Before driving
AVENSIS_EE (OM20B44E)
CAUTION
Child restraint precautions
A forward-facing child restraint system should 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.
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 air-
bags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death
or serious injury to the child.
Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by
the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If
it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child
in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
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.
When the child restraint system is not in use
Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is
not in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passenger compart-
ment.
If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk/luggage compartment. This will pre-
vent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden
swerve or accident.

NOTICE
Camera precautions
As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble
or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
Do not subject the camera to a strong impact.
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. If water
droplets, snow, or mud adhere to the lens, rinse with water and wipe with a
soft cloth. If the lens is extremely dirty, wash it with a mild cleanser and
rinse. Do not rub hard.
Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to
adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If the camera lens is scratched, it
cannot transmit a clear image.
When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the
camera or camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunction.
When replacing tires, please consult any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. If you
replace the tires, the area displayed on the screen may change.

EON (Enhanced Other Network) system (for traffic announcement
function)
If the RDS station (with EON data) you are listening to is not broadcasting a
traffic information program and the audio system is in the TA (traffic
announcement) mode, the radio will be switched automatically to a station
broadcasting a traffic information program in the EON AF list when traffic
information begins.
When the battery is disconnected
Stations presets are erased.
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.
Sedan: The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To main-
tain clear radio reception, do not attach metallic window tinting or other
metallic objects to the antenna wire mounted inside the rear window.
Wagon: The radio antennas are mounted inside the rear quarter window
and on the rear roof. To maintain clear radio reception, do not attach
metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the antenna wire
mounted inside the rear quarter window. The rear roof antenna can be
removed from the base by turning.
Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) radio
The optional radio antenna and tuner are necessary for the use of Digital
Audio Broadcast (DAB) radio.

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

CAUTION
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.
Do not touch any rough or sheared parts of the roof underside, as you may
injure yourself.

body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any
dirt and dust.
Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thor-
