1-7. Safety information
Front passenger occupant classification system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system. Using the sensors installed under the seat cover, the
system detects the conditions of the front passenger seat and acti-
vates or deactivates the frontal ai rbag for front passenger seat. The
occupant classification system may not inflate the front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal airbag
deploys. This is not a malfunction. If the seat belt buckle switch and/
or front passenger’s occupant classification system have failed, the
SRS warning light will illuminate. Have the system inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately if the SRS warning light illuminates.
If your vehicle has sust ained impact, this may affect the proper func-
tion of the Toyota advanced frontal airbag system. Immediately con-
tact your Toyota dealer and have your vehicle inspected. Do not use
the front passenger seat while driv ing to your Toyota dealer.

■After the engine starts
In order to secure a rich exhaust sound when starting the vehicle and envi-
ronmental performance, air intake and exhaust sounds become loud and
vibrations may increase for a little while after the engine starts. This is not a
malfunction.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( →P. 357)
■ REV indicator
WARNING
■When starting the vehicle (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
●Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
● Firmly depress the brake pedal because engine speed may increase
immediately after starting the engine, when the air conditioning system is
operating, when turning the steering wheel, etc., thereby causing creeping
to become stronger. Apply the parking brake as necessary.
When the set engine speed is reached
the REV indicator comes on and a buzzer
sounds to inform the driver. ( →P. 169)
(When the engine speed enters the red
zone, the REV indicator flashes regard-
less of settings.)

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.
■ Pre-winter preparations
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires.
Make sure to install 4 tires that are of the specified size, and that
all 4 tires are the same size, same maker, same brand and tread
pattern.
■Before driving the vehicle
Perform the following according to the driving conditions.
●Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is
frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice.
Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of th e climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents
in front of the windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have
accumulated on the exterior lights, vehicle's roof, chassis,
around the tires or on the brakes.
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle.
