bag system and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure

sures or special instructions regarding installation.

is scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as
they are, it may cause an accident such as a fire. Be

belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dis-
pose of your vehicle.
On −pavement and off −road
driving tips
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility
vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other
types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and maneuver
differently from an ordinary passenger car because it is
designed for off −road use also. In addition, this vehicle
has a higher ground clearance and center of gravity than
that of an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design
feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to
rollover. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing
death or serious injury. Be sure to read ”Off −road vehicle
precautions” in Section 2 and ”Off −road driving precautions”
in Section 3.
