If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not actuate the doors, back window
or alarm, operate from a normal distance:

mitter such as a radio station or an
airport which can interfere with normal
operation of the transmitter.
The battery may have been consumed.
Check the battery in the transmitter. To
replace the battery, see following
“REPLACING THE BATTERY”.
If you lose your transmitter, contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
avoid the possibility of theft, or an acci-
dent. (See “If you lose your wireless re-
mote control transmitter” on page 336 in
Section 4.) For vehicles sold in U.S.A.

OPERATING FROM OUTSIDE
The back window can be opened and
closed with the key operation in the back
door keyhole.
To open: Turn the key fully counterclock-
wise and hold it.
After the door is unlocked, the window
begins to open. To stop the window part-
way, release the key.
To close: Turn the key fully clockwise and
hold it.
After the door is locked, the window be-
gins to close. To stop the window partway,
release the key.
This door key linked function can be dis-
abled. For details, contact your Toyota
dealer.
Jam protection function: During closing
operation, the window stops and opens
half way if something gets caught between
the window and window frame.
If the window receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught.CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power back
window, always make sure there is
nobody around the power back win-
dow. You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in a serious injury.
When anyone closes the power
back window, make sure he or she
operates the window safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
back window switch without super-
vision. Use the window lock switch
to prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switch.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power back window switch
and get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
Keep the back window closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.
To open the back window with the wire-
less remote control transmitter, see
“—Wireless remote control” on page 19 in
this Section.
