For safety and security
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on  the  US  motor  vehicle  safety  standards  (FMVSS208).  The  airbag
sensor  assembly  (ECU)  controls  airbag  deployment  based  on  infor-
mation  obtained  from  the  sensors  etc.  shown  in  the  system  compo -
nents  diagram  above.  This  informat ion  includes  crash  severity  and
occupant  information.  As  the  airbags  deploy,  a  chemical  reactio n  in
the inflators quickly fills the  airbags with non-toxic gas to h elp restrain
the motion of t he occupants.
Front  bench  type  seat: The  SRS  airbags  are  designed  to  protect  the
driver and right front passenger, and they are not designed to  protect
an occupant in the front c enter seating position.

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful  substance  to  the  human  body  is  included  in  exhaust
gases if inhale.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to enter the vehicle a nd may lead
to an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death  or a serious
health hazard.
■ Important points while driving
● Double Cab and CrewMax models: Keep the back window closed.
● Double Cab and CrewMax models: If you smell exhaust gases in th e vehi-
cle even when the back window is closed, open the windows and h ave the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● Toyota does not recommend occupying the rear cargo area when it  is fitted
with a slide-in camper, camper shell or other type cover while  the engine is
running. This caution applies to both driving and stopped or pa rked situa-
tions  with  the  engine  running.  Particular  care  should  be  taken  to  prevent
exhaust  gases  from  entering  camper  bodies,  trailers  or  other  enclosures
on  or  around  your  vehicle.  If  exhaust  fumes  are  detected,  open  all  win-
dows and thoroughly ventilate the area.
■ When parking
● If  the  vehicle  is  in  a  poorly  ventilated  area  or  a  closed  area,  such  as  a
garage, stop the engine.
● Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a long time.
If  such  a  situation  cannot  be  avoided,  park  the  vehicle  in  an  o pen  space
and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior .
● Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up,  or where it
is  snowing.  If  snowbanks  build  up  around  the  vehicle  while  the  engine  is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.
■ Exhaust pipe
The  exhaust  system  needs  to  be  checked  periodically.  If  there  is  a  hole  or
crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be
sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Toyota dealer. 

2214-4. Refueling
4
Driving
After  refueling,  turn  the  fuel  tank
cap  until  you  hear  a  click.  Once
the  cap  is  released,  it  will  turn
slightly in the opposite direction.
■Fuel types
(
P. 601)
■ E85 Fueling Stations (Flex-fuel vehicles)
E85  fueling  stations  and  fuel  pumps  can  be  identified  by  the  in dication  “E85
85% Ethanol”. For more information about fueling stations, plea se refer to the
U.S. Department of Energy Web site.
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations/
■ Refueling (Flex-fuel vehicles)
Observe the following precautions when switching fuels, in order to maintain
starting and driving performance.
●Do not change fuels when the fuel level is 1/4 or less.
● Always add at least 2.6 gal. (10 L) of fuel.
● After filling up with fuel, warm up the engine or drive the vehicle for at least 5
minutes or 7 miles (11 km).
● Do not accelerate rapidly immediately after refueling.
■ Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To  help  prevent  incorrect  fueling,  your  vehicle  has  a  fuel  tank   opening  that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
■ Closing the fuel tank cap
Tighten the fuel tank cap until 1 click is heard. Otherwise a m alfunction indica-
tor lamp may come on.

Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
● Do not use the following types of detergent, as they may discol or the vehi-
cle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat  portions:  Organic  substances  such  as  benzene  or  gasol ine,
alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene,  and alcohol
● Do  not  use  polish  wax  or  polish  cleaner.  The  instrument  panel’s   or  other
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
■ Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe  the  following  precautions  to  avoid  damage  to  and  deterioration  of
leather surfaces:
● Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
● Do  not  expose  the  vehicle  to  direct  sunlight  for  extended  perio ds  of  time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
● Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the uphol-
stery,  as  they  may  stick  to  the  leather  surface  if  the  vehicle  interior  heats
up significantly.
■ Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if wate r comes
into contact with electrical components such as the audio syste m above or
under the floor of the vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust.
■ When  cleaning  the  inside  of  the  windshield  (vehicles  with  Toyota
Safety Sense P)
Do  not  allow  glass  cleaner  to  contact  the  lens. Also,  do  not  to uch the lens.
( P. 226)
■ Cleaning the inside of the back window
● Do  not  use  glass  cleaner  to  clean  the  back  window,  as  this  may  cause
damage to the back window defogger heater wires. Use a cloth da mpened
with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the w indow in
strokes running parallel to the heater wires.
● Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires.

NOTICE
■Notice on fuel quality
● Do  not  use  improper  fuels.  If  improper  fuels  are  used,  the  engi ne  will  be
damaged.
● Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded  gasoline  can  cause  damage  to  your  vehicle’s  three-way  ca talytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.
● Gasoline  engine:  Do  not  use  gasohol  other  than  the  type  previou sly
stated.
Other  gasohol  may  cause  fuel  system  damage  or  vehicle  performan ce
problems.
● Using  unleaded  gasoline  with  an  octane  number  or  rating  lower  than  the
level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.
■ When use of non-specified fuels (Flex-fuel engine)
The  use  of  non-specified  fuels  will  have  a  negative  impact  on  s tarting  and
driving  performance,  and  will  cause  damage  to  the  fuel  system  c ompo-
nents. Therefore, do not add fuels such as the following.
● Fuels containing methanol
● Fuels with more than 85% ethanol
■ Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine k nocking, etc.) is
encountered  after  using  a  different  type  of  fuel,  discontinue  the  use  of  that
type of fuel.
■ When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.
