482 4-1. Maintenance and care
4RUNNER_U
■Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year
to maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■ Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a
sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use
water. Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by
keeping the carpet as dry as possible.
■ Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
CAUTION
■Water in the vehicle
● Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components etc. to malfunction or catch
fire.
● Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
(P. 115)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Cleaning the interior (esp ecially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect
off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.

Fuel pump shut off system
Follow the procedure below to restart the engine after the system is
activated.Vehicles without a smart key system Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
Restart the engine.
Vehicles with a smart key system
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off.

NOTICE
■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or when
an airbag inflates upon collision , the fuel pump shut off system
stops the supply of fuel to the engine.

Event data recorder
In a crash or near crash eventThe SRS airbag sensor assembly co ntains the EDR. In a crash or
near crash event, this device may record some or all of the following
information:
● Gasoline engine speed
● Whether the brake pedal was depressed or not
● Vehicle speed
● To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
● Position of the transmission shift lever
● Whether the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not
● Driver’s seat position
● SRS airbag deployment data
● SRS airbag system diagnostic data
● Front passenger’s occupant classification
The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of
improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders,
the EDR does not record sound data such as conversation between
passengers.
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain aspects
of your vehicle. These computers assi st in driving and maintaining
optimal vehicle performance.
Besides storing data useful for tr oubleshooting, there is an event
data recorder (EDR) that records data in a crash or near crash
event.

■SRS warning light
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag
sensors, side and curtain shield airbag sensors, curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, floor sensor, driver's seat belt buckle switch, front passenger occupant
classification system, SRS airbag on-off indicator, roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off indicator, front passenger's seat belt buckle switch, seat

sources. ( P. 115)
■ Key reminder buzzer (vehicl es without a smart key system)
The buzzer indicates that the key has not been removed with the engine off
and the driver’s door opened.
■ Open moon roof reminder buzzer (if equipped)
The buzzer indicates that the moon roof is not fully closed with the engine off
and the driver’s door opened.
■ Front passenger detection sensor, passenger seat belt reminder and
warning buzzer
● If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger
detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning
buzzer to sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
● If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passen-
ger, and the warning light may not operate properly.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
First check the following:
● Is the fuel tank empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.
● Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The light will go off after several driving trips.

Votre véhicule est équipé de SACS DE SECURITE GONFLABLES
INTELLIGENTS (ADVANCED AIRBAGS) conçus selon les normes
de sécurité américaines applicables aux véhicules à moteur
(FMVSS208). Le système de sacs de sécurité gonflables régule la
puissance de déploiement des sacs de sécurité gonflables
conducteur et passager avant. Le système de sac de sécurité
gonflable conducteur comprend le contacteur de boucle de ceinture
de sécurité conducteur, etc. Le système de sac de sécurité gonflable
passager avant comprend le capteur de classification des occupants
du siège passager avant, etc.
Les principaux éléments du système de sacs de sécurité gonflables
SRS sont illustrés ci-dessus. Le système des sacs de sécurité
gonflables SRS est commandé par un boîtier électronique. Ce boîtier
intègre un capteur de sécurité et un capteur de sac de sécurité
gonflable.
Lorsque la violence du choc frontal ou latéral l'exige, le système de
sacs de sécurité gonflables SRS déclenche les dispositifs
pyrotechniques de gonflage (générateurs de gaz). Le déploiement
rapide des sacs de sécurité gonflables est obtenu au moyen d'une
réaction chimique dans les dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un
gaz inoffensif permettant d'amortir le mouvement des occupants.
