Advice
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact, the pretensioning device may be deployed before and independently of the airbags. Deployment of the pretensioners is accompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge incorporated in the system.In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced, by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:- be tightened as close to the body as possible,- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does not twist,- be used to restrain only one person,- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,- not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its performance.In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle's seat belts, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a Toyota dealer is able to provide.Have your seat belts checked regularly by an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or a textile cleaning product, sold by Toyota dealers.After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger is less than 12 years old or shorter than one and a half metres.Never use the same seat belt to secure more than one person.Never allow a child to travel on your lap.For more information on Child seats, refer to the corresponding section.
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they are all fastened before setting off.Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.Do not interchange the seat belt buckles as they will not fulfill their role fully.The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt is stowed automatically when not in use.Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt is reeled in correctly.The lower part of the strap must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis.The upper part must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation in the event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can release the device by pulling the strap firmly and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.

Deactivating the passenger front airbag
Only the passenger front airbag can be deactivated.
When the ignition is on, this warning lamp comes in the seat belt warning display screen. It stays on while the airbag is deactivated.
To assure the safety of your child, the passenger front airbag must be deactivated when you install a rear ward facing child seat on the front passenger seat.Other wise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were deployed.
Reactivating the passenger front airbag
When you remove the child seat, with the ignition off, turn the switch to the "ON" position to reactivate the airbag and so assure the safety of your front passenger(s) in the event of an impact.

If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional to have the system checked. The airbags may no longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
The lateral airbags are deployed unilaterally in
the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside towards the inside of the vehicle.The lateral airbag inflates between the abdomen and head of the front occupant of the vehicle and the corresponding door trim panel.
If fitted to your vehicle, this is a system which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest, between the abdomen and head.Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest frame, door side.F With the ignition off, insert the key in the passenger airbag deactivation switch.F Turn it to the "OFF" position.F Remove the key keeping the switch in the
new position.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.F To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature.In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
F If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights, refer to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically to avoid the audible signal if a genuine Toyota towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it is recommended that the engine be allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height, refer to the corresponding section.

F Turn the key to position 2, ignition on, to operate the engine pre-heating.
F Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel then operate the starter motor by turning the key to position 3 until the engine starts, without pressing the accelerator. Once the engine starts, release the key.
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. Depending on the climatic conditions, it is recommended that you proceed as follows:- In temperate conditions, do not run the engine with the vehicle stationary to warm it up, but rather move off straight away and drive at moderate engine speeds.- In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning lamp will stay on for a longer period after switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off before starting.- In ver y severe wintr y conditions (temperature below -23°C), to ensure the correct operation and durability of the mechanical components of your vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave the engine running for 4 minutes before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation: internal combustion engines emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. Danger of intoxication and death.
If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition.Wait a few moments before trying again. If the engine does not start after a few attempts, do not keep trying: you risk damaging the starter motor and the engine.Call on an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
