(P. 80) ■Front passenger detection sensor, passenger seat belt reminder and warning buzzer ●If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat. ●If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passen- ger, and the warning light may not operate properly. ■Electric power steering system warning light (warning buzzer) When the battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily drops, the electric power steering system warning light may come on and the warning buzzer may sound. ■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving First check the following: ●Is the fuel tank empty? If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately. ●Is the fuel tank cap loose? If it is, tighten it securely. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several driving trips. If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off even after several trips, con- tact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. ■When the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level. Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch will not turn off the tire pressure warning light. 310 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency ■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks and tire inflation pressure changes caused by tem- perature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes). ■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire (vehicles with a tire pres- sure warning system) The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even though the flat tire has been replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the tire infla- tion pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a few min- utes. ■If the tire pressure warning system is not functioning (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) The system will be disabled in the following conditions: (When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.) ●If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit- ters are used ●If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are not registered in the tire pressure warning computer ●If the tire inflation pressure is 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm2 or bar) or higher The tire pressure warning system may be disabled in the following condi- tions: (When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.) ●If electronic devices or facilities using similar radio wave frequencies are nearby ●If a radio set at a similar frequency is in use in the vehicle ●If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed ●If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the wheels or wheel housings 311 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency ●If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used (Even if you use Toyota wheels, the tire pressure warning system may not work properly with some types of tires.) ●If tire chains are used ■If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position, have it checked by your Toyota dealer. ■Customization that can be configured at Toyota dealer The vehicle speed linked seat belt reminder buzzer can be disabled. (Customizable features P. 368) However, Toyota recommends that the seat belt reminder buzzer be operational to alert the driver and front passen- ger when seat belts are not fastened. CAUTION ■When the electric power steering system warning light comes on The steering wheel may become extremely heavy. If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold firmly and operate using more force than usual. ■If the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury. ●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately. ●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres- sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change it with the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the nearest Toyota dealer. ●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes. 312 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION ■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately. ■Maintenance of the tire (vehicles with a tire pressure warning sys- tem) Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a differ- ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi- nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub- stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). 313 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operat- ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi- cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi- nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari- ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres- sure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter- nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to continue to function properly. NOTICE ■Precaution when installing a different tire (vehicles with a tire pres- sure warning system) When a tire of a different specification or maker is installed, the tire pres- sure warning system may not operate properly. 314 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If you have a flat tire Remove the flat tire and replace it with the spare tire provided. ■ Before jacking up the vehicle ● Stop the vehicle on a hard, flat surface. ● Set the parking brake. ● Shift the shift lever to P (vehicles with an automatic transmis- sion) or R (vehicles with a manual transmission). ● Stop the engine. ● Turn on the emergency flashers. ■ Location of the spare tire, jack and tools Tie-down belt Jack handle Wheel nut wrench Jack Spare tire Tool bag Towing eyelet 315 5-2.

The compact spare tire is not designed for driving at high speeds. Failure to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or seri- ous injury. ■Using the tire jack Improper use of the tire jack may cause the vehicle to suddenly fall off the jack, leading to death or serious injury. ●Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or installing and removing tire chains. ●Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire. Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other jacks for replac- ing tires on this vehicle. ●Always check that the tire jack is securely set to the jack point. ●Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while it is supported by the jack. ●Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack. ●Do not raise the vehicle while someone is inside. ●When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack. ●Do not raise the vehicle to a height greater than that required to replace the tire. ●Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle. Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one working on or near the vehicle may be injured. 324 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION ■Replacing a flat tire ●Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immedi- ately after the vehicle has been driven. After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns. ●Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury. • Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft·lbf (103 N·m, 10.5 kgf·m) as soon as possible after changing wheels. • When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi- cally designed for that wheel. • If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer. • When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered ends facing inward. (P. 267) ■When stowing the flat tire ●Make sure the rear seats are in their original position. ●Secure it using a tire tie-down belt. Otherwise, the flat tire may fly out in case of the sudden braking or an accident, resulting in death or serious injury. 325 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency NOTICE ■Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire Do not continue driving with a flat tire. Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel beyond repair. ■Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire installed on the vehicle The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire compared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over uneven road surfaces. ■Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire. Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving performance. ■When replacing the tires (vehicles with a tire pressure warning sys- tem) When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly. ■To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmit- ters (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system) When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire. (P. 255) 326 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If the engine will not start If the engine will not start even though correct starting procedures are being followed (P. 124), consider each of the following points: ■ The engine will not start even though the starter motor operates normally. One of the following may be the cause of the problem: ● There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank. Refuel the vehicle. ● The engine may be flooded. Try to restart the engine again following correct starting proce- dures. (P. 124) ● Vehicles with engine immobilizer system: There may be a malfunction in the engine immobilizer system. (P. 72) ■ The starter motor turns over slowly, the interior lights and headlights are dim, or the horn does not sound or sounds at a low volume. One of the following may be the cause of the problem: ● The battery may be discharged. (P. 330) ● The battery terminal connections may be loose or corroded. ■ The starter motor does not turn over, the interior lights and headlights do not turn on, or the horn does not sound. One of the following may be the cause of the problem: ● One or both of the battery terminals may be disconnected. ● The battery may be discharged. (P. 330) Contact your Toyota dealer if the problem cannot be repaired, or if repair procedures are unknown. 327 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P (vehicles with an automatic transmission) If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brake pedal, there may be a problem with the shift lock system (a system to pre- vent accidental operation of the shift lever). Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately. The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to ensure that the shift lever can be shifted: Set the parking brake. Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” position. Depress the brake pedal. Pry the cover up with a flat- head screwdriver or equiva- lent tool. To prevent damage the cover, cover the tip of the screwdriver with a rag. to Press the shift lock override button. The shift lever can be shifted while the button is pressed. 328 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If you lose your keys New genuine Toyota keys can be made by your Toyota dealer using the other key and the key number stamped on your key number plate. 329 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If the vehicle battery is discharged The following procedures may be used to start the engine if the vehicle’s battery is discharged. You can also call your Toyota dealer or qualified repair shop. If you have a set of jumper (or booster) cables and a second vehi- cle with a 12-volt battery, you can jump start your vehicle by follow- ing the steps below. Open the hood (P. 238) Connect the jumper cables according to the following procedure: Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal on your vehicle. Connect the clamp on the other end of the positive cable to the positive (+) battery terminal on the second vehicle. Connect a negative cable clamp to the negative (-) battery termi- nal on the second vehicle. Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative cable to a solid, stationary, unpainted metallic point away from the battery and any moving parts, as shown in the illustration. Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5 minutes to recharge the battery of your vehicle. 330 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start the engine of your vehicle by turning the engine switch to the “ON” position. Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper cables in the exact reverse order from which they were con- nected. Once the engine starts, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. ■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged (vehicles with an automatic transmission) The engine cannot be started by push-starting. ■To prevent battery discharge ●Turn off the headlights and the air conditioning system while the engine is off. ●Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run- ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic. ■When the battery is removed or discharged (vehicles with an alarm system) Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing the battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is activated. (P. 75) ■Charging the battery The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer- tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges automatically during driving.) 331 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION ■Avoiding battery fires or explosions Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam- mable gas that may be emitted from the battery: ●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal. ●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact with each other. ●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near the battery. ■Battery precautions The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre- cautions when handling the battery: ●When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle body. ●Do not lean over the battery. ●In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention. Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be received. ●Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and other battery-related parts. ●Do not allow children near the battery. ■To prevent damaging to the vehicle Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle as the three-way catalytic converter may overheat and become a fire hazard. 332 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency NOTICE ■When handling jumper cables When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entan- gled in the cooling fans or belt. 333 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If your vehicle overheats The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating. ● The high engine coolant temperature warning light (P. 306) comes on or flashes, or a loss of engine power is experienced. (For example, the vehicle speed does not increase.) ● Steam comes out from under the hood. Follow the correction procedure as described below. Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condi- tioning system, and then stop the engine. If you see steam: Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides. If you do not see steam: Carefully lift the hood. After the engine has cooled down sufficiently, inspect the hoses and radiator core (radi- ator) for any leaks. Radiator Cooling fan If a large amount of coolant leaks, contact your Toyota dealer. immediately The coolant level is satisfac- tory if it is between the “FULL” and “LOW” lines on the reser- voir. Reservoir “FULL” line “LOW” line 334 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency Add coolant if necessary. Water can be used in an emer- gency if coolant is unavailable. Start the engine and turn the air conditioning system on to check that the radiator cooling fan operates and to check for coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses. The fan operates when the air conditioning system is turned on immediately after a cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating by checking the fan sound and air flow.
