PRIUS +_OM_OM47D30E_(EE)The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec-
tronic systems such as:
●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
●Toyota Safety Sense
●Cruise control system
●Anti-lock brake system
●SRS airbag system
●Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer for precautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system.
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi-
tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is avail-
able on request at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the radio frequency transmitter
(RF-transmitter).

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain 
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be 
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner 
removed and disposed of by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer before you scrap your vehicle.

WARNING
■ General precautions while driving 
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ- 
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impair ed your ability to operate your vehi- 
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay  reaction time, impair judgment and 
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in 
death or serious injury. 
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other 
drivers or pedestrians might make  and be ready to avoid accidents. 
Driver distraction: Always give your  full attention to driving. Anything that 
distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or 
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, 
your occupants or others. 
■ General precaution regarding children’s safety 
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to 
have or use the key. 
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. 
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or 
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

For safe driving
Adjust the angle of the seat- 
back so that you are sitting 
straight up and so that you do 
not have to lean forward to 
steer. ( P. 187) 
Adjust the seat so that you can 
depress the pedals fully and so 
that your arms bend slightly at 
the elbow when gripping the
steering wheel. ( P. 187) 
Lock the head restraint in place with the center of the head restraint 
closest to the top of your ears. ( P. 199) 
Wear the seat belt correctly. ( P.  3 8 ) 
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv- 
ing the vehicle. ( P.  3 8 ) 
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child 
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.  
( P.  5 9 ) 
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside 
and outside rear view mirrors properly. ( P. 204, 206)
For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate 
position before driving.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
● Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving. 
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback. 
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint. 
● Do not place anything under the front seats. 
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci- 
dent and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged. 
● Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads. 
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to 
feel tired. 
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.
