■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
● To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning 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.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• For some models: The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a
short period of time immediately after the air conditioning system is
started in automatic mode.
■ Air conditioning system operations when the engine is stopped due to
the Stop & Start system (vehicles with Stop & Start system)
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operations, the
automatic air conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification functions
turn off and the fan speed is decreased according to the outside tempera-
ture etc. or air blowing stops. To stop the air conditioning system from turn-
ing off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch and refrain from using the Stop
& Start system.
■ An odor comes from the air conditioning system due to the Stop & Start
system operation (vehicles with Stop & Start system)
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operations, an odor
caused by moisture may be detected. This does not indicate a malfunction.

NOTICE
● To avoid damaging the power outlets, close the power outlet lid when the
power outlet is not in use.
Foreign objects or liquids that enter the power outlet may cause a short
circuit.
● To prevent blown fuse:
12 V DC
Do not use an accessory that uses more than 12 V 10 A.
220 V AC
Do not use a 220 V AC appliance that requires more than 100 W.
If a 220 V AC appliance that consumes more than 100 W is used, the pro-
tection circuit will cut the power supply.
● To prevent battery discharge, do not use the power outlet longer than nec-
essary when the engine is not running.
● The following 220 V AC appliances may not operate properly even if their
power consumption is under 100 W:
• Appliances with high initial peak wattage
• Measuring devices that process precise data
• Other appliances that require an extremely stable power supply

When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles with-
out smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with
smart entry & start system), the red indicator light will illuminate for 10
seconds and then the green indicator light will illuminate, indicating

● If the red indicator light illuminates at any time other than immedi-
ately after the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles
without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehi-
cles with smart entry & start system), the system may be malfunc-
tioning or the backup battery may be depleted.
● If the red indicator light blinks for approximately 30 seconds during
an Emergency Call, the call has been disconnected or the cellular
network signal is weak.
The service life of the backup battery does not exceed 3 years.
A test mode is provided for to check the performance of the Emer-
gency Call system. To test the device, contact any authorized Toyota

● Used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may
cause skin disorders such as inflammation and skin cancer, so care
should be taken to avoid prolonged and repeated contact. To remove used
engine oil from your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
● Dispose of used oil and filters only in a safe and acceptable manner. Do
not dispose of used oil and filters in household trash, in sewers or onto the
ground. Call any authorized Toyota reta iler or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer, service station or auto parts store for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
● Do not leave used engine oil within the reach of children.

■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Therefore, observe the following 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 dis-
connecting the charger cables to the battery.
■ After recharging/reconnecting the battery (vehicles with smart entry &
start system)
The engine may not start. Follow the procedure below to initialize the system.
Shift the shift lever to P (automat ic transmission) or depress the brake
pedal with the shift lever in N (manual transmission).
Open and close any of the doors.
Restart the engine.
● 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 ACCESSORY mode. The engine
may not start with the engine switch turned off. However, the engine will
operate normally 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 disconnected. Make sure to turn off the engine
before disconnect the battery. 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 authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ If a symbol of a battery is shown on the multi-information display (if
equipped)
There is a malfunction in the vehicle’s charging system.
Immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repai rer, or any reliable repairer. Continu-
ing to drive the vehicle may be dangerous.

Maintenance and care
You may drain the fuel filter yourself. However, as the operation is dif-
ficult, we recommend having it drained by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Even if
you decide to drain it yourself, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The water in the fuel filter needs to be drained if one of the following
symptoms occurs:
Vehicles without multi-information display
When the fuel system warning light flashes and a buzzer sounds.
( P. 604)
Vehicles with multi-information display
When “WATER ACCUMULATION IN FUEL FILTER SEE
OWNER’S MANUAL”/“Water accumulation in fuel filter See owner’s
manual” is shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer
sounds*1.
Vehicles without smart entry & start system: Turn the engine switch
to the “LOCK” position.
Vehicles with smart entry & start system: Turn the engine switch off.
For EURO VI models*3:
Remove the fuel filter from the
bracket as shown in the illustra-
tion.
Place a small tray under the drain plug or drain hose to catch the
water and any fuel that comes out.

Maintenance and care
AdBlue™ is used to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides in exhaust
gas. AdBlue™ is consumed in the process of driving. Therefore,
observe the following precautions.
● 1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 Imp.qt.) of AdBlue™ is consumed every 1500 km
(932 miles). Normally, after a full refill, the vehicle can be driven for
approximately 15000 km (9321 miles) before all AdBlue™ is
depleted.
However, AdBlue™ may become completely depleted sooner
depending on driving conditions.
● When the possible driving range based on the remaining amount of
AdBlue™ reaches approximately 2400 km (1492 miles), the low
AdBlue™ level warning light turns on and a warning message is
displayed.
● When AdBlue™ is depleted, the engine cannot be restarted.
● If AdBlue™ is accidentally spilled while refilling, vehicle parts, paint,
etc. may be damaged.
When AdBlue™ needs to be refilled, have it refilled at any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
It may be a criminal offence to use a vehicle that does not consume
any reagent if it is required for the reduction of emissions.
■AdBlue™ warning light and warning message
When the AdBlue™ level is low,
the low AdBlue™ level warning
light turns on and a warning
message appears on the multi-
information display. ( P. 554)
When refilling AdBlue™ by
yourself in an emergency, be
sure to follow the correct refill-
ing procedures. ( P. 555)
AdBlue™ (if equipped)
