CAUTION
■
Child restraint precautions
● Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event
of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag
can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child
restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.
● A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas-
senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that
requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat
since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat.
Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as
far back as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi-
nated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable
speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured.
● Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system
on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system
with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not
securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident.
● 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
rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy
even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if
the SRS side airbags 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 accident.

Jam protection function
● If an object is detected between a panoramic roof shade and the frame
while closing, travel is stopped and the panoramic roof shades open
slightly.
● When the jam protection function has operated, even if the “CLOSE” side
of the switch is pressed again, the shade will not move in the close direc-
tion until the reverse operation has stopped completely.
● Depending on the driving conditions and the surroundings, the pan-
oramic roof shades may collide with something and operate in reverse.
■ Door lock linked automatic close function
When the “POWER” switch is off, the panoramic roof shades will close auto-
matically if the vehicle is locked from the outside or from the inside using the
wireless remote control.
■ If the panoramic roof shades do not close normally
Perform the following operations.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
With the panoramic roof shades stopped, push and hold the
“CLOSE” side of the switch for 10 seconds or more (until the pan-
oramic roof shades have closed completely).
If the panoramic roof shades continue to close but then re-open slightly even
after performing the above procedure correctly, have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer.
■ Customization
The door lock linked automatic close function can be disabled.

CAUTION
■When closing the panoramic roof shades
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in 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 shades fully close.
■ To prevent burns or injuries
Do not touch the gaps between the underside of the roof and the panoramic
roof shades.
Your hand may get caught and you could injure yourself. Also, if the vehicle
is left in direct sunlight for a long time, the underside of the roof could
become very hot and could cause burns.
● Check to make sure that all passengers
do not have any part of their bodies in a
position where they could be caught
when the panoramic roof shades are
being operated.
● Do not allow children to operate the
panoramic roof shades.
Closing the panoramic roof shades on
someone can cause death or serious
injury.
