TRANSMITTER
The wireless remote control transmitter is
an electronic component. Observe the
fol-
lowing instructions in order not to cause
damage on the transmitter.

Do not leave the transmitter on the
places where the temperature becomes
high such as on the dashboard.

Do not disaassemble it.

Avoid knocking it hard against other ob-
jects or dropping it.

Avoid putting it in water.
You can use up to 2 wireless remote con-
trol transmitters for the same vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for detailed in-
formation.
If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not actuate the doors or trunk lid, or
operate from a normal distance:

Check for closeness to a radio transmit-
ter such as a radio station or an airport
which can interfer with normal operation
of the transmitter.

The batteries may have been con-
sumed. Check the batteries in the trans-
mitter. To replace the batteries, see Re-
placing transmitter batteries.º Replacing tranmsitter batteries
The expected life of your transmitter bat-
teries is about one year.
For replacement,
use DURACELL
[ DL2016 or equivalent.
a. Using a screwdriver, separate the two
halves of the transmitter with the transmit-
ter buttons facing down.
b. Remove and replace the transmitter
batteries.
If you touch a new battery with your fin-
gers, clean it with rubbing alcohol. Skin
oils may shorten the batteries' life.
c. Reassemble the transmitter case.
Make sure the gasket is properly installed.
After replacing batteries, check that the
transmitter operates properly. If the trans-
mitter still does not operate properly, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
If you lose your transmitter, contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to avoid
the possibility of theft, or an accident.

curely because it is not long enough, a
personalized seatbelt extender is avail-
able from your Toyota dealer free of

quired length for the extender. Bring the

er measurement and selection of length.

personal injury.

Never use the seat belt extender if
you can fasten the seat belt with-
out it.

Remember that the extender pro-
vided for your may not be safe
when used on a different vehicle,
or for another person or at a differ-
ent seating position than the one
originally intended for.
