■ Before programming HomeLink®

● During programming, it is possible that garage doors, gates, or

other devices may operate. For this reason, make sure that peo-

ple and objects are clear of the garage door or other devices to

prevent injury or other potential harm.

● It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote

control transmitter for more accurate programming.

● Garage door opener motors manufactured after 1995 may be

equipped with rolling code protection. If this is the case, you may

need a stepladder or other sturdy, safe device to reach the

“Learn” or “Smart” button on the garage door opener motor.

■ Codes stored in the HomeLink® memory

● The registered codes are not erased even if the battery cable is discon-

nected.

● If learning failed when registering a different code to a HomeLink® button

that already has a code registered to it, the already registered code will not

be erased.

■Before programming

● Install a new battery in the transmitter.

● The battery side of the transmitter must be pointed away from the

HomeLink.

Calibrating the compass

The direction display deviates from the true direction determined by

the earth’s magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according to

the geographic position of the vehicle.

If you cross over a map boundary shown in illustration, the compass will

deviate.

To obtain higher precision or perfect calibration, refer to the following.

■ Deviation calibration

1

Stop the vehicle.

2

Press and hold the switch for

6 seconds.

A number (1 to 15) appears on

the compass display.

3

Press the switch and, referring to the map above, select the num-

ber of the zone where you are.

If the direction is displayed several seconds after adjustment, the cali-

bration is complete.

■ Circling calibration

1

Stop the vehicle in a place where it is safe to drive in a circle.

2

Press and hold the switch for

9 seconds.

“C” appears on the compass

display.

Drive the vehicle at 5 mph (8

3

km/h) or less in a circle until

a direction is displayed.

If there is not enough space to

drive in a circle, drive around the

block until the direction is dis-

played.

■Conditions unfavorable to correct operation

6

The compass may not show the correct direction in the following conditions:

● The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.

● The vehicle is on an inclined surface.

● The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to inter-

ference by artificial magnetic fields (underground car park/parking lot, under

a steel tower, between buildings, roof car park/parking lot, near an intersec-

tion, near a large vehicle, etc.).

● The vehicle has become magnetized.

(There is a magnet or metal object near the inside rear view mirror.)

● The battery has been disconnected.

● A door is open.

WARNING

■ While driving the vehicle

Do not adjust the display. Adjust the display only when the vehicle is

stopped.

■When doing the circling calibration

Secure a wide space, and watch out for people and vehicles in the neigh-

borhood. Do not violate any local traffic rules while performing circling cali-

bration.

NOTICE

■ To avoid compass malfunctions

Do not place magnets or any metal objects near the inside rear view mirror.

Doing this may cause the compass sensor to malfunction.

■ To ensure normal operation of the compass

● Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the

earth’s magnetic field is subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields.

● During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon roof, power win-

dows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.

7-1. Maintenance and care

Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior

Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in

prime condition:

● Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle

body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt

and dust.

● Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a

chamois.

● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughly

with water.

● Wipe away any water.

● Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.

If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle

body is cool.

■Automatic car washes

● Before washing the vehicle:

• Fold the mirrors

• Turn off the power back door (if equipped)

Start washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors

before driving.

● Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and

harm your vehicle’s paint.

● Rear spoiler may not be washable in some automatic car washes.

There may also be an increased risk of damage to vehicle.

■ High pressure car washes

● Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of

the windows.

● Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is

closed properly.

■ When using a car wash (vehicles with smart key system)

● If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-

tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a posi-

tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being

washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)

● If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet

during a car wash, a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the

alarm, lock all the doors.

7-1. Maintenance and care

541

■ Aluminum wheels (if equipped)

● Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent.

● Wash detergent off with water immediately after use.

● To protect the paint from damage, make sure to observe the following pre-

cautions.

• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive detergent

• Do not use hard brushes

• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driv-

ing or parking in hot weather

■ Bumpers

Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

WARNING

■ When washing the vehicle

Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may

cause the electrical components etc. to catch fire.

■ Precautions regarding the exhaust pipes

Exhaust gases cause the exhaust pipes to become quite hot.

When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipes until they have

cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes can cause burns.

■ Precautions regarding the Blind Spot Monitor (if equipped)

If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may mal-

function. If this occurs, consult your Toyota dealer.

7-1. Maintenance and care

NOTICE

■ To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and compo-

nents (aluminum wheels etc.)

● Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:

• After driving near the sea coast

• After driving on salted roads

• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface

• If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on the

paint surface

• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust,

iron powder or chemical substances

• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud

• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint surface

● If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.

● To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place

with low humidity when storing the wheels.

■ Cleaning the exterior lights

● Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a hard brush.

This may damage the surfaces of the lights.

● Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the lights.

Wax may cause damage to the lenses.

■When using a high-pressure car wash

● When washing the vehicle, do not let water from the high-pressure washer

directly hit the camera (if equipped) or the area around the camera. Due to

the shock from high-pressure water, it is possible that the device may not

operate normally.

● Do not bring the nozzle tip close to boots (rubber or resin manufactured

cover), connectors or the following parts.

The parts may be damaged if they come into contact with high-pressure

water.

• Traction related parts

• Steering parts

• Suspension parts

• Brake parts
