CAUTION
SRS airbag precautions
Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS
airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad, are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: If the areas where the SRS

CAUTION
Using a child restraint system
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-
erly secure the infant or child, resulting in serious injury or even death.
Child restraint precautions
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system
depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is
not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci-
dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat when the airbag manual on-off switch is “ON”. (P. 167)
In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child.
A forward-facing child restraint system should be allowed to be installed
on the front passenger seat only when it is unavoidable. Always move the
seat as far back as possible, because the front passenger airbag could
inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be
killed or seriously injured.
Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not allow the child to lean
his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat from which the side airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the
child restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags inflate, and the
impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not allow the child to lean his/
her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the
seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rail from which the side airbags or
curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child
restraint system. It is dangerous if the side airbags and curtain shield air-
bags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the
child.

CAUTION
Roof luggage carrier precautions (if equipped)
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the roof rails with
two or more genuine Toyota cross rails or their equivalent.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions when installing the
cross rails or their equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier, observe the following:
Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front
and rear axles.
If loading long or wide cargo never exceed the vehicle overall length or
width.
Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof lug-
gage carrier.
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehi-
cle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden
braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly and result in
death or serious injury.
If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the
vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its
place.
Do not exceed 100 kg (221 lb.) cargo weight on the roof rails. However, if
the allowable cargo weight of the cross rails is under 100 kg (221 lb.)
observe the load limit and other instructions for the cross rails.

Reception sensitivity
Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the con-
tinually changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength
and surrounding objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
When is used, automatic station selection and automatic register-
ing of stations may not be possible.
The radio antenna is mounted on the rear roof.
The antenna can be removed from the base by turning it.
Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) radio
The optional radio antenna and tuner are necessary for the use of Digital
Audio Broadcast (DAB) radio.
NOTICE
To prevent damage, remove the antenna in the following cases
The antenna will touch the ceiling of a garage.
A cover will be put on the roof.
When driving through an automatic car wash.
Any other cases where there is a risk of touching surrounding parts.

CAUTION
When closing the panoramic roof shade
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their bod-
ies in a position where they could be caught when the panoramic roof
shade is being operated.
Do not allow children to operate the panoramic roof shade.
Closing the panoramic roof shade on someone can cause death or serious
injury.
Jam protection function
Never try jamming any part of your body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally.
The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the panoramic roof shade fully closes.
To prevent burns or injury
Observe the following precautions.
Although the jam protection function has been installed, make sure that
passenger’s hands and faces are not caught in the panoramic roof shade
while it is closing. Also, as there is a chance that the jam protection func-
tion will not react just before closing, make sure not to catch fingers etc. in
the roof.
The opening or closing of the panoramic roof shade can be stopped by
pressing the switch.
If the panoramic roof shade will not close (for example, due to a malfunc-
tion in the jam protection function), the shade can be closed by pressing
and holding the switch.
The jam protection function may operate if a load or impact, similar to that
applied when a foreign object is caught in the roof shade, is applied by
environmental or driving conditions.
The underside of the roof will become hot if the vehicle is left in the direct
sunlight for a long period of time. Do not touch the parts inside the gap
between the roof underside and the roof shade, as you may burn yourself.
