Chapter 1-2
Keys and Doors


(cid:1) Keys (cid:1) Side doors (cid:1) Power windows (cid:1) Trunk lid (cid:1) Hood (cid:1) Theft deterrent system (cid:1) Fuel tank cap (cid:1) Electric moon roof


Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of key. 1. Master key—This key works in every lock. 2. Subkey—This key will not work in the glovebox and trunk. To protect things locked in the glovebox when you have your vehicle parked, leave the subkey with the attendant. Since the doors and trunk lid can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you acci- dentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.


KEY NUMBER PLATE Your key number is shown on the plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer using the key number. You should also put a copy of the key number with your important papers.


Side doors—


Driver’s side


LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH KEY Insert the key into the keyhole and turn it. To lock: Turn the key forward. To unlock: Turn the key backward. All the doors lock and unlock simulta- neously with either front door. In the driv- er’s door lock, turning the key once will un- lock the driver’s door and twice in succession will unlock all the doors simul- taneously.


LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH IN- SIDE LOCK KNOB Move the lock knob. To lock: Push the knob forward. To unlock: Pull the knob backward. Closing the door with the lock knob pushed in will also lock the door. Be care- ful not to lock your keys in the vehicle. The door cannot be locked if you leave the key in the ignition switch.


Passenger’s side


LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH Push the switch. To lock: Push the switch on the front side. To unlock: Push the switch on the rear side. All the doors lock or unlock simultaneously.


CAUTION


Before driving, be sure that the doors are closed and locked, espe- cially when small children are in the vehicle. 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 during an accident. It also helps prevent the doors from being opened unintentionally.


REAR DOOR CHILD-PROTECTORS Turn the lock knob to the “LOCK” position as shown on the label. This feature allows you to lock a rear door so it can be opened from the outside only, not from inside. We recommend using this feature whenever small children are in the vehicle.


—Wireless remote control


Locking operation


Unlocking operation


10


Your vehicle has a wireless remote control system that can lock or unlock all the doors from a distance within approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of the outside handle of the driver’s door. When op- erated within approximately 1 m (3 ft.) of the trunk lid, this system also opens the trunk lid. To lock or unlock all the doors, push the switches of the transmitter. To lock: Push the “LOCK” switch. All the doors are locked simultaneously. To unlock: Push the “UNLOCK” switch once to unlock the driver’s door alone. Pushing the switch twice within 5 seconds unlocks all the doors simultaneously. If any of the doors is not securely closed, or if the key is in the ignition switch, locking cannot be performed by the “LOCK” switch. You have 30 seconds to open a door after using the wireless unlock feature. If a door is not opened by then, all the doors will be automatically locked again. If pushing the “LOCK” or “UNLOCK” switch does not actuate the doors, and you have checked the battery in the trans- mitter, consult your Toyota dealer.


To open the trunk lid, push the trunk lid open switch. To open the trunk lid with the master key, see “Trunk lid”. If the wireless remote control transmitter does not operate from a normal distance: (cid:1) Check the batteries in the transmitter. To replace the batteries, see “Replac- ing transmitter batteries”.


(cid:1) Check for closeness to a radio trans- mitter such as a radio station or an air- port which can interfere with normal operation of the transmitter.


Wireless remote control transmitter: (cid:1) Avoid knocking it hard against other


objects.


(cid:1) Avoid putting it in water. Replacing transmitter batteries The expected life of your transmitter bat- teries is about one year. For replacement, use DURACELL DL2016 or equivalent. a. Using a screwdriver, separate the two halves of the transmitter with the transmit- ter buttons facing down. Take care not to damage the rubber gas- ket during removal. b. Remove and replace the transmitter batteries. If you touch a new battery with your fin- gers, clean it with rubbing alcohol. Skin oils may shorten the batteries’ life. c. Reassemble transmitter case. Make sure the gasket is properly installed. After replacing batteries, check that the transmitter operates properly. If the trans- mitter still does not operate properly, con- tact your Toyota dealer.

This system helps protect things locked in the trunk by safeguarding the lock release button from unwanted access. After closing the glovebox lid, insert the master key into the glovebox lock and turn it clockwise to safeguard the lock release button. After closing the trunk lid, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely locked.


To open the hood, do the following. 1. Pull the hood lock release lever. The hood will spring up slightly.


2. In front of the vehicle, pull up on the auxiliary catch lever and lift the hood. Before closing the hood, check to see that you have not forgotten any tools, rags, etc. Then lower the hood until make sure it locks into place. If necessary, press down gently on front edge to lock it.


