● Toyota Safety Sense 
● Cruise control system 
● Anti-lock brake system 
● SRS airbag system 
● Seat belt pretensioner system 
Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized

removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer before
you scrap your vehicle.
