Vehicles without a smart key system:
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and turn the
engine switch to the “ON” position, then start the vehicle’s engine.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and turn the
engine switch to IGNITION ON mode, then start the vehicle’s
engine.
Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper cables in
the exact reverse order from which they were connected.
To install the engine cover, conduct the removal procedure in
reverse. After installing, check that the fixed pins are inserted
securely.

Once the engine starts, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.

■

Starting the engine when the battery is discharged

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
stopped.

●

Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running
at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.

■

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.)

■

Precautions when the battery is discharged (vehicles with a smart key
system)

●

In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.

●

The engine may not start on the first attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.

●

The engine switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the battery
was discharged. Before disconnecting the battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the battery.

■

When replacing the battery

●

Use a battery that conforms to European regulations.

●

Use a battery that the case size is same as the previous one, 20 hour rate
capacity (20HR) is equivalent or greater, and performance rating (CCA) is
equivalent or greater.
Check the label on top of the battery for the battery size and specifications
(ex. LN2, 60Ah, 345A).
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-

cle is not used is a short time, the battery may discharge and the engine
may not be able to start.

●

For details, consult your Toyota dealer.

WARNING

■

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 other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi-
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area,
such as brackets or unpainted metal.

●

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.

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20

SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good start-
ing in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available, SAE
5W-20 oil may be used. However, it
must be replaced with SAE 0W-20
at the next oil change.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):

• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold

startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier starting of
the engine in cold weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the

oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or
under extreme load conditions.

How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant
Specification Advisory Commit-
tee (ILSAC) Certification Mark
is added to some oil containers
to help you select the oil you
should use.

Fuel information

■

Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gaso-
line you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.

■

Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

●

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid the build-up of engine deposits.

●

All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to
clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives concen-
tration program.

●

Toyota strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For
more information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers,
please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.

■

Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline

Gasolines containing oxygenates such as ethers and ethanol, as well as
reformulated gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are typically
acceptable for use, providing they meet other fuel requirements.
Toyota recommends these fuels, since the formulations allow for reduced
vehicle emissions.

You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.
Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87
may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to
engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A.

■

Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline

●

If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 87.

●

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

■

Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcy-
clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel
containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely
affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this
happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Toyota dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerat-
ing or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

●

Use only gasoline containing up to 15%
ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline
that could contain more than 15% etha-
nol, including from any pump labeled
E30, E50, E85 (which are only some
examples of fuel containing more than
15% ethanol).

DO NOT use gasoline contain-
ing more than 15% ethanol.

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the
level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is
encountered after using a different type of fuel, discontinue the use of that
type of fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.

Tire ply composition and materials

Plies are layers of rubber-coated parallel cords. Cords are the strands

which form the plies in a tire.

Radial tires or bias-ply tires

A radial tire has “RADIAL” on the sidewall. A tire not marked “RADIAL”

is a bias-ply tire.

TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE

A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly put into the tire.

A tube type tire has a tube inside the tire and the tube maintains the air

pressure.

This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations
issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the
U.S. Department of Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota
vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as

you read this information.

■

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Require-
ments in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found
where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

■

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-
fied government test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)

times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual condi-

tions of their use. Performance may differ significantly from the norm

due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences

in road characteristics and climate.

■

Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,
and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking

(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn-

ing) traction.

■

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing
the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi-
pate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to

degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead

to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger

car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-

dard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo-

ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly

inflated and not overloaded.

Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-

rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire

failure.

Composition du système de coussins gonflables SRS

C-HR_OM_USA_OM10684U

Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES
INTELLIGENTS (ADVANCED AIRBAGS) conçus selon les normes de
sécurité américaines applicables aux véhicules à moteur
(FMVSS208). Le boîtier électronique de coussins gonflables (ECU)
utilise les informations reçues des capteurs, etc. détaillés dans le
schéma ci-dessus de composition du système pour commander le
déploiement des coussins gonflables. Ces informations comprennent
des informations sur la gravité de la collision et les occupants. Le
déploiement rapide des coussins gonflables est obtenu au moyen
d’une réaction chimique dans les dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui
produit un gaz inoffensif permettant d’amortir le mouvement des
occupants.

