1-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and
rear pillars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean anything against areas such as the
dashboard or steering wheel pad. These items can become projec-tiles when the SRS driver and front
passenger airbags deploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield, side window, front or rear pillar, roof side
rail and assist grip. (Except for the speed limit label →P.329)
●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere
with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the SRS side airbags from activating
correctly, disable the system or cause the SRS side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag components or the side doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS air- bags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-bags have deployed (inflated) as
they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after
the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it
is safe to do so. Wash off any resi- due as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.

■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

(inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags

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.

1-2. Child safety
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In the event that the rear seat cannot be
used, the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual on-off sys-tem is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause
serious injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is
not installed on the front passen- ger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off
system is set to “ON”. If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident,
which may result in serious injury or even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precau-
tions when children are in the
vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until
the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt.
z It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact with
the shift lever, wiper switch,
etc.
z Use the window lock switch to
avoid children opening the
door while driving or operating
the power window accidentally.
( →P.126)
zDo not let small children oper-
ate equipment which may
catch or pinch body parts,
such as the power window,
hood, back door, seats, etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi-
cle 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.
