For safety and security
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering 
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in 
death or serious injury. 
■ When installing the driver’s floor mat  
● Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year 
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats. 
● Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat. 
● Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro- 
vided. 
● Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other. 
● Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down. 
■ Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely 
fixed in the correct place with all the 
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be 
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor. 
● With the engine stopped and the shift 
lever in P (automatic transmission) or N
(manual transmission), fully depress 
each pedal to the floor to make sure it 
does not interfere with the floor mat.

HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust 
gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and 
odorless. Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to
an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious 
health hazard. 
■ Important points while driving 
If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle, open the windows and have the 
vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible. 
■ When parking 
● If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a 
garage, stop the engine. 
● Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time. 
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space 
and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior. 
● Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it 
is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is 
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. 
■ Exhaust pipe 
The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or 
crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be
sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

● Start the engine. (The alarm will be deactivated or stopped after a 
few seconds.)
■ System maintenance 
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type alarm system. 
■ Items to check before locking the vehicle 
To prevent unexpected triggering of the alarm and vehicle theft, make sure of 
the following: 
● Nobody is in the vehicle. 
● The windows are closed before the alarm is set. 
● No valuables or other personal items are left in the vehicle.
