◆Installing child restraint system using a seat belt
Install the child restraint system in accordance to the operation
manual enclosed with the child restraint system.
Front seat
Adjust the seatback angle to the most upright position. Move the
front seat fully rearward. ( P. 218)
When it is unavoidable to install a rear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat, a child restraint system can be
installed if the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp is lit.
If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system,
and the head restraint can be removed, remove the head
restraint. Otherwise, put the head restraint in the upper most
position. ( P. 223)
Rear seat
If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system,
and the head restraint can be removed, remove the head
restraint. Otherwise, put the head restraint in the upper most
position. ( P. 223)
Run the seat belt through the
child restraint system and
insert the plate into the
buckle. Make sure that the
belt is not twisted. Securely
fix the seat belt to the child
restraint system in accor-
dance to the directions
enclosed with the child
restraint system.

Interior features
■Automatic Emergency Calls
If any airbag deploys, the system is designed to automatically call
the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.* The answering operator
receives the vehicle’s location, the time of the incident and the vehi-
cle VIN, and attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to
assess the situation. If the occupants are unable to communicate,
the operator automatically treats the call as an emergency and con-
tacts the nearest emergency services provider (112 system etc.) to
describe the situation and request that assistance be sent to the
location.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 523)
■Manual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency, press the “SOS” button to call the
ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center.* The answering operator will
determine your vehicle’s location, assess the situation, and dis-
patch the necessary assistance required.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” button, tell the operator that you are
not experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 523)

WARNING
■For your safety
● Please drive safely.
The function of this system is to assist you in making the Emergency Call
in case of accidents such as traffic accidents or sudden medical emergen-
cies, and it does not protect the driver or passengers in any way. Please
drive safely and fasten your seatbelts at all times for your safety.
● In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
● If you smell anything burning or other unusual smells, leave the vehicle
and evacuate to a safe area immediately.
● Since the system detects shocks, the automatic reporting may not always
occur synchronized with the operation of the airbag system. (If the vehicle
is struck from behind, etc.)
● For safety, do not make the Emergency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may caus e mishandling of the steering wheel,
which may lead to unexpected accidents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your surroundings before mak-
ing the Emergency Call.
● When changing fuses, please use the specified fuses. Using other fuses
may cause ignition or smoke in the circuit and lead to a fire.
● Using the system while there is smoke or an unusual smell may cause a
fire. Stop using the system immediately and consult any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage
Do not pour any liquids onto the “SOS” button panel, etc. and do not impact
it.
■ If the “SOS” button panel, speaker or microphone malfunctions during
an Emergency Call or manual maintenance check
It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls, confirm the system status,
or communicate with the ERA-GLONASS/EVAK control center operator. If
any of the above equipment is damaged, please consult any authorized
Toyota retailer, Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
5307-1. Maintenance and care
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
■Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■ Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keep-
ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■ Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
WARNING
■ Water in the vehicle
● Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components etc. to malfunction or catch
fire.
● Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet.
( P. 46)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect
off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.

When trouble arises
Fuel pump shut off system (gasoline engine only)
Follow the procedure below to restart the engine after the system is
activated.
Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles
without smart entry & start system) or ACCESSORY mode or off
(vehicles with smart entry & start system).
Restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or
when an airbag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off
system stops the supply of fuel to the engine.
NOTICE
■ Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