15


Theft deterrent system


To deter the vehicle theft, the system is designed to give an alarm and keep the engine from being started if any of the doors, trunk or hood is forcibly un- locked or the battery terminal is dis- connected and then reconnected when the vehicle is locked. The alarm blows the horn intermittently and flashes the headlights, tail lights and other exterior lights. The engine cannot be started because the starter circuit will be cut.


SETTING THE SYSTEM 1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and remove it. 2. Have all passengers get out of the ve- hicle. 3. Close and lock all the doors, trunk and hood. The indicator light will come on when all the doors, trunk and hood are closed and locked. As the doors are locked, the system will give you a preparation time of 30 seconds before the setting, during which the doors, trunk and hood may be opened to prepare for the setting.


16


Be careful not to use the key or wireless remote control transmitter when opening any door. This will cancel the system. 4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle. The system will automatically be set after the preparation time passes. The indica- tor light will flash to show the system is set. If any of the doors, trunk or hood is open at that time, the setting is interrupted until it is closed and locked. 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 and cut the starter circuit under the following condi- tions:


(cid:1)


(cid:1)


If any of the doors, trunk or hood is un- locked without using the key or wire- less remote control transmitter If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected


After one minute, the alarm will automati- cally stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.


Reactivating the alarm Once set, the system automatically resets the alarm each time all the doors, trunk and hood are closed after the alarm stops. The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions:


(cid:1)


(cid:1)


If any of the doors, trunk or hood is opened If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected


Stopping the alarm Turn the ignition key from the “LOCK” to “ACC” position. The alarm will be stopped with the starter circuit kept on. Stopping the alarm in this manner will keep the alarm from being reactivated when any of the doors, trunk or hood is opened. Interrupting the setting With the system set, the trunk can be opened with the key or wireless remote control transmitter without setting off the system. While the truck is open, the set- ting is interrupted and the doors and hood may be opened in addition. However, when the battery terminal is reconnected, the system is activated.


Close and lock the doors and hood, and the system will automatically be reset af- ter two seconds when the trunk is closed with the key removed. CANCELLING THE SYSTEM Unlock either front door with the key or wireless remote control transmitter. This cancels the system completely and the starter circuit cut will be cancelled at once. INDICATOR LIGHT The indicator light gives the following three indications. FLASHING—The system is set. You need the key or wireless remote control transmitter to open the doors, trunk and hood. ON—The system will automatically be set when the time comes. The doors, trunk and hood may be opened without a key or wireless remote control transmitter. OFF—The system is inactive. You may open any door, trunk and hood.


TESTING THE SYSTEM 1. Open all the windows 2. Set the system as described above. The doors should be locked with the key or wireless remote control transmitter. Be sure to wait until the indicator light starts flashing. 3. Unlock any door from the inside. The system should activate the alarm. 4. Cancel the system by unlocking any of the doors with the key or wireless remote control transmitter. 5. Repeat this operation for the other doors, trunk and hood. When testing on the hood, also check that the system is ac- tivated when the battery terminal is dis- connected and then reconnected. If the system does not work properly, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

Seat belts- —Seat belt precautions Toyota recommends that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be properly re- strained at all times with the seat belts provided. Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of injury in accidents. Baby or small child. Use a child restraint system which fits your vehicle. See “Child restraint” for details. Child. If a child is too large for a child re- straint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. Do not allow the child to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. If the shoulder belt falls across the child’s neck or face, have the child sit slightly closer to the buckle side or the seat so that the belt lays across the shoulder. Pregnant woman. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Ask your doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist. Injured person. Toyota recommends the use of a seat belt. Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations.


CAUTION


Persons should ride in their seats properly wearing their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury in the event of sudden braking or a collision.


When using the seat belts, observe the following: (cid:1) Use the belt for only one person at a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more people—even chil- dren.


(cid:1) Avoid reclining the seatbacks too much. The seat belts provide maxi- mum protection when the seat- backs are in the upright position. (See the seat adjustment instruc- tions.)


(cid:1) Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get caught or pinched in the seat or side doors. (cid:1) Inspect the belt system periodical- ly. check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the system.

—Front and rear seat belts (3-point type)


(cid:1) Front passenger’s seat only (ex- cept the center position of bench front seat). Replace the belt if the warning label under the sleeve can be seen. The warning label, “RE- PLACE BELT”, will appear if the belt receives a severe impact or other force.


Adjust the seat as needed (front seats only) and sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the seat position. The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move around freely.


(cid:1) Keep the belts clean and dry. If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive clean- ers—they may severely weaken the belts.


(cid:1) Replace the belt assembly (includ- ing bolts) if it has been used in a se- vere impact. The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious.


