attempt.
●The engine switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the battery is recon-
nected, the vehicle will return the engine switch mode to the status it was in before the battery was discon-
nected. Make sure to turn off the engine before disconnecting the bat-
tery. Take extra care when connecting the battery if the engine switch mode prior to discharge is unknown.
If the system will not start even after
multiple attempts, contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

molded into the sidewall of each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear indi-
cators are showing on a tire.
■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 inter- nal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■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.
■Low profile tires (18-inch tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear
more rapidly and tire grip performance will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires.
Be sure to use snow tires on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather
conditions.
■If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow
tires is lost.
■Checking the tire valves
When replacing the tires, check the tire
valves for deformation, cracks, and other damage.
WARNING
■When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.Failure to do so may cause damage
to parts of the drive train as well as dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Do not mix tires of different makes,
models or tread patterns. Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
●Do not mix differently constructed 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 previously.
NOTICE
■Low profile tires (18-inch tires)
Low profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the tire wheel when sustaining impact from the road
surface. Therefore, pay attention to the following:
●Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they may be damaged more
severely.
●Avoid potholes, uneven pavement,
curbs and other road hazards. Fail- ure to do so may lead to severe tire and wheel damage.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
■Starting the engine when the bat- tery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push- starting.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is stopped.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-ning at a low speed for an extended
period, such as in heavy traffic.
■When the battery is removed or dis- charged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared. When the battery is depleted, have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Some systems may require initializa-tion. ( P.361)
■When removing the battery termi-
nals
When the battery terminals are removed, the information stored in the
ECU is cleared. Before removing the battery terminals, contact any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will
discharge gradually even when the vehi- cle is not in use, due to natural dis-charge and the draining effects of
certain electrical appliances. If the vehi- cle is left for a long time, the battery may discharge, and the engine may be
unable to start. (The battery recharges automatically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the battery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the battery is discharged. 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 the battery has
recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a mal-function.
●The engine switch mode is memo-rized by the vehicle. When the battery
is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the bat-tery was discharged. Before discon-
necting the battery, turn the engine switch off.If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch was in before the bat- tery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.
●The Stop & Start system may not automatically stop the engine for up to
an hour.
■When replacing the battery
●Use a genuine battery specifically
designed for use with the Stop & Start system or a battery with equivalent specifications to a genuine battery. If
an unsupported battery is used, Stop & Start system functions may be restricted to protect the battery. Also,
battery performance may decrease and the engine may not be able to restart. Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.
●Use a battery that conforms to Euro-pean regulations.
●Use a battery that the case size is same as the previous one, 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent or
greater, and performance rating (CCA) is equivalent or greater. Check the label on top of the battery for the
battery size and specifications (ex. LN2, 60Ah, 584A).• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot
be properly secured. • If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the bat- tery may discharge and the engine may not be able to start.
