■The wireless charger can be 
operated when
The engine switch is in ACC or ON.
■Usable portable devices
●Qi standard wireless charge stan-
dard can be used on compatible 
devices. However, not all Qi stan-
dard devices and compatibility are 
guaranteed.
●Starting with mobile phones and 
smartphones, it is aimed for low 
power electrically supplied porta-
ble devices of no more than 5W.
●However, charging exceeding 5 W 
is supported by the following por-
table devices.
• Charging at 7.5 W or less is sup-
ported by iPhone’s that support 
7.5 W charging.
• Charging at 10 W or less is sup-
ported by portable devices compli-
ant with WPC standard Ver1.2.4.
■Using the smart key system
If the smart key system detects the 
key while a device is being charged, 
charging will be temporarily 
stopped.
■When covers and accessories 
are attached to portable devices
Do not charge in situations where 
cover and accessories not able to 
handle Qi are attached to the porta-
ble device. Depending on the type 
of cover and acce ssory, it may not 
be possible to charge. When 
charging is not performed even with 
the portable devic e placed on the 
charge area, remove the cover and 
accessories.
■While charging, noise enters 
the AM radio
●Turn off the wireless charger and 
confirm that the noise has 
decreased. If the noise 
decreases, continuously pushing 
the power supply switch of the 
wireless charger for 2 seconds, 
the frequency of the charger can 
be changed and the noise can be 
reduced. Also, on that occasion, 
the operation indicator light will 
flash orange 2 times.
●iPhone’s use a particular fre-
quency for rapid charging. 
Depending on the iOS version, 
rapid charging may not be per-
formed while switching frequen-
cies.

■Important points of the wireless 
charger
●If the electronic key cannot be 
detected within the vehicle inte-
rior, charging cannot be done. 
When the door is opened and 
closed, charging may be tempo-
rarily suspended.
●When charging, the wireless 
charging device and portable 
device will get warmer, however 
this is not a malfunction.
When a portable device gets 
warm while charging, charging 
may stop due to the protection 
function on the portable device 
side. In this case, when the tem-
perature of the portable device 
drops significantly, charge again.
The fan may start operating to lower 
the temperature inside the wireless 
charger, however this is not a mal-
function.
■Operation sounds
A buzzing noise may be heard when 
pressing the power supply switch to 
turn the power supply on, when 
turning the engine switch to ACC or 
ON while the wireless charger 
power supply is on,  or when detect-
ing a portable device. However, this 
is not a malfunction.
WARNING
■Caution while driving

for safety reasons, the driver 
should not operate the main part 
of the portable device while driv-
ing.
■Caution while in motion
Do not charge lightweight devices 
such as wireless headphones 
while in motion. These devices 
are very light and may be ejected 
from the charging tray, which may 
lead to unforeseen accidents.
■Caution regarding interfer-
ence with electronic devices
People with implantable cardiac 
pacemakers, cardiac resynchroni-
zation therapy-pacemakers or 
implantable cardio verters, as well 
as any other electrical medical 
device, should consult their physi-
cian about the usage of the wire-
less charger.
■To prevent malfunctions or 
burns
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to  do so may result 
in a equipment failure and dam-
age, catch fire, bur ns due to over-
heat or electric shock.
●Do not insert any metallic 
objects between the charge 
area and the portable device 
while charging
●Do not attach a n aluminum 
sticker or other metallic object to 
the charge area
●Do not attach a n aluminum 
sticker or other metallic object to 
the side of the portable device 
(or to its case or cover) that 
touches the charge area
●Do not use the ch arging tray as 
a small storage space
●Do not subject to a strong force 
or impact
●Do not disassemb le, modify or 
remove
●Do not charge devices other

• When washing the vehicle, use  water to wash off  dirt. If the vehi-
cle is particularly dirty, use a 
diluted neutral detergent and a 
sponge or a soft cloth and wash 
off the dir t by hand.
• Wash detergent off with water  immediately after use. After using 
detergent, wash the detergent off 
with water and wipe the vehicle 
dry with a soft cloth.
●For vehicles with matte painted 
wheels: Make sure to observe the 
following precautions to prevent 
damage to the matte paint.
• Do not polish or scrub with dry 
cloths, brushes, etc.
• Do not use detergents containing  coatings or abrasives.
• If using an automatic car wash,  make sure it does not include ded-
icated wheel brushes.
• Do not use high-pressure spray  guns or steam cleaners.
• Do not use det ergent on the 
wheels when they are hot, such 
as after driving or parking in hot 
weather.
■Brake pads and calipers
Rust may form if the vehicle is 
parked with wet brake pads or disc 
rotors, causing them to stick. Before 
parking the vehicle after it is 
washed, drive slow ly and apply the 
brakes several times to dry the 
parts.
■Bumpers
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■Plated portions
If dirt cannot be removed, clean the 
parts as follows:
●Use a soft cloth dampened with 
an approximately 5% solution of 
neutral detergent and water to 
clean the dirt off.
●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft 
cloth to remove any remaining 
moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alco- hol wet wipes or a similar product.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of 
the engine compartment. Doing 
so may cause the electrical com-
ponents, etc. to catch fire.
■When cleaning the windshield 
(vehicles with rain-sensing 
windshield wipers)
Set the wiper switch to off.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, 
the wipers may operate unexpect-
edly in the following situations, 
and may result in hands being 
caught or other serious injuries 
and cause damage to the wiper 
blades.

■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine 
Toyota parts be used for repairs to 
ensure performanc e of each sys-
tem. If non-Toyota p arts are used in 
replacement or if a repair shop other 
than a Toyota dealer performs 
repairs, confirm the warranty cover-
age.
■Allow inspection and repairs to 
be performed by a Toyota 
dealer
●Toyota technicians are well-
trained specialists and are kept up 
to date with the  latest service 
information. They are well 
informed about the operations of 
all systems on your vehicle.
●Keep a copy of the repair order. It 
proves that the maintenance that 
has been performed is under war-
ranty coverage. If any problem 
should arise while your vehicle is 
under warranty, your Toyota 
dealer will promptly take care of it.
General maintenance should be 
performed on a daily basis. This 
can be done by yourself or by a 
Toyota dealer.
Scheduled maintenance should 
be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
For details about maintenance 
items and schedules, refer to the 
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or 
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
