HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
For safety and security
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside 
and outside rear view mirrors properly. ( P. 228, 229)
Adjusting the mirrors
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
● Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving. 
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback. 
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce 
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint. 
● Do not place anything under the front seats. 
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat 
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged. 
● Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads. 
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to 
feel tired. 
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con- 
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

1-3. Theft deterrent system
HILUX_OM_OM0K322E_(EE)
For safety and security
Engine immobilizer system
Vehicles without smart entry & 
start system: 
The indicator light flashes after 
the key has been removed from 
the engine switch to indicate that 
the system is operating. 
The indicator light stops flashing 
after the registered key has been 
inserted into the engine switch to 
indicate that the system has been 
canceled.
: If equipped
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent 
the engine from starting if a key has not been previously regis- 
tered in the vehicle’s on-board computer.  
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehi- 
cle. 
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not 
guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts.
