  • If the tail lights are turned on when the surroundings are dark, the meter’s brightness will reduce slightly. However, when the surroundings are bright, such as during the daytime, the meter’s brightness will not be reduced even if the tail lights are turned on.
• Customization: The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display.

WARNING

• The information displayed at low temperatures
  • Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
  • For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.
• To prevent damage to the engine and its components
  • Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indicates the maximum engine speed.
  • The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. (P. 561)
• Voltmeter
  When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower while the engine is running, there may be a battery or charging system malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
• Engine oil pressure gauge
  • When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the engine is running, stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and check the amount of engine oil.
  • When the oil pressure drops even though the engine oil amount has not decreased, or if the oil pressure does not increase when engine oil is added, contact your Toyota dealer, as there may be a problem with the lubrication system.

• Blank screen (display off): Drive information is not displayed.

Using the mechanical key
To take out the mechanical key, slide the release lever and take the key out. The mechanical key can only be inserted in one direction, as the key only has grooves on one side. If the key cannot be inserted in a lock cylinder, turn it over and re-attempt to insert it. After using the mechanical key, store it in the electronic key. Carry the mechanical key together with the electronic key. If the electronic key battery is depleted or the entry function does not operate properly, you will need the mechanical key.

• When required to leave the vehicle’s key with a parking attendant Lock the glove box as circumstances demand.
  Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the electronic key only.
• If you lose your mechanical keys
  New genuine mechanical keys can be made by your Toyota dealer using another mechanical key and the key number stamped on your key number plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle.
• When riding in an aircraft
  When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying an electronic key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
• Electronic key battery depletion
  • The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
  • If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine stops.
  • As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. (P. 494)
    1. The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.
    2. The detection area becomes smaller.
    3. The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
  • To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 3 ft. (1 m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
    • TVs
    • Personal computers
    • Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
    • Table lamps
    • Induction cookers
  • Replacing the key battery

NOTICE

• To prevent key damage
  • Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
  • Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for long periods of time.
  • Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer, etc.
  • Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys close to such materials.
  • Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the electronic key.
  • Do not disassemble the keys.
  • Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as TVs, audio systems, and induction cookers.
  • Do not place the keys near medical electrical equipment such as low-frequency therapy equipment or microwave therapy equipment, and do not receive medical attention with the keys on your person.
• Carrying the electronic key on your person
  Carry the electronic key 3.9 in. (10 cm) or more away from electric appliances that are turned on. Radio waves emitted from electric appliances within 3.9 in. (10 cm) of the electronic key may interfere with the key, causing the key to not function properly.
• In case of a smart key system malfunction or other key-related problems
  Take your vehicle with all the electronic keys provided with your vehicle to your Toyota dealer.
• When an electronic key is lost
  If the electronic key remains lost, the risk of vehicle theft increases significantly. Visit your Toyota dealer immediately with all remaining electronic keys that were provided with your vehicle.
