Before starting the engine, perform
the necessary routine vehicle
checks. It is the owner’s responsi-
bility to perform routine vehicle
checks and any legally necessary
yearly inspections, according to any
local laws and regulations. For
details about inspection proce-
dures, refer to the Service Book
(Maintenance Guide).

Vehicle inspection
WARNING
Do not leave flammable objects in the
vehicle.
If a fuel can, combustible car care
products, spray cans, etc. are left in
the vehicle, there is a danger that
they may catch fire and explode. Also,
when the vehicle is parked with the
doors and windows completely
closed, do not leave containers of car-
bonated beverages in the vehicle, as
the temperature inside the vehicle
can increase to over 50°C, depending
on the location.
WARNING
Make sure to securely stow all lug-
gage.
In the case of sudden braking or a
collision, unsecured objects may fly
about and strike the occupants, possi-
bly causing injury. Make sure to stow
luggage securely in the luggage com-
partment when possible.
WARNING
Do not leave objects on the driver’s
side floor.

QUICK REFERENCE
There are blind spots around the
vehicle which cannot be seen
from the driver’s seat. Make sure
to check the area around the
vehicle for small children and low
WARNING
If an object gets stuck behind the
brake pedal, braking may be impossi-
ble and the accelerator pedal may not
return after being depressed, leading
to an extremely dangerous situation.
WARNING
Make sure that the floor mats are
securely installed.
Make sure to only use genuine Toyota
floor mats which are designed for this
model and secure them in place using
the provided fasteners. When the
floor mats have been removed, such
as when cleaning the vehicle, make
sure to securely install the floor mats
using the fasteners before driving the
vehicle.
If a floor mat which cannot be
installed securely, due to a damaged
fastener, etc., is used, it may shift
while driving and cover the accelera-
tor pedal, possibly depressing it and
causing an accident.
Additionally, never install two or more
floor mats on top of each other. Not
only will additional floor mats interfere
with normal operation of the pedals,
but there is a danger that a mat may
curl behind the brake pedal and pre-
vent it from being depressed.
WARNING
Be careful not to inhale exhaust
gases.
The exhaust includes colorless, odor-
less carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon
monoxide (CO) can be inhaled with-
out noticing and in the worst cases,
can cause death. Make sure to not
allow the engine to idle in a closed off
garage or other location with poor
ventilation.
If there is a hole or crack in the
exhaust system, caused by corrosion,
etc., exhaust gasses may enter the
vehicle while driving. If you smell
exhaust gasses in the vehicle, com-
pletely open all of the windows and
have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

pants, the vehicle is equipped with
two seat belts. However, they can
only provide effective protection
when worn correctly.
Before a journey, always make sure
that all occupants have fastened
their seat belts. The airbags sup-
plement the seat belts as an addi-
tional safety device. The airbags
are not a substitute for the seat
belts.
The belt anchorage is suitable for
adults of any stature if the seat is
adjusted correctly.General
Safety notes
WARNING
Never restrain more than one person
with each seat belt, otherwise the pro-
tective effect of the seat belt is no
longer guaranteed. There is a danger
of injury or even death. Only restrain
one person with each seat belt. Do
not allow infants and children to travel
on the lap of another occupant.
Instead, secure the infant or child in a
child restraint system intended for this
purpose.
WARNING
The protective function of the seat
belts may be limited or may even fail
completely if the seat belts are worn
incorrectly. If a seat belt is not worn
correctly, additional injuries can be
caused, for example in the event of
an accident or braking and evasive
manoeuvres. There is a danger of
injury or even death. Make sure that
all vehicle occupants have fastened
their seat belts correctly.
WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the body's skeleton and should be
worn low across the front of the pel-
vis, or lie against pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable. Do not route
the lap section of the belt across the
abdomen.
In order to provide the protection for
which they have been designed, the
seat belts should be adjusted to fit as
snugly as possible without being
uncomfortable. A slack belt will
greatly reduce the protection afforded
to the wearer.
Do not allow the seat belt webbing to
come into contact with polishes, oils
and chemicals and particularly battery
acid. It may be safely cleaned with a
mild soap water solution. Replace the
seat belt if the webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.
Seat belts should not be worn with
seat belt straps twisted. Each seat
belt assembly must only be used by
one occupant; carrying infants and
children on the occupant's lap is not
permitted.
It is essential to replace the entire belt
assembly if it was being worn by a
vehicle occupant when a severe
impact occurred, even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious.

CONTROLS
The most basic occupant protection
device is the seat belt. The airbags
are designed to supplement the
seat belts, not be used in place of
them. Wearing the seat belt cor-
rectly ensures that the occupants
are securely held in the seats and
helps prevent them from contacting
interior parts or being thrown from the vehicle in a collision. Therefore,
it is necessary for all occupants to
wear their seat belt. If a seat belt is
worn improperly, its effectiveness
as an occupant protection device
will be severely reduced. Pay atten-
tion to the following to ensure the
correct driving posture and use of
the seat belts.
Position the head restraint so that the center of it is at the same height
as the top of your ears
Make sure that the seat belt is not twisted
Adjust the seat so that your arms bend slightly at the elbow when grip-
ping the upper part of the steering wheel
Make sure that the seat belt is snug and not loose at any point
Position the lap belt as low as possible over the hips
Sit well back in the seat with the seatback uprightCorrect driving posture and use of the seat belts
