1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
WARNING
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the air-bag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This
distance is measured from the center
of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10
in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as
you can while still reaching the ped- als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended above, while still main- taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front pas- senger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be
as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying air- bag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and
children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer
for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( →P. 4 5 )
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front
passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-
pants to hold items on their knees.

For safety and security
WARNING
●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering
wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per- form any of the following modifica-tions without consulting your Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The SRS air-bags may malfunction or deploy
(inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats
or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars, roof side rails, side door panels, side door trims or side door
speakers
●Modifications to the side door panel
(such as making a hole in it)
●Repairs or modifications of the front
fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant compartment
●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows or winches
●Modifications to the vehicle’s sus-pension system
●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-
transmitter) and CD players
Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful car-
bon monoxide (CO), which is color- less and odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to an accident caused by light-
headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open the windows and have
the vehicle inspected at any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti- lated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure that
exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks
build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the
vehicle.

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
Before driving
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless keys (that emit
radio waves) are being used nearby
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices
that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a
wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digi-
tal assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic content or
metallic objects are attached to the
rear window
●When the electronic key is placed
near a battery charger or electronic
devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a pay
parking spot where radio waves are
emitted
If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked
using the smart entry & start system,
lock/unlock the doors by performing any
of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to either
door handle and operate the entry
function.
●Operate the wireless remote control.
If the doors cannot be locked/unlocked
using the above methods, use the
mechanical key. (→P.339)
If the engine cannot be started using the
smart entry & start system refer to
P.340.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within
the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly
in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the
window or outside door handle, near
the ground, or in a high place when
the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru-
ment panel, luggage cover or floor, or
in the door pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch
modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top
of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle.
Depending on the radio wave recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the
door will become lockable from the
outside, possibly trapping the elec-
tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within
the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone. How-
ever, only the doors detecting the
electronic key can be used to unlock
the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside
the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the electronic key is near
the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a
large amount of water splashes on the
door handle, such as in the rain or in a
car wash when the electronic key is
within the effective range. (The doors
will automatically be locked after
approximately 30 seconds if the doors
are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used
to lock the doors when the electronic
key is near the vehicle, there is a pos-
sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use
the wireless remote control to unlock
the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock sen-
sor while wearing gloves may prevent
lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is performed
using the lock sensor, recognition sig-
nals will be shown up to two consecu-
tive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effec-
tive range, the door may lock and
unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to
