The system will automatically be set after
30 seconds. When the system is set, the
indicator light will start flashing again.
4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system, because unlocking
from the inside will activate the system.
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET
Activating the system
The system will give the alarm under the
following conditions: If any of the side doors is unlocked or
opened without the key or wireless re-
mote control key, or if the back door
or hood is forcibly opened
If the battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected
The indicator light will come on when the
system is activating. If any of the side door or back door is
unlocked without the key or wireless re-
mote control key and the key is not in the
ignition switch, all the side doors and
back door will be automatically locked
again.
After one minute, the alarm will automati-
cally stop and the indicator light will starts
flashing again.
Reactivating the alarm
Once set, the system automatically resets
the alarm after the alarm stops.
The alarm will activate again under the
same circumstances described in
”Activating the system”.
Stopping the alarm
The alarm will be stopped by the following
two ways:
Turn the ignition key from the ”LOCK”
to ”ON” position.
Unlock any of the side doors or back
door with the key or wireless remote
control key.
These ways cancel the system at the
same time. TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described above. The side doors and back door should
be locked with the key or wireless re-
mote control key. Be sure to wait until
the indicator light goes off or starts
flashing.
3. Unlock any side door or back door from the inside. The system should ac-
tivate the alarm.
4. Stopping the alarm as described above.
5. Repeat this operation for the other doors, back door and hood. When test-
ing on the hood, also check that the
system is activated when the battery
terminal is disconnected and then re-
connected.
If the system does not work properly,
have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

Electric moon roof
Sliding operation
Tilting operation To operate the moon roof, use the
switches beside the personal light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the ”ON” position. However,
if both front doors are closed, it works for
45 seconds even after the ignition switch
is turned off. It stops working when any
of the side doors or back door is opened.
Sun shade operation—
The sun shade can be opened or closed
by hand.
Sliding operation—
To open: Push the switch on the rear
side.
The roof will open and stop partway 35
mm (1.4 in.) from the fully opened posi-
tion. When you push the switch again, the
moon roof will open fully. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or tilt
switch while the roof is moving.
As driving with the moon roof opened fully
will cause wind throbs, we recommend
you to drive with the moon roof partway
35 mm (1.4 in.) from the fully opened
position.
The sun shade will be opened together
with the roof.
To close: Push the switch on the front
side.

The roof will fully close. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or tilt
switch.
Tilting operation—
To tilt up: Push the switch on the ”UP”
side.
The roof will tilt up fully. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or slide
switch.
To lower: Push the switch on the opposite
side of the ”UP” side.
The roof will fully close. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or slide
switch.
Jam protection function (closing opera-
tion only):
During closing operation, the
moon roof stops and opens halfway if
something gets caught between the moon
roof and frame.
If an impact is given to the moon roof,
this function may work without anything
caught.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following. While the vehicle is moving, al-
ways keep the heads, hands and
other parts of the bodies of all
occupants away from the roof
opening. Otherwise, they could
be seriously injured if the vehicle
stops suddenly or if the vehicle
is involved in an accident.
Always make sure nobody places
his/her head, hands and other
parts of the body in the roof
opening before you close the
roof. If someone’s neck, head or
hands gets caught in the closing
roof, it could result in a serious
injury. When anyone closes the
roof, first make sure it is safe to
do so.
Never leave small children alone
in the vehicle, especially with the
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the moon roof
switches and get trapped in the
roof opening. Unattended chil-
dren can be involved in serious
accidents.

Your automatic transmission has a shift
lock system to minimize the possibility of
incorrect operation. This means you can
only shift out of ”P” position when the
brake pedal is depressed (with the ignition
switch in ”ON” position and the lock re-
lease button depressed).
(a) Overdrive switch
You can select either third gear (with
overdrive off) or fourth gear (with over-
drive on) by pushing this switch.
To turn the overdrive off, push the switch.
The ”O/D OFF” indicator light should come
on. To turn the overdrive on again, push
the switch again. The ”O/D OFF” indicator
light should go off.
Always drive your vehicle with the over-
drive on for better fuel economy and
quieter driving.
If the engine is turned off when the over-
drive is off and restarted, the overdrive
will automatically be on.
When the cruise control is being used,
even if you downshift the transmission by
pushing and releasing the overdrive
switch, engine braking will not be enabled
because the cruise control is not can-
celled.
For ways to decrease the vehicle speed,
see ”Cruise control” in this section.
(b) Normal driving
1. Start the engine as instructed in ”How to start the engine” in Section 3. The
transmission must be in ”P” or ”N”.
2. With your foot holding down the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to ”D”.
When the lever is in the ”D” position, the
automatic transmission system will select
the most suitable gear for running condi-
tions such as normal cruising, hill climb-
ing, hard towing, etc.
Always turn the overdrive switch on for
better fuel economy and quieter driving. If
the engine coolant temperature is low, the
transmission will not shift into the over-
drive gear even with the overdrive switch on.

