Notes for locking the doors
Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent
lock operation. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
Vehicles without a double locking system: When the lock operation is
performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be shown up to
two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will be given.
If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the
alarm, lock all the doors.
The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again.
Notes for the unlocking function
A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the
original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door
handle again.
Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
Remove the gloves and touch the sensor on the back of the handle
again.
If the door handle becomes wet when washing the vehicle while the elec-
tronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock
repeatedly. In this case, place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or
more away from the vehicle (take care to ensure that the key is not sto-
len), and continue to wash the vehicle.
If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

CAUTION
Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.
When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the trunk
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly
shut again after it is opened.
The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid on an
incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the trunk lid unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make
sure that the trunk lid is fully open
and secure before using the trunk.
When closing the trunk lid, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
When closing the trunk lid, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface.

When the power window does not close normally
If the jam protection function is operating abnormally and a window cannot
be closed, close all the doors and perform the following operations using the
power window switch on the relevant door.
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: After stopping the
vehicle, the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: After stopping the vehi-
cle, the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON
mode.
Hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing position two
consecutive times.
Hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing position
once again and continue holding for 1 second or more after the win-
dow closes completely.
If you push the power window switch to the opening position while the win-
dow is moving, start again from the beginning. If the window continues to
close but then re-open slightly even after performing the above procedure
correctly, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
CAUTION
Closing the windows
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their body
in a position where it could be caught when a window is being operated.
Do not allow children to operate the power windows.
Closing a power window on someone can cause death or serious injury.
The driver is responsible for instructing children not to operate the power
windows.
Jam protection function
Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection
function.
The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the window fully closes.

Before driving
FT86_EE
CAUTION
When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
Do not top off the fuel tank.
Observe other precautions that are posted at the service station.
Turn the cap to the right until it clicks to ensure that it is fully tightened. If
the cap is not securely tightened, fuel spillage could occur in the event of
an accident, creating a fire hazard.
When replacing the fuel cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle's painted surface.
Never add any cleaning agents to the fuel tank. The addition of a cleaning
agent may cause damage to the fuel system.
Immediately put fuel in the tank whenever the low fuel warning light illumi-
nates. Engine misfires as a result of an empty tank could cause damage to
the engine.

1-6. Theft deterrent system
Engine immobilizer system
The vehicle's keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent the
engine from starting if the key has not been previously registered in
the vehicle's on-board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not
guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts.
Vehicles without a smart
entry & start system
The indicator light flashes after
the key has been removed
from the engine switch to indi-
cate that the system is operat-
ing.
The indicator light stops flash-
ing after the registered key
has been inserted into the
engine switch to indicate that
the system has been can-
celed.
