such as on the dashboard.
Do not disassemble it.
Avoid knocking it hard against other
objects or dropping it.

You can use up to 4 wireless remote con-
trol transmitters for the same vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for detailed

If the wireless remote control transmitter
does not actuate the doors or alarm, or
operate from a normal distance.
Check for closeness to a radio trans-
mitter such as a radio station or an

operation of the transmitter.
The batteries may have been con-
sumed. Check the battery in the trans-
mitter. To replace the battery, see “RE-
PLACING TRANSMITTER BATTERY”

Always make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone’s
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, be sure
that they operate the windows safe-
ly.
When small children are in the ve-

window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.

The gauge works when the ignition
switch is on and indicates the approxi-
mate quantity of fuel remaining in the
tank.
Nearly full–Indicator at “F”
Nearly empty–Indicator at “E”
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
When you refuel on the slope, the indica-
tor may not show the correct level.
When you refuel less than about 11.4 L
(3.0 gal., 2.5 lmp. gal.), the fuel indicator
may not change.
After the auxiliary battery is reconnected,
one segment will flash for a while.Depending on the ambient temperature,
the fuel quantity is less than 45 L (11.9
gal., 9.9 lmp. gal.) even at “F”. However,
this does not affect the fuel consumption
and the remaining fuel ratio indicated on
the gauge. (For details, see “Fuel” on
page 146 in Section 3.)

If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low
