(Customizable features: P. 577)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When closing the panoramic roof shades
■ Jam protection function
●Never try jamming any part of your body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally.
● The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
before the panoramic roof shades fully close.
■ To prevent burns or injuries
Do not touch the gaps between the underside of the roof and the panoramic
roof shades.
Your hand may get caught and you could injure yourself. Also, if the vehicle
is left in direct sunlight for a long time, the underside of the roof could
become very hot and could cause burns.
NOTICE
The panoramic roof is made of resin. Follow these precautions to prevent
damage to the roof.
●When cleaning the roof, use a mild soap and a soft cloth or sponge to
remove dirt, then wash clean with plenty of water. ( P. 411)
● When loading luggage onto the roof, make sure to use a roof rack
designed for this vehicle. ( P. 170)
●Check to make sure that all passengers
do not have any part of their bodies in a
position where they could be caught
when the panoramic roof shades are
being operated.
● Do not allow children to operate the
panoramic roof shades.
Closing the panoramic roof shades on
someone can cause death or serious
injury.

■Enhanced Roadside Assistance
Enhanced Roadside Assi stance adds GPS data to the already
included warranty-based Toyota roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” bu tton to reach a Safety Connect
response-center agent, who can help with a wide range of needs,
such as: towing, flat tire, fuel deli very, etc. For a description of the
Roadside Assistance services and their limitations, please see the
Safety Connect Terms and Conditions, which are available at
To y o t a . c o m .
Important! Read this informati on before using Safety Connect.
■Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power
radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure gui delines with safety levels for mobile wire-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards previously set by the fo llowing U.S. and international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Stan dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (Internationa l Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scientific lit erature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, and physicians from uni versities, and government health
agencies and industries reviewed t he available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.

Maintenance and care
■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
U.S.A.:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -31 F [-35 C])
Canada:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -44 F [-42 C])
For more details about coolant, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine/power control unit coolant reservoir
caps, drain cock and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap and check for
leaks in the cooling system.
WARNING
■When the hybrid system is hot
Do not remove the engine/power control unit coolant reservoir caps.
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The correct mixture of
water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion
protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■ If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
●N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’objets rigides sur les crochets porte-vête-
ments. Tous ces objets pourraient se transformer en projectiles et vous
occasionner des blessures graves, voire mortelles, en cas de déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS en rideau.
● Si un recouvrement de vinyle est placé sur la zone de déploiement du
coussin gonflable SRS de protection des genoux, veillez à le retirer.
● N’utilisez pas d’accessoires recouvrant les parties du siège où les cous-
sins gonflables SRS latéraux se déploient, car ces accessoires pourraient
entraver le déploiement des coussins gonflables. De tels accessoires peu-
vent empêcher les coussins gonflables latéraux de se déployer correcte-
ment, rendre le système inopérant ou provoquer accidentellement le
déploiement des coussins gonflables latéraux, occasionnant des blessu-
res graves, voire mortelles.
● Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez pas une pression importante à l’emplace-
ment des composants des coussins gonflables SRS.
Cela peut provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement des coussins gonflables
SRS.
● Ne touchez à aucun composant des coussins gonflables SRS immédiate-
ment après leur déploiement (gonflage), car ils pourraient être chauds.
●Ne fixez et n’appuyez rien sur des
zones telles que la planche de bord, le
tampon de volant ou encore la partie
inférieure du tableau de bord.
Ces objets peuvent se transformer en
projectiles lorsque les coussins gonfla-
bles SRS du conducteur, du passager
avant et de protection des genoux se
déploient.
● Ne fixez rien sur des zones telles que
les portières, le pare-brise, les glaces
de portières, les montants avant ou
arrière, le brancard de pavillon et la poi-
gnée de maintien.

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
●Si vous avez de la difficulté à respirer après le déploiement des coussins
gonflables SRS, ouvrez une portière ou une glace pour laisser entrer l’air,
ou quittez le véhicule si vous pouvez le faire en toute sécurité. Dès que
possible, nettoyez tous les résidus afin d’éviter les irritations cutanées.
● Si les emplacements de stockage des coussins gonflables SRS, tels que
le tampon de volant et les garnitures des montants avant et arrière, sont
endommagés ou fissurés, faites-les remplacer par votre concessionnaire
Toyota.
● Ne placez aucun objet, par exemple un coussin, sur le siège du passager
avant. Cela disperserait le poids du passager, ce qui empêcherait le cap-
teur de le détecter correctement. Cela pourrait empêcher le déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS du passager avant en cas de collision.
■ Modification et mise au rebut des composants du système de coussins
gonflables SRS
Ne mettez pas votre véhicule au rebut et n’effectuez aucune des modifica-
tions suivantes sans d’abord consulter votre concessionnaire Toyota. Les
coussins gonflables SRS pourraient fonctionner de manière incorrecte ou
se déployer (gonfler) accidentellement, ce qui serait susceptible d’occasion-
ner des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
● Installation, retrait, démontage et réparation des coussins gonflables SRS
● Réparations, modifications, retrait ou remplacement du volant, du tableau
de bord, de la planche de bord, des sièges ou du capitonnage des sièges,
des montants avant, latéraux et arrière, ou des brancards de pavillon
● Réparations ou modifications de l’aile avant, du pare-chocs avant ou du
côté de l’habitacle
● Installation d’une protection de calandre (barre safari, barre kangourou,
etc.), de lames de déneigement ou de treuils
● Modifications du système de suspension du véhicule
● Installation d’appareils électroniques tels qu’un émetteur-récepteur radio
ou un lecteur de CD
● Modifications à votre véhicule pour une personne aux capacités physiques
