For your information
Main Owner ’s Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all
equipment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explana−
tions for equipment not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of
printing. However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product
improvement, we reserve the right to
make changes at any time with−
out notice.
Depending on specificati
ons, the vehicle shown in the illustration may
differ from your vehicle in terms of equipment.
Accessories, spare parts and modification 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 prod ucts and is not responsible for
their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they
may cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Toyota vehi−
cle.
This vehicle should not be modi
fied with non−genuine Toyota prod−
ucts. 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.

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 the multiport fuel injection
system/sequential multiport fuel injection system, cruise control sys−
tem, anti−lock brake system, SRS airbag system and seat belt preten−
sioner system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for
precautionary measures or special instructions regarding installation.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two−way
radio.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pret ensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemic als. If the vehicle is scrapped with the air−
bags and seat belt 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 remov
ed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/
perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These
components may include airbag, seat
belt pretensioners, and wire−
less remote control batteries.

CAUTION
nGeneral precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ−
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi−
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to
an accident that will hurt or kill you,
your occupants or others.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis−
tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
nGeneral precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the cigarette lighter, the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build−up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the
vehicle can be fatal to children.
