WARNING
The seat belts are designed to protect 
persons of average adult height and 
weight. A child which is 150 cm or 
shorter should be sat in an appropri-
ately sized child restraint system, 
such as a Toyota genuine child

gerous for the following reasons:
●When the vehicle is parked under 
direct sunlight, the temperature 
inside the vehicle can increase to 
over 50°C, even in winter. In this sit-
uation, occupants may suffer from 
dehydration or heatstroke.
●If a switch is operated accidentally, 
it may lead to unexpected injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open and 
close the doors. When closing a 
door, be careful so that the child’s 
hands and feet to not get caught in 
the door.
●Do not allow a child to put their 
head or limbs out of the door win-
dow and be sure that they are clear 
of the window before operating the 
power window switch.

When the ambient conditions are 
dry, Launch Control permits opti-
mised acceleration on a road sur-
face that offers plenty of grip.
Use of Launch Control causes pre-
mature component wear, as the

high stresses and loads.
Do not use Launch Control when 
running in, see page 266.
When starting with Launch Control, 
do not turn the steering wheel.
Launch Control is available when
