LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH
POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH
Push the switch.
To lock: Push the switch down on the
front side.

rear side.
All the doors lock or unlock simultaneous-
ly.
21p012b
REAR DOOR CHILDPROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
When the child−protector is locked, you
cannot open the rear door by the inside
door handle. We recommend using this
feature whenever small children are in the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle in an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

To open the back door, push the back
door opener and raise the back door.
If the back door opener does not operate,
see “If you cannot operate back door
opener” on page 376.
12p033
When closing the back door, the inside
handle can be used to make the reach
easier.
See “Cargo and luggage” on page 342 for
precautions to observe when loading lug-
gage.
To close the back door, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the back door,
try pulling it up to make sure it is secure-
ly closed.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out, but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
If the 12 volt battery is disconnected or
run down, the back door will be automati-
cally locked and the back door system
may not work after you reconnect, replace
or recharge the 12 volt battery. In any of
these cases, normalize the back door sys-
tem by following procedure.
1. Unlock the back door with the remote control key or power door lock switch.
2. Close the back door completely by hand.
If the back door system does not operate
properly after the above procedure, there
may be a problem in the system. Contact
your Toyota dealer.

21p019a
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door.
The power windows work when the “IG−
ON” mode is enabled.
Key off operation : If both front doors are
closed, they work for 43 seconds even
after the hybrid system is stopped. They
stop working when either front door is
opened.
OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW
Use the switch on the driver’s door.
Normal operation : The window moves as
long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly push down the switch.
To close: Lightly pull up the switch.
21p020b
Automatic operation : Push the switch
completely down or pull it completely up,
and then release it. The window will fully
open or close. To stop the window part-
way, lightly move the switch in the oppo-
site direction and then release it.
Jam protection function: If something
gets caught between the window and win-
dow frame during automatic closing opera-
tion or key off closing operation, the win-
dow stops and opens halfway.
If the window receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught. If the 12 volt battery is disconnected or
run down,
the power window may not
operate automatically and the jam protec-
tion function will not function correctly af-
ter you reconnect, replace or recharge the
12 volt battery. In any of these cases, you
should normalize the power window.
To normalize the power window:
1. Push down the power window switch and lower the window halfway.
2. Pull up the switch until the window closes and hold the switch for a sec-
ond.
Make sure that the window opens and
closes automatically. If the power window
cannot be operated properly, have it
checked by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in death or serious injury.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.

OPERATING THE PASSENGERS’
WINDOWS
Use the switch on each passenger ’s
door or the switches on the driver ’s
door that control each passengers’ win-
dow.

CAUTION
To avoid death or serious injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure that he or she
operates the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Turn the hybrid system “OFF” and
take the key with you, when you
leave your vehicle.

45
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the key still inserted
or with the hybrid system other
than “OFF”. Otherwise, he/she
could use the power window
switches and get trapped in a win-
dow. Unattended person (particular-
ly a small child) can be involved in
a serious accident.
21p026c
To open the hood:1. Pull the hood lock release lever. The hood will spring up slightly.

occur.

21p032e
3. Hold the hood open by inserting thesupport rod into the slot.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. and return the support rod to its
clip—this prevents rattles. Then lower the
hood and make sure it locks into place.
If necessary, press down gently on the
front edge to lock it.
CAUTION
After inserting the support rod into
the slot, make sure the rod supports
the hood securely from falling down
on to your head or body.
NOTICE
Be sure to return the support rod to
its clip before closing the hood. Clos-
ing the hood with the support rod
inserted into the slot could cause the
hood to bend.
Theft deterrent system
21p028a
To deter vehicle theft, the system is
designed to sound an alarm if any of
the doors or hood is forcibly unlocked
or the battery terminal is reconnected
when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently
and flashes the headlights and tail lights
and other exterior lights.
This function can be deactivated or acti-
vated. For details, contact your Toyota
dealer.
