PreRunner)
This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car because it is also designed for off- road use. It has a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In addition, this vehicle has a higher ground clearance and center of gravity than that of an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing death or serious “Off- road vehicle precautions” on page 252 in Section 2 and “Off- road driving precautions” on page 284 in Section 3.

NOTICE
(cid:1) To prevent the battery from being discharged, turn off all the vehicle’s electronic equipment and accesso- ries, such as the headlights, fog lights and air conditioner, when electrical appliances that consume in excess of 100W are used contin- uously for long periods of time.
(cid:1) To prevent any damage caused by heat, do not use any electrical ap- pliances that give off intense heat such as toasters, in any locations including the internal or external trim, seats and deck.
(cid:1) Do not use any electrical ap- pliances, which are easily affected by vibration or heat, inside the ve- hicle. Vibration while driving, or the heat of the sun while parking, may result in damage to those electrical appliances.
(cid:1) Keep the lid closed when the power outlet is not in use. Do not insert any items other than appropriate plugs, as this may cause electrical failure or short circuits.
(cid:1) After inserting a plug, gently close the power outlet lid. Failure to do so may cause damage to the plug. (cid:1) If any electrical appliances are to be used while driving, securely fas- ten both the appliances and their cables to prevent them from falling or getting caught any of the power- train components.
(cid:1) Do not use plug adaptors to con- nect too many plugs to the power outlet.
(cid:1) If the power outlet is loose when an electrical appliance plug is con- nected, replace the outlet. Contact a Toyota dealer for any necessary replacements.
(cid:1) If the power outlet gets dirty, turn the main switch off and use a soft, clean, dry-wet cloth to wipe it gent- ly. Do not use any cleansing materi- als, such as organic solvents, wax, or compound cleaners, as these may damage the power outlet or cause it to malfunction.
(cid:1) Keep the power outlet free from dust and foreign materials and clean it regularly.
The power outlet is not designed for the following electric appliances even if their power consumption is below the maximum capacity. These appliances may not operate properly. (cid:1) Appliances with high initial peak watt- age: cathode- ray tube type televisions, compressor- driven refrigerators, electric tools, etc.
(cid:1) Measuring devices which process pre- cise data: medical equipment, measur- ing instruments, etc.
(cid:1) Other appliances requiring an extremely stable power supply: microcomputer- controlled electric blankets, touch sen- sor lamps, etc.
Use of the power outlet may not be possible if the vehicle battery voltage is low due to decreased battery capacity. The integrated timers of electrical ap- pliances may not function properly when the power supply is cut by the protection circuit.

These keys work in every lock. Since the doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare key in case you accidentally lock your key 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. We recommend writing down the key num- ber and storing it in a safe place.
Your vehicle is supplied with the two kinds of keys. 1. Master keys (black)—These keys work in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will need one of them to make a new key with a built- in transponder chip.
2. Sub key (gray)—This key works in ev-
ery lock.
A transponder chip for engine immobilizer system has been placed in the head of the master and sub keys. These chips are needed to enable the system to function correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the engine.

NOTICE
When using a key containing a trans- ponder chip, observe the following precautions: (cid:1) When starting the engine, do not use the key with a key ring resting on the key grip and do not press the key ring against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts.
(cid:1) When starting the engine, do not use the key with other transponder keys around (including keys of oth- er vehicles) and do not press other key plates against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts. If this happens, remove the key once and then insert it again after remov- ing other transponder keys (includ- ing keys of other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the engine.

If any of the following indicator conditions occurs, contact your Toyota dealer. (cid:1) The indicator light stays on. (cid:1) The indicator light does not start flash- ing when the key is removed from the ignition switch.
Inserting the registered key in the ignition switch automatically cancels the system, which enables the engine to start. The indicator light will go off. For your Toyota dealer to make you a new key with built- in transponder chip, your dealer will need your key number and master key. However, there is a limit to the number of additional keys your Toyota dealer can make for you. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the sys- tem or start the engine.
NOTICE
Do not modify, remove or disas- semble the engine immobilizer sys- tem. If any unauthorized changes or modifications are made, proper opera- tion of the system cannot be guaran- teed.