Active traction control system indicator
light
The active traction control system auto-
matically helps control the spinning of
4 wheels which may occur when accel-
erating on slippery road surfaces, by
controlling the output of the brake and
engine. Thus, the system assists driver
to control the driving power of 4
wheels. When you turn the ignition
switch on, the active traction control
system always turns on automatically,
and the active traction control indicator
light will come on. The indicator light
will go off after a few seconds. When active traction control is applied,
the active traction control system indi-
cator light blinks.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
is started. This means that the active
traction control system is in the self
−
check mode, and does not indicate mal-
function. When the active traction control
system is operating, you may feel vibra-
tion or noise of your vehicle, caused by
operation of the brakes. This indicates the
system is functioning properly.
When getting the vehicle out of mud or
new snow, etc. the active traction control
system will help operate to prevent the
wheels from spinning.Active traction control system failure
warning
This light warns when there is a problem
somewhere in the active traction control
system.
If the “VSC/TRAC” warning light comes
on, have your vehicle checked by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

The brake actuator temperature increases
during the active traction control system
or vehicle stability control system operat-
ing. If the brake actuator temperature be-
comes too high while the active traction
control system or vehicle stability control
system is operating, a buzzer will start to
sound intermittently to indicate that the
active traction control system can no lon-
ger operate. In this case, immediately stop
your vehicle at a safe place. If the system
continues to operate, the buzzer sound
changes from intermittent to continuous.
(The continuous buzzer sounds for about
3 seconds.) At the time, the “VSC/TRAC”
warning light will come on and the traction
control system temporarily stops operating
in order to protect the brake actuator. (Al-
though the active traction control system
does not operate, there is no problem to
continue your driving.) The system will be
automatically restored after a short time
and “VSC/TRAC” warning light goes off if
the accelerator pedal is released.
When the “ABS” warning light come on,
the active traction control system is not
operating.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light will come
on when the ignition key is turned “ON”,
and will go off after a few seconds.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light may stay
on for 60 seconds after the ignition key
is turned to “ON” position. It is normal if
it goes off after a few seconds.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the “VSC/TRAC” warning
light. It is normal if it goes off after a few
seconds.
When the “VSC/TRAC” warning light
comes on the active traction control sys-
tem is not operating, but there is no prob-
lem if you continue to drive.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light does not
come on after the ignition key is turned
“ON”.
The “VSC/TRAC” remains on after the
ignition key is turned “ON”.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicles and
power to 4 wheels may not be main-
tained, even though the active trac-
tion control system is in operation.
Do not drive the vehicle under any
speed or maneuvering conditions
which will cause the vehicle to lose
traction. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the road conditions pres-
ent.

The vehicle skid control system helps
provide comprehensive control of sys-
tems such as anti −lock brake, traction
control, engine control, etc. This sys-
tem automatically controls the output of
the brakes or engine to help prevent
the vehicle from skidding under adverse
conditions.
When you turn the ignition switch on, the
slip indicator light will come on. The slip
indicator light will go off after a few sec-
onds. If the vehicle is going to skid during driv-
ing, the slip indicator light flashes and an
alarm sounds intermittently.
The vehicle skid control system activates
when the vehicle speed is more than the
following speed. Four

is started. This means that the vehicle
skid control is in the self −check mode and
does not indicate a malfunction.Pushing the center differential lock button
automatically turns the vehicle skid control
system off. At this time, the “VSC OFF”
indicator comes on with the center differ-
ential lock indicator light. (For details, see
“Four −wheel drive system—(a)Four −wheel
drive control” in this section.)
