WARNING

■

The information display 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 personal death or injury.

NOTICE

■

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. (

Caution for use while driving

●

When  operating  the  multi-information  display  while  driving,  pay  extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.

●

Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as
you  may  fail  to  see  pedestrians,  objects  on  the  road,  etc.  ahead  of  the

Failure to do so may result in a door opening and an occupant throwing out
of the vehicle, resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Ensure that all doors are properly closed and locked.

●

Do not pull the inside handle of the doors while driving. 
Be especially careful for the front doors, as the doors may be opened even
if the inside lock buttons are in locked position.

●

Double Cab models only: Set the rear door child-protector locks when chil-
dren are seated in the rear seats.

Note for the entry function

●

Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near

the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instrument panel or floor, or in the console

box or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch modes are
changed.

●

Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.

●

As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●

Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the electronic key is near the window.

●

The  doors may unlock or lock  if a  large  amount  of water  splashes on  the
door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash, when the electronic key is
within  the  effective  range.  (The  doors  will  automatically  be  locked  after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)

●

If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic
key  is  near  the  vehicle,  there  is  a  possibility  that  the  door  may  not  be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)

●

Touching the door lock or unlock sensor while wearing gloves may prevent
lock  or  unlock  operation.  Remove  the  gloves  and  touch  the  lock  sensor
again.

●

When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition sig-
nals  will  be  shown  up  to  two  consecutive  times. After  this,  no  recognition
signals will be given.

●

If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the
following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the

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

• Set  the  electronic  key  to  battery-saving  mode  to  disable  the  smart  key

system. (



P. 133)

●

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis-
play and a buzzer will sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock
all the doors.

136

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

●

The  lock  sensor  may  not  work  properly  if  it  comes  into  contact  with  ice,
snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again, or
use the lock sensor on the lower part of the door handle.

●

If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped. 

●

A sudden handle operation or a handle operation immediately after entering
the effective range may prevent the doors from being unlocked. Touch the
door unlock sensor and check that the doors are unlocked before pulling the
door handle again.

●

Fingernails may scrape against the door during operation of the door han-
dle. Be careful not to injure fingernails or damage the surface of the door.

■

Note for the unlocking function

●

Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.

●

A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the
doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the origi-
nal position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle
again.

●

If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly
longer to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.

■

When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods

●

To prevent theft  of the vehicle, do not  leave the  electronic  key within 6  ft.
(2 m) of the vehicle.

●

The smart key system can be deactivated in advance. (

P. 562)

■

To operate the system properly

●

Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get
the electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from
the outside of the vehicle.

●

Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the
key may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly.
(The alarm may go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention function may
not operate.)
