Your vehicle has a wireless remote
control system that can lock or unlock
all the side doors and back door from a
distance within approximately 1 m (3
ft.) of the vehicle.
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE SIDE
DOORS AND BACK DOOR
To lock and unlock all the side doors
and back door, push the switches slow-
ly and securely. At this time, the indica-
tor light on the key grip flashes once.
To lock: Push the ”LOCK” switch. All the
side doors and back door are locked si-
multaneously. At this time, parking lights
and tail lights flash once.
Check to see that all the side doors and
back door are securely locked.
If any of the side doors or back door is
not securely closed, or if the key is in the
ignition switch, locking cannot be per-
formed by the ”LOCK” switch.
To unlock: Push the ”UNLOCK” switch
once to unlock the driver ’s door alone.
Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds
unlocks all the side doors and back door
simultaneously. At this time, parking lights
and tail lights flash twice.
Together with the activation of unlocking,
the interior light comes on for 15 seconds
if the interior light switch is in “DOOR”
position. However, this function does not
work when the ignition key is in the “ON”
position. (For detailed information, see “In-
terior light” in Section 1
−4.)
You have 30 seconds to open a door after
using the wireless remote unlock feature.
If a door is not opened by then, all the
side doors and back door will be automati-
cally locked again.
If the ”LOCK” or ”UNLOCK” switch is kept
pressed in, the locking or unlocking opera-
tion is not repeated. Release the button
and then push again.
”PANIC” SWITCH
Pushing the ”PANIC” switch for 1 sec-
ond blows the horn intermittently and
flashes the headlights and tail lights.
The ”PANIC” switch is used to deter ve-
hicle theft when you witness anyone at-
tempting to break into or damage your
vehicle.
The alarm will last for 1 minute. To stop
the alarm midway, push the ”PANIC” or
”UNLOCK” switch, or unlock any side door
or back door with key. You can also stop
the alarm by turning the ignition key from
”LOCK” to the ”ON” position.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING FROM IN-
SIDE
To lock: Push the knob.
To unlock: Pull the knob.
Operating the power door lock switch si-
multaneously locks or unlocks the back
door. (See ”Side doors” in this section.)Push the handle and push down the
lower side of the back door.
When closing the back door, make sure
it is fully closed.
See ”Luggage stowage precautions” in
Section 2 for precautions in loading lug-gage.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out
but also prevents exhaust gases
from entering the vehicle.
If the open back door hides the
stop and tail lights, rear turn sig-
nal lights or rear retro reflectors
while you are parked, other road
users must be warned of the
presence of your vehicle by a
warning triangle or other device.

2. In front of the vehicle, pull up the auxiliary catch l ever and lift the
hood.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. Then lower the hood and make sure
it locks into place. If necessary, press
down gently on the front edge to lock it. Theft deterrent systemTo deter the vehicle theft, the system
is designed to give an alarm if any of
the side doors, back door or hood is
forcibly unlocked or opened or the bat-
tery terminal is disconnected and then
reconnected when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights and tail lights.SETTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the ignition key to the ”LOCK” position and remove it.
The indicator light will start flashing when
the key is removed from the ignition
switch. (See ”Engine immobiliser system”
for details.)
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close and lock all the side doors, back door and hood.
The indicator light will come on when all
the side doors, back door and hood are
closed and locked.

Use the center differential lock system if
your wheels get stuck in a ditch, or when
you are driving on a slippery or bumpy
surface. When the center differential is
locked, the vehicle skid control system is
automatically turned off and the center dif-
ferential lock and “VSC OFF” indicator
lights come on because the function that
controls engine performance interferes
with the process of freeing your wheels.
NOTICE
As soon as the center differential lock
switch is turned on, the “VSC OFF”
indicator light comes on. After the
wheels are out of the ditch or off the
slippery or bumpy surface, turn the
center differential lock switch off.
Make sure the center differential lock
indicator light and vehicle skid con-
trol system off indicator light turn off.
“H” (high speed position, center differ-
ential unlocked):
Lever at “H”, center dif-
ferential lock button left out
Use this for normal driving on all types of
roads, from dry hard −surfaced roads to
wet, icy or snow −covered roads. This
position gives greater economy, quietest
ride, least wear and better vehicle control. “H” (high speed position, center differ-
ential locked):
Lever at “H”, center differ-
ential lock button pushed in
Use this for greater traction when you
experience a loss of power, such as
wheel slipping, in the center differential
unlock mode.
“N” (neutral position): Lever at “N”
No power is delivered to the wheels. The
vehicle must be stopped.
“L” (low speed position, center differen-
tial unlocked): Lever at “L”, center differ-
ential lock button left out
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for climbing or descending steep
hills, off −road driving, and hard pulling in
sand or mud.
In this mode, the braking feeling that oc-
curs when the wheels are negotiating a
sharp corner is further reduced than in the
“L” (low position, center differential locked)
mode. “L” (low speed position, center differen-
tial locked):
Lever at “L”, center differen-
tial lock button pushed in.
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for hard pulling in situations the
vehicle cannot negotiate even in the “L”
(low speed position, center differential un −
locked) mode. Also, using this mode when
driving down steep off −road inclines will
help contribute to increased vehicle stabil-
ity.
The indicator light tells when the differen-
tial lock is engaged. Note that the differ-
ential is not still locked as long as the
indicator light remains off.
If the indicator light does not go off when
you push out the center differential lock
button, drive straight ahead while acceler-
ating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
See “(b) Shifting procedure” for further in-
structions.

Vehicle skid control system failure
warning
These lights warn when there is a prob-
lem somewhere in the vehicle skid control
system or active traction control system.
If the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light come on, have your
vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible. However, there is no
problem the “VSC/TRAC” warning light
comes on when the brake actuator tem-
perature becomes high. (For details, see
“Active traction control system” in this
section.) When the “ABS” warning light comes on,
the vehicle skid control system is not op-
erating.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light will come on when the
ignition key is turned “ON”, and will go off
after a few seconds.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light may stay on for 60
seconds after the ignition key is turned to
“ON” position. It is normal if they go off
after a few seconds.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the lights. It is normal if they
go off after a few seconds.
When the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“VSC OFF” indicator light come on, the
vehicle skid control system is not operat-
ing, but there is no problem if you contin-
ue to drive.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light, “VSC
OFF” indicator light and slip indicator
light do not come on after the ignition
key is turned “ON”.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“VSC OFF” indicator light remain on af-
ter the ignition key is turned “ON”.
The “VSC OFF” indicator light comes
on while driving without pushing the
center differential lock switch.
CAUTION
Active traction control system, ve-
hicle skid control system and anti −
lock brake system are electronic
systems designed to help the driver
maintain control under adverse con-
ditions. They are not a substitute
for safe driving practices. Factors
including speed, road conditions
and driver steering input can all af-
fect whether active traction control
system, vehicle skid control system
and anti −lock brake system will be
effective in preventing a loss of
control. Always keep safety driving
in mind. If the slip indicator light
flashes, sounding an alarm, special
care should be taken while driving.
Only use tires of specified size. The
size, manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern for all 4 tires should be the
same. If you use the tires other
than specified, or different type or
size, the vehicle skid control sys-
tem may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer. (See
“Checking and replacing tires” in
Section 7 −2.)
