CAUTION
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury.
Wearing a seat belt
Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
Always wear a seat belt properly.
Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt
for more than one person at once, including children.
Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always
use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat-
ing position. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
Seat belt pretensioners
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the seat belt
pretensioner for the front passenger’s seat may not activate in the event of
a collision.
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In
that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.

Auto anti-glare inside rear view mirror
In auto mode, sensors are used to detect the headlights of vehi-
cles behind and automatically reduce the reflected light.

Adjusting the height of the rear view mirror
Adjust the height of the rear view
mirror by moving it up and down.
To prevent sensor error (vehicles with auto anti-glare inside rear view
mirror)
CAUTION
While driving
Do not adjust the position of the mirror while driving.
Doing so may lead to mishandling of the vehicle and an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
To ensure that the sensors operate prop-
erly, do not touch or cover them.

Intrusion sensor and tilt sensor (if equipped)
The intrusion sensor detects an intruder or movement in the vehi-
cle.
The tilt sensor detects changes in vehicle inclination, such as when
the vehicle is towed away.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor can be canceled using the cancel
switch.
Canceling the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
Turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch off and press the
intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
cancel switch.
A message will be shown on the
multi-information display in the
instrument cluster.
The intrusion sensor and tilt sen-
sor will revert to on each time the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to ON mode.
System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type alarm system.

Alarm-operated door lock
When the alarm is operating, the doors are locked automatically to pre-
vent intruders.
Do not leave the key inside the vehicle when the alarm is operating, and
make sure the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing
the battery.
Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt
sensor
The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
are canceled.
After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch or unlocking the doors using the entry
function or wireless remote control will re-enable the intrusion sensor and
tilt sensor.
When the alarm system is set again, the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
will be set.

Intrusion sensor considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
People or pets are in the vehicle.
A window or the moon roof is open. In
this case, the sensor may detect the fol-
lowing:
• Wind or the movement of objects
such as leaves and insects inside
the vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from
devices such as the intrusion sen-
sors of other vehicles
• The movement of people outside
the vehicle
Unstable items, such as dangling
accessories or clothes hanging on the
coat hooks, are in the vehicle.
The vehicle is parked in a place where
extreme vibrations or noises occur,
such as in a parking garage.

The vehicle is inside an automatic or high-pressure car wash.
The vehicle experiences impacts, such as hail, lightning strikes, and
other kinds of repeated impacts or vibrations.
Tilt sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
Any of the tires loses air pressure.
The vehicle is jacked up.
An earthquake occurs or the road caves in.
Cargo is loaded onto or unloaded from the roof luggage carrier.
Ice or snow is removed from the vehi-
cle, causing the vehicle to receive
repeated impacts or vibrations.
