Important information about your Toyota
Occupant restraint systems
Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to
read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms
of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum
benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle pro-
vides, Section 1 −3 of this Owner’s Manual is the most impor-
tant Section for you and your family to read.
Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concerning
seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint systems of
this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware
of. These systems work together along with the overall struc-
ture of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint in
the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced
when it is used properly and together with other systems. No
single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or
your family with the equal level of restraint which these sys-
tems can provide when used together. That is why it is im-
portant for you and your family to understand the purpose
and proper use of each of these systems and how they re-
late to each other.
The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help re-
duce the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of
a collision. None of these systems, either individually or to-
gether, can ensure that there is no injury in the event of
collision. However, the more you know about these systems
and how to use them properly, the greater your chances be-
come of surviving an accident without death or serious injury.
Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of
the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear
seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be
secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for
their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) air-
bags are, as their names imply, designed to work with, and
be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes for
them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing the risk
of head, chest and knee injuries by preventing contact of the
head, chest and knee with interior portions of the vehicle.

iv
In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with
tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS airbags
makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of
death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an
airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has
been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the time
of deployment. This is just one example of how the instruc-
tions in Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual will help ensure
proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase
the safety they can provide to you and your family in the
event of an accident.
Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section
1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time
of ownership of this vehicle.Event data recorder
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain
aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving
and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Besides storing
data useful for troubleshooting, there is a system to record
data in a crash or a near car crash event. This is called an
Event Data Recorder (EDR).
The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a
crash or a near car crash event, this device may record
some or all of the following information:
 Engine speed
 Whether the brake pedal was applied or not
 Vehicle speed
 To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
 Position of the transmission selector lever
 Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat
belts or not
 Driver’s seat position
 Front passenger’s occupant classification
 SRS airbag deployment data

Accessories, spare parts andmodification of your Toyota
A wide variety of non −genuine spare parts and accessories
for Toyota vehicles are currently available in the market. You
should know that Toyota does not warrant these products and
is not responsible for their performance, repair, or replace-
ment, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non −genuine Toyota
products. Modification with non −genuine Toyota products
could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may
even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or
performance problems resulting from the modification may not
be covered under warranty.
Spark ignition system of your
To y o t a
The spark ignition system in your Toyota meets all require-
ments of the Canadian Interference −Causing Equipment Stan-
dard.
Installation of a mobile twoway
radio system
As the installation of a mobile two −way radio system in your
vehicle could affect electronic systems such as multiport fuel
injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system,
electronic throttle control system, cruise control system, dy-
namic laser cruise control system, anti −lock brake system,
traction control system, vehicle stability control system, SRS
airbag system and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to
check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or
special instructions regarding installation.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling and disposal restrictions may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate.
These components may include airbag, seat belt pretension-
ers, and wireless remote control batteries.

viii
Smart key system
Users of any electrical medical devices such as implanted
pacemakers should consult the manufacturer of the device
for information about its operation under the influence of ra-
dio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical devices. For details, see
“Keys” on page 14 and “Smart key system” on page 27 in
Section 1−2.
Tires and loading on yourTo y o t a
Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and ex-
cess load may result in the deterioration of steering
ability and braking ability, leading to an accident.
Check the tire inflation pressure periodically and be
sure to stay with the load limits given in this Owner’s
Manual. For details about tire inflation pressure and
load limits, see pages 289 and 361.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your
Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped
with the airbags and pretensioners left as they are, this may
cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems
of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and
disposed of by the qualified service shop or by your Toyota
dealer before you dispose of your vehicle.
Leak detection pump
This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This
check is done approximately five hours after the engine is
turned off. So you may hear sound coming from underneath
the luggage compartment for several minutes. It does not
indicate a malfunction.

To select the unlocking linked with the
ignition switch:1. Close all doors and turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Shift the selector lever from “P” to the “N” position.
3. Within 10 seconds of turning the igni- tion switch to ON, press and hold the
driver’s side power door lock switch in
the unlock position for 5 seconds and
then release.
The doors will be locked and unlocked
to indicate that the function is set.
To cancel the function, do the above op-
eration again.
Move the lock knob to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
When the child −protector is locked, you
cannot open the rear door by the inside
door handle. We recommend using this
feature whenever small children are in the
vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle in an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