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

Respectez les précautions suivantes concernant les coussins gonflables
SRS.
À défaut, des blessures graves, voire mortelles, pourraient s’ensuivre.

●

Le conducteur et tous les passagers à bord du véhicule doivent porter leur
ceinture de sécurité correctement.
Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des dispositifs de protection
complémentaires aux ceintures de sécurité.

●

Le coussin gonflable SRS conducteur se déploie avec une puissance
considérable et peut occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles,
notamment lorsque le conducteur se trouve très près du coussin
gonflable. L’autorité fédérale chargée de la sécurité routière aux
États-Unis, la NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
conseille:
Sachant que la zone de danger pour le coussin gonflable conducteur se
trouve dans les premiers 2 à 3 in. (50 à 75 mm) du déploiement,
placez-vous à 10 in. (250 mm) du coussin gonflable conducteur pour
garantir une marge de sécurité suffisante. Cette distance est à mesurer
entre le moyeu du volant de direction et le sternum. Si vous êtes assis à
moins de 10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre position de
conduite de plusieurs façons:
• Reculez votre siège le plus possible, tout en continuant à pouvoir

atteindre confortablement les pédales.

• Inclinez légèrement le dossier du siège.

Bien que les véhicules soient différents les uns des autres, la plupart
des conducteurs peuvent s’asseoir à une distance de 10 in. (250 mm),
même avec le siège conducteur complètement avancé, simplement en
inclinant un peu le dossier de siège. Si vous avez des difficultés à voir
la route après avoir incliné votre siège, utilisez un coussin ferme et
antidérapant pour vous rehausser ou, si votre véhicule est équipé du
réglage en hauteur du siège, remontez-le.

• Si votre volant de direction est réglable, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela

vous permet d’orienter le coussin gonflable vers votre buste plutôt que
vers la tête et le cou.

Le siège doit être réglé selon les recommandations de la NHTSA
ci-dessus, tout en conservant le contrôle des pédales et du volant, et la
vue des commandes au tableau de bord.

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

●

Le coussin gonflable SRS passager avant se déploie également avec une
puissance considérable et peut occasionner des blessures graves, voire
mortelles, notamment lorsque le passager avant se trouve très près du
coussin gonflable. Le siège du passager avant doit se trouver le plus loin
possible du coussin gonflable et le dossier doit être réglé de manière à ce
que le passager avant soit assis bien droit.

●

Le déploiement d’un coussin gonflable peut infliger des blessures graves,
voire mortelles, aux nourrissons et aux enfants mal assis et/ou mal
attachés. Installez dans un siège de sécurité enfant les enfants trop jeunes
pour pouvoir utiliser la ceinture de sécurité. Toyota recommande vivement
que tous les nourrissons et enfants soient installés dans les sièges arrière
du véhicule et convenablement attachés. Les sièges arrière sont plus sûrs
pour les nourrissons et les enfants que le siège passager avant.

●

N’installez jamais un siège de sécurité enfant type dos à la route sur le
siège passager avant, même si le témoin indicateur “AIR BAG OFF” est
allumé. En cas d’accident, la force exercée par le déploiement rapide du
coussin gonflable passager avant peut causer des blessures graves, voire
mortelles à un enfant, si le siège de sécurité enfant type dos à la route est
installé sur le siège passager avant.

