■Brake fluid can absorb moisture
from the air
Excess moisture in the brake fluid
can cause a dangerous loss of brak-
ing efficiency. Use only newly
opened brake fluid.
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.

■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery pro-
duces hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore,
observe the following precautions
before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery
installed on the vehicle, be sure to
disconnect the ground cable.
●Make sure the charger is off when
connecting and disconnecting the
charger cables to the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting
the battery
●Unlocking the doors using the
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately after reconnect-
ing the battery. If this happens,
use the wireless 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 normally from the sec-
ond attempt.
●The engine switch mode is
recorded by the vehicle. If the bat-
tery is reconnected, the vehicle
will return the engi ne switch mode
to the status it was in before the
battery was disconnected. Make
sure to turn off the engine before
disconnecting the battery. Take extra care when connecting the
battery if the engine switch mode
prior to discharge is unknown.
If the system will no t start even after
multiple attempts, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
WARNING
■Chemicals in the battery
The battery contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid and
may produce hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. To
reduce the risk of death or serious
injury, take the following precau-
tions while working on or near the
battery:
●Do not cause sparks by touch-
ing the battery terminals with
tools.
●Do not smoke or light a match
near the battery.

Maintenance and care
Front
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after tire rota-
tion.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters to detect
low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below
a predetermined level, the driver
is warned by a warning light.
( P.476)
■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system
does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks. Make sure to
check tire inflation pressure as part
of your routine of daily vehicle
checks.
■Situations in which the tire
pressure warning system may
not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire
pressure warning system may not
operate properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original
Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-sup ported run-flat tire
is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the
radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the speci-
fied level.
• If tires not equipped with tire pres- sure warning valv es and transmit-
ters are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure
warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in
the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power
plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airport or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio
waves or electrical noise.
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or
other wireless communication
device.
●When the vehicle is parked, the
time taken for the warning to start
or go off could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure
declines rapidly for example when
a tire has burst, the warning may
not function.

Maintenance and care
For vehicles sold in Canada
When replacing tires or wheels,
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be
installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must
be initialized. Have tire pressure
warning valves and transmitter
ID codes registered by your Toy-
ota dealer. ( P.449)
■Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not
registered, the tire pressure warning
system will not work properly. After
driving for about 20 minutes, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for 1
minute and stays on to indicate a
system malfunction.

NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires,
wheels, tire pressure warn-
ing valves, transmitters and
tire valve caps
●When removing or fitting the
wheels, tires or the tire pressure
warning valves and transmit-
ters, contact your Toyota dealer
as the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters may be
damaged if not handled cor-
rectly.

Maintenance and care
sure warning light blinks 3
times.
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to carry out initializa-
tion after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold
before carrying ou t initialization or
tire inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch off during initializa-
tion, it is not necessary to press
the reset switch again as initializa-
tion will restart aut omatically when
the engine switch to ON for the
next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset
switch when initialization is not
necessary, adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the specified level
when the tires are cold, and con-
duct initialization again.
■When initialization of the tire
pressure warning system has
failed
Initialization can be completed in a
few minutes. However, in the follow-
ing cases, the settings have not
been recorded and the system will
not operate properly. If repeated
attempts to record tire inflation pres-
sure settings are unsuccessful,
have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
●When operating the tire pressure
warning reset switch , the tire pres-
sure warning light does not blink 3
times.
●After driving for a certain period of
time since the initialization has
been completed, the warning light
comes on after blinking for 1 min-
ute.
The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter is equipped with
a unique ID code. When replac-
ing a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code. Have the
ID code registered by your Toy-
ota dealer.
Your vehicle is equipped with
tire pressure warning system
with the function to have ID
codes registered for a second
wheel set, for example a winter
set, by Toyota dealer.
After registration of a second
wheel set, either of these two
wheel sets can be selected for
usage with the tire pressure
warning system.
WARNING
■When initializing the tire pres-
sure warning system
Do not operate the tire pressure
warning reset switch without first
adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified level. Other-
wise, the tire pressure warning
light may not come on even if the
tire inflation pressure is low, or it
may come on when the tire infla-
tion pressure is actually normal.

●Always use a genuine Toyota
fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a
wire, even as a temporary fix.
●Do not modify the fuses or fuse
boxes.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical over-
load determined and repaired by
your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
