Malfunction
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, you must contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.The airbags may not be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
WARNI NG
In the event of a minor impact or bump at the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.In the event of a rear or front collision, none of the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
WARNI NG
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below.Adopt a normal upright sitting position.Fasten the seat belt ensuring it is correctly positioned and adjusted.Do not leave anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), nor fix or attach anything close to or in the way of
the airbag release trajectory; this could cause injuries during their deployment.Do not place objects on the dashboard.
Never modify the original definition of your vehicle, particularly in the area directly around the airbags.After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen, have the airbag systems checked.All work on the airbag systems must only be performed by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.Even if all of the precautions mentioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out when an airbag is deployed. The airbag inflates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then deflates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose.
WARNI NG
Front airbagsDo not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.Do not fix or attach anything to the steering wheel or dashboard, as this could cause injuries when the airbags are deployed.
WARNI NG
Lateral airbagsUse only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment of the lateral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a TOYOTA dealer.Do not fix or attach anything to the seat backrests (clothes, etc.), as this could cause injuries to the thorax or arm when the lateral airbag is deployed.Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.The vehicle's front door panels include side impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or incorrectly executed work (modification or repair) on the front doors or their interior trim could compromise the operation of these sensors - risk of malfunction of the lateral airbags!Such work must only be done by a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.

With the conventional key / With the
remote control key
1.Stop position.
2.Ignition on position.
3.Starting position.
► Insert the key into the ignition switch. The system recognises the starting code.
► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously turning the steering wheel and the key.
NOTIC E
In certain circumstances, you may have to turn the steering wheel firmly to move the wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb, for example).
► Turn the key to position 2, Ignition On, to
activate the engine pre-heating system.► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the instrument panel, then turn the key to position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, to operate the starter motor until the engine starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the key.
NOTIC E
The warning lamp does not come on if the engine is already warm. In some climatic conditions, the following recommendations should be followed:– In mild conditions, do not leave the engine at idle to warm up but move off straight away and drive at moderate speed.– Depending on version, if the air conditioning is activated and the exterior
temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’s idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm, depending on the cooling requirements.
– 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 very severe wintry conditions (temperature below -23 °C), to ensure correct operation and durability of your vehicle’s mechanical components (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 poisoning and death!
NOTIC E
With petrol engines, after a cold start, pre-heating the catalytic converter can cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when stationary, with the engine running, for anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle speed).
WARNI NG
If the engine does not start straight away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the starter motor again. If the engine does not start after several attempts, do not keep

98
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor and the engine.Contact a TOYOTA dealer or a qualified workshop.
WARNI NG
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:– only use mats which are suited to the fixings already present in the vehicle; these fixings must be used,– never place one mat on top of another.The use of mats not approved by TOYOTA may interfere with access to the pedals and hinder the operation of the cruise control / speed limiter.The mats approved by TOYOTA have two fixings located below the seat.
