During programming, it is pos-
sible that garage doors,
gates, or other devices may
operate. For this reason,
make sure that people and
objects are clear of the
garage door or other devices
to prevent injury or other
potential harm.
 It is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the
remote control transmitter for
more accurate programming.
 Garage door opener motors
manufactured after 1995 may
be equipped with rolling code protection. If this is the case,
you may need a stepladder or
other sturdy, safe device to
reach the “Learn” or “Smart”
button on the garage door
opener motor.

battery being disconnected is
unknown.
If the system will not start even after
multiple attempts, contact your Toy-

first attempt after the battery has
recharged but will start normally
after the se cond attempt. This is
not a malfunction.

Use a genuine battery specifically
designed for use with the Stop &
Start system or a battery with
equivalent specifications to a gen-
uine battery. If an unsupported
battery is used, Stop & Start sys-
tem functions may be restricted to
protect the battery.
Also, battery per formance may
decrease and the engine may not
be able to restart. Contact your
Toyota dealer for details.
●Vehicles without Stop & Start sys-
tem: Use a battery that the case
size is same as the previous one
(LN3), 20 hour rate capacity
(20HR) is equivalent (70Ah) or
greater, and per formance rating
(CCA) is equivalent (603A) or
greater.
Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN3), 20
hour rate capacity (20HR) is equiva-
lent (65Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(603A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery can- not be properly secured.