26


If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor. When a passenger’s shoulder belt is com- pletely extended and is then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that posi- tion and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system securely. (For details, see “Child restraint” in this chapter.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more.


CAUTION


(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.


(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.


(cid:1) If the seat belt does not function immediately contact


normally, your Toyota dealer.


Seat belts with an adjustable shoulder anchor— Adjust the shoulder anchor position to your size. To raise: Slide the anchor up. To lower: Push in the lock release button and slide the anchor down. After adjustment make sure the anchor is locked in position.


CAUTION


Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and in- crease the chance of injury.


27


—Front center seat belt (2-point type)


Sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, insert the tab into the buckle. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. If the belt is not long enough for you, hold the tab at a right angle to the belt and pull on the tab.


CAUTION


(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.


Adjust the position of the lap and shoulder belts Position the lap belt as low as possible on your hips—not your waist, then adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion upward through the latch plate.


CAUTION


To release the belt, press the buckle- release button and allow the belt to re- tract. If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it re- tracts.


(cid:1) High-positioned


lap belts and loose-fitting belts both could in- crease the chance of injury due to sliding under the lap belt during an accident. Keep the lap belt as low on your hip bone as possible.


(cid:1) For your safety, do not place the


shoulder belt under your arm.


28


(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.

—Seat belt extender If your seat belt cannot be fastened se- curely because it is not long enough, a personalized seatbelt extender is avail- able from your Toyota dealer free of charge. Please contact your local Toyota dealer so that the dealer can order the proper re- quired length for the extender. Bring the heaviest coat you expect to wear for prop- er measurement and selection of length. Additional ordering information is avail- able at your Toyota dealer.


CAUTION


When using the seat belt extender, observe the following. Failure to follow these instructions could re- sult in less effectiveness of the seat belt restraint system in case of ve- hicle accident, the chance of personal injury. (cid:1) Never use the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt with- out it.


increasing


(cid:1) Remember that the extender pro- vided for you may not be safe when used on a different vehicle, or for another person or at a differ- ent seating position than the one originally intended for.


To connect the extender to the seat belt, insert the tab into the seat belt buckle so that the “PRESS” signs on the buckle-release buttons of the ex- tender and the seat belt are both facing outward as shown. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle-release button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and extend- er itself. When not in use, remove the extender and store in the vehicle for future use.


SRS airbags


CAUTION


(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the seat belt extender is not twisted.


(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.


(cid:1) If the seat belt does not function normally, immediately contact your Toyota dealer.


The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) airbags are designed to provide further protection to occupants in the following seats when added to the pri- mary protection provided by the seat belts. (cid:1) Vehicles with separate front seats— The SRS airbags are designed to pro- tect the driver and front passenger.


(cid:1) Vehicles with bench front seats—The SRS airbags are designed to protect the driver and right-front passenger. They are not designed to protect occu- pant in the center position.


In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS airbags work together with the seat belts to prevent or reduce injury by inflat- ing, in order to decrease the likelihood of the driver’s or front passenger’s head or chest directly hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag is acti- vated even with no passenger in the front seat.


31


However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on im- pact, or if it is involved in an underride col- lision (e.g. a collision in which the nose of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck). It is possible with collision severity at the marginal level of airbag sensor detection and activation that only one of your ve- hicle’s two airbags will deploy. For the safety of all occupants, be sure to always wear seat belts.


This indicator comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. It goes off after about 6
seconds. This means the SRS airbags are operating properly. The SRS airbag warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, in- flators, warning light, interconnecting wir- ing and power sources.


The SRS airbag system is designed to activate in response to a severe frontal impact within the shaded area be- tween the arrows in the illustration. The SRS airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approxi- mate 20 km/h (14 mph) collision when im- pacting straight into a fixed barrier that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the SRS airbags may not deploy.


32


The SRS airbags are not designed to inflate if the vehicle is subjected to a side or rear impact, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision.


The SRS airbag system mainly consists of the following components and their locations are shown in the illustration. 1 Airbag sensor assembly 2 Steering wheel pad (airbag and inflator) 3 Passenger airbag module (airbag and


inflator)


4 SRS airbag warning light The airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and airbag sensor.


In a severe frontal impact, sensors detect deceleration and the system triggers the airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction in the inflators momentarily fills the air- bags with non-toxic nitrogen gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occu- pants. When the airbags inflate, they produce a fairly loud noise and release some smoke along with the nitrogen gas. This is not harmful and does not indicate a fire. Be sure to wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent minor skin irritation. Deployment of the airbags happen in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must inflate with considerable force. While the system is designed to reduce serious inju- ries, it may also cause minor burns or abrasions and swellings. Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, dashboard) may be hot for several minutes, but the airbags them- selves will not be hot. The airbags are de- signed to inflate only once.