●

Si vous attachez une rallonge de
ceinture de sécurité aux boucles des
ceintures de sièges avant, mais pas au
pêne de la ceinture de sécurité
proprement

dite,

les

coussins

gonflables SRS frontaux déterminent
que le conducteur et le passager avant
portent leur ceinture de sécurité, alors
même qu’elle n’est pas attachée. Dans
ce cas, les coussins gonflables SRS
frontaux risquent de ne pas se déployer
correctement en cas de collision,
causant des blessures graves, voire
mortelles. Veillez à porter la ceinture de
sécurité avec la rallonge de ceinture de
sécurité.

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

●

Ne pas s’asseoir sur le bord du siège et
ne pas s’appuyer contre la planche de
bord.

●

Ne pas laisser un enfant rester debout
devant le coussin gonflable SRS
passager avant ni assis sur les genoux
du passager avant.

●

Ne pas laisser les occupants des sièges
avant voyager avec un objet sur les
genoux.

●

Ne pas s’appuyer contre la porte, contre
le rail latéral de toit ou contre les
montants avant, latéraux et arrière.

●

Ne laissez personne s’agenouiller face
à la portière sur les sièges du passager
ou sortir la tête ou les mains à
l’extérieur du véhicule.

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

●

Ne rien fixer ou disposer sur la planche
de bord, la garniture centrale du moyeu
de volant de direction et la partie
inférieure du tableau de bord.
Au

déploiement

des

coussins

gonflables SRS conducteur, passager
avant et genoux pour le conducteur,
tout objet risque de se transformer en
projectile.

●

Ne rien fixer aux parties telles que la
porte, la vitre de pare-brise, la vitre
latérale, le montant avant et arrière, le
rail latéral de toit et la poignée de
maintien.

●

Véhicules dépourvus de système
d’accès et de démarrage “mains libres”:
Ne pas attacher à la clé des objets
lourds, pointus ou très durs, comme
d’autres clés par exemple. Ces objets
risquent d’entraver le déploiement du
coussin gonflable SRS de genoux pour
le conducteur ou d’être projetés vers le
siège conducteur par la force de
déploiement, constituant ainsi un
danger potentiel.

Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS

●

Si un cache en vinyle recouvre la partie où le coussin gonflable SRS de
genoux pour le conducteur se déploie, veillez à l’enlever.

●

N’utilisez pour les sièges aucun accessoire venant recouvrir les parties où
se déploient les coussins gonflables SRS latéraux et le coussin gonflable
SRS d’assise de siège, car il risquerait de gêner le déploiement des
coussins gonflables SRS. De tels accessoires peuvent empêcher les
coussins gonflables latéraux et d’assise de siège de s’activer
correctement, neutraliser le système ou provoquer le déploiement
accidentel des coussins gonflables latéraux et d’assise de siège,
provoquant ainsi des blessures graves, voire mortelles.

●

Ne pas faire subir de chocs violents ni des pressions excessives aux
parties renfermant les composants des coussins gonflables SRS, ni aux
portes avant.
En effet, cela pourrait entraîner un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins
gonflables SRS.

●

Ne touchez aucun composant du système immédiatement après le
déclenchement (déploiement) des coussins gonflables SRS, car ils sont
alors encore très chauds.

●

Si vous avez des difficultés à respirer après le déploiement des coussins
gonflables SRS, ouvrez une porte ou une vitre pour faire entrer de l’air
frais, ou bien descendez du véhicule si cela ne présente pas de danger.
Retirez tout résidu dès que possible afin d’éviter d’éventuelles irritations
de la peau.

●

Si les parties renfermant les coussins gonflables SRS, telles que la
garniture centrale du volant de direction et les garnitures de montants
avant et arrière, apparaissent abîmées ou craquelées, faites-les remplacer
par votre concessionnaire Toyota.

●

Ne rien poser sur le siège du passager avant, comme un coussin par
exemple. Cela a pour conséquence de répartir le poids du passager sur
toute la surface du siège, ce qui empêche le capteur de détecter
normalement le poids du passager. En conséquence, les coussins
gonflables SRS frontaux du passager avant peuvent ne pas se déployer
en cas de collision.
