WARNING
■General precautions while driving 
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ- 
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impair ed your ability to operate your vehi- 
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay  reaction time, impair judgment and 
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury. 
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other 
drivers or pedestrians might make  and be ready to avoid accidents. 
Driver distraction: Always give your  full attention to driving. Anything that 
distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or 
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others. 
■ General precaution regarding children’s safety 
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to 
have or use the key. 
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. 
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with 
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or 
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions 
● Vehicles with SRS driver’s knee airbag: If a vinyl cover is put on the area 
where the SRS driver’s knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it. 
● Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side 
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such 
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable 
the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury. 
● Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air- 
bag components or the front doors. 
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction. 
● 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 airbags have 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.  
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel 
pad and front and rear pillar garni shes are damaged or cracked, have 
them replaced by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● Vehicles without a smart entry & start 
system and with SRS driver’s knee air- 
bag: Do not attach any heavy, sharp or
hard objects such as keys and accesso- 
ries to the key. The objects may restrict 
the SRS driver’s knee airbag inflation or
be thrust into the driver’s seat area by 
the force of the deploying airbag, thus 
causing a danger.

start system: Insert the key into

601-2. Child safety
C-HR_OM_Europe_OM10528E
Riding with children
●It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid acci- 
dental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch, etc. 
● Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to 
avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the 
power window accidentally. ( P. 161, 201) 
● Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or 
pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door,
seats, etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi-
cle. 
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the 
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to 
have or use the key. 
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. 
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with 
the side windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up
or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