33


A crash severe enough to inflate the air- bags may break the windshield as the ve- hicle buckles. In vehicles with a passen- ger airbag the windshield may also be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating airbag.


CAUTION


(cid:1) The SRS airbag system is designed only as a supplement to the prima- ry protection of the seat belt sys- tems of the driver and front passen- ger. The front seat occupants are particularly susceptible to injury if they do not wear their seat belts; when sudden braking or a collision occurs, they may be thrown for- ward. To obtain further protection in an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear their seat belts when driving. For instructions and pre- cautions concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in this chapter.


(cid:1) A baby or small child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured in a rear seat us- ing a child restraint system.


34


(cid:1) Do not use a rear-facing child re- straint system in the front seat be- cause the force of the rapid infla- tion of the passenger airbag may cause severe injury to the child. Ve- hicles with a passenger airbag dis- play a caution label on the passen- ger side instrument panel as shown above to remind you not to install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front seat.


(cid:1) When using a forward-facing child restraint system in the front seat, the seat must be moved as far back as possible. For instructions con- cerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child re- straint” in this chapter.


(cid:1) Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean over the dashboard when the vehicle is in use. The airbags inflate with considerable speed and force; you may be severely injured. Sit up straight and well back in the seat, and always use your seat belt.


(cid:1) Do not allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passenger seat. The airbag inflates with con- siderable speed and force; the child may be severely injured.


(cid:1) Do not hold a child on your lap or in your arms. Use a child restraint system in the rear seat. For instruc- tions concerning the installation of a child restraint system, see “Child restraint” in this chapter.


(cid:1) Do not put objects on or in front of the dashboard or steering wheel pad that houses the airbag system. They might restrict inflation or cause personal injury as they are projected rearward.


(cid:1) Do not modify, remove or open any component or wiring, such as the steering wheel, column cover, front passenger airbag cover, front pas- senger airbag, airbag sensor as- sembly. Doing any of these may cause sudden SRS airbag inflation or disable the system, which could result in personal injury.


Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe injuries.


35


NOTICE


Do not perform any of the following changes without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such changes can interfere with proper operation of the SRS airbag system in some cases. (cid:2)Installation of electronic items such as a mobile two-way radio, cassette tape player or compact disc player


(cid:2)Modification of the suspension


system


(cid:2)Modification of the front end


structure


(cid:2)Attachment of a grille guard (bull bar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow- plow, winches or any other equip- ment to the front end


(cid:2)Repairs made on or near the con- sole, steering column, steering wheel or dashboard near the front passenger airbag

This SRS airbag system has a service re- minder indicator to inform the driver of op- erating problems. If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a mal- function of the airbags. Contact your To- yota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle. (cid:1) The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position, or remains on.


(cid:1) The light comes on while driving.


In the following cases, contact your Toyo- ta dealer as soon as possible: (cid:1) The SRS airbags have been inflated. (cid:1) The front part of the vehicle (shaded in the illustration) was involved in an ac- cident not of the extent to cause the SRS airbags to inflate


(cid:1) The pad section of the steering wheel or front passenger airbag cover (shaded in the illustration) is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.


Child restraint— —Child restraint precautions Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use it. The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system.


CAUTION


For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, children must be properly re- strained. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior if you are unre- strained.


—Child restraint system A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be restrained on the seat with either the lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. The child restraint system should conform to the size of the child and properly fit the vehicle seat. For greater safety, the child restraint system should be installed in the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly re- strained in the rear seat than in the front seat. When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the system. General di- rections are also provided under the fol- lowing illustrations.


CAUTION


After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in place. If it is not restrained secure- ly, it may cause injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or ac- cident.


When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place it somewhere other than in passenger compartment. This will prevent it injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.


Your vehicle has anchors for securing the top strap of a child restraint system. The anchor nuts are welded beneath the sheet metal to permit installation of an anchor bracket for a child restraint system. To install an anchor bracket, use an 8 mm X 30 mm X 1.25 mm coarse thread metric bolt and a 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer. Note that the bolts accompanying many child restraint systems are not metric. You can damage the anchor nuts on your vehicle if you force bolts with different thread into the anchor nuts. For instructions about how to install the anchor bracket, see “(B) TOP STRAP ANCHORS AND LOCATIONS”. If your child restraint system does not pro- vide any of the necessary parts, you can purchase the following items from your Toyota dealer. *CRS installation kit


(Part No. 04731-22012) —contains 1 bolt, 3 types of spacers and 1 locking clip.
