Essential Safety Equipment
WARNING
■Sit in the center of the seat and wear seat belts properly
Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them, or
sleeping up against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dan-
gerous. The side and curtain air bags inflate with great force and speed
directly expanding along the door on the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door or leaning against a
window, or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front seatbacks. Give
the side and curtain air bags room to work by sitting in the center of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.
■ Do not attach objects on or around the area where driver and front pas-
senger air bags deploy
Attaching an object to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or
placing something in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, an object
could interfere with air bag inflation and injure the occupants.
■ Do not attach objects on or around the area where a side air bag
deploys
Attaching objects to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard
side of the seat in any way is dangerous. In an accident the object could
interfere with the side air bag, which inflates from the outboard side of the
front seats, impeding the added protection of the side air bag system or
redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag
could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not hang net bags, map pouches or backpacks with side straps on the
front seats. Never use seat covers on the front seats. Always keep the side
air bag modules in your front seats free to deploy in the event of a sid\
e colli-
sion.
■ Do not attach objects on or arou nd the area where a curtain air bag
deploys
Attaching objects to the areas where the curtain air bag activates such \
as
on the windshield glass, side door glass, front and rear window pillars and
along the roof edge and assist grips is dangerous. In an accident the object
could interfere with the curtain air bag, which inflates from the front and rear
window pillars and along the roof edge, impeding the added protection of
the curtain air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is danger-
ous. Furthermore, the bag could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not place hangers or any other objects on the assist grips. When hang-
ing clothes, hang them on the coat hook directly. Always keep the curtain air
bag modules free to deploy in the event of a side collision or roll-over acci-
dent.

3-4. Switches and Controls
Windshield Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wipers.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown, overheating and possible fire by a circuit
breaker. This mechanism will automatically stop operation of the blades, but
only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and park off the right-of-way, and
remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should operate normally. If
they do not resume functioning, consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.
WARNING
■Use only windshield washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield, affect your visibility, and could result
in an accident.
■ Only use windshield washer fluid mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions
Using windshield washer fluid without anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.

3-10. Active Safety System
●The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is
deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering
wheel).
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the follow-
ing conditions.
• The engine is running.
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCB S) warning light (amber) does not
illuminate.
• The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.
• The DSC is not malfunctioning.
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector
of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently,
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following
conditions:
• Reflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.
• The vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used
when it’s raining.
• The windshield is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high profile.
• Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.
● Under the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) sys-
tem may not operate normally.
• Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.
• If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
• When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting
exits.
• Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser sensor.
• Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapor rising
from manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
• When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.
• When driving with tires having significantly different wear.

3-10. Active Safety System
WARNING
■Do not rely on the Smart City Br ake Support System (SCBS) as a sub-
stitute for safer driving
The Smart City Brake Support (SCB S) system cannot compensate for
unsafe and reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another
vehicle too closely), and driving on slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and
icy roads (reduced tire friction and road contact because of water on the
road surface). You can still have an accident.
■ Do not rely completely on the Sm art City Brake Support (SCBS) system
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision. Over reliance on the system leading to
the accelerator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly operated could
result in an accident.
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCB S) is a system which operates in
response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or
react to two-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
● The laser sensor for the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is
installed near the rearview mirror. To assure the correct operation of the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS), heed the following cautions.
• Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windshield near the laser
sensor (including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser sensor
may not be able to detect vehicles ahead which could result in an acci-
dent.
• Do not apply coating agent to the windshield. Otherwise, the laser sen- sor may not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions in front which
could result in an accident.
• Do not disassemble the laser sensor.
• If cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris is visible near
the laser sensor, stop using the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
system immediately and have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer. If the vehicle continues to be driven with cracks or scratch
marks left on the windshield near the laser sensor, the system may
operate unnecessarily and cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) System
Operation on P. 210.
• When replacing the windshield wipers or windshield, consult your Toyota dealer.
● The laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow on the windshield. In such
cases, the system cannot accurately determine a vehicle ahead and may
not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay attention to
the road ahead.

When Driving
Laser Sensor∗
Always keep the surface of the
windshield around the laser sen-
sor clean to assure proper opera-
tion of the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) system.
∗: If equipped
The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) laser sensor is installed at
the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.
WARNING
■ As there is the possibility of eye damage occurring from the laser,
always heed the following precautions
● Never remove the sensor.
● A removed sensor will not meet the conditions for a class 1M laser under
the IEC 60825-1 specification and therefore eye safety cannot be assured.
● Do not peer into the sensor using optical instruments with a magnification
function such as magnifying glasses, and microscopic and objective
lenses within a distance of 3.94 in. (100 mm) from the sensor.
