CAUTION
■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
●Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear
seat. This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be illuminated,
which indicates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in the event of
a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seat-
back to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the front\
passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving.
Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the
seat belt system.
● If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the AIR BAG ON indicator light
is illuminated. If the AIR BAG OFF indi cator is illuminated, ask the passen-
ger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the
seat belt worn correctly. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator still remains illumi-
nated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not
possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.
● When it is unavoidable to install the forward-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front
passenger seat in the proper order. ( →P. 133)
● Do not modify or remove the front seats.
● Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other-
wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the
detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately.
● Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the
front seatbacks.
● Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion or seat cover, that covers
the seat cushion surface.
● Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.

CAUTION
■
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS airbag warning light
not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems
are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in
death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
*6: In order to confirm operation, the BSM outside rear view mirror indi-
cators illuminate in the following situations:
• When the engine switch is turned to the ON position while the BSM main switch is set to ON.
• When the BSM main switch is set to ON while the engine switch is in the ON position.
If the system is functioning correctly, the BSM outside rear view mirror
indicators will turn off after a few seconds.
If the BSM outside rear view mirror indicators do not illuminate or do
not turn off, there may be a malfunction with the system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

When driving
■Automatic cancelation of constant speed control
The cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in the following sit-
uations:
● Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h)
below the set vehicle speed
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
● Vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)
● VSC is activated
● The operation cannot be switched for 5 seconds or more after operating
the front wheel drive control switch or the center differential lock switch.
(4WD models)
■ Laser radar sensor
■ Warning lights, messages and buzzers for dynamic laser cruise control
Warning lights, messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system mal-
function or to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving.
(→P. 480)
■ Certification
Always keep the sensor clean to ensure
that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol operates properly. (Some obstruc-
tions, such as snow, ice and plastic
objects, cannot be detected by the
obstruction sensor.)
Dynamic laser cruise control is canceled
if an obstruction is detected.
This product is a class I laser product complied with 21C.F.R part 1040.10
and 1040.11.

When driving
CAUTION
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic laser cruise control
Do not use dynamic laser cruise control in any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an acci-
dent resulting in death or serious injury.
●In heavy traffic
● On roads with sharp bends
● On winding roads
● On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
● On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up
and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
● At entrances to expressways
● When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sen-
sors from functioning correctly (fog, rain, snow, sandstorm, direct sunlight,
etc.)
● When an approach warning buzzer is heard often
● When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing
