For safety and security
QSRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
O The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 -
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following
situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
O Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre-
tensioners will activate.
O Vehicles with front passenger occupant classification system: The SRS front
airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sit-
ting in the front passenger seat. However, the SRS front airbags for the front
passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoc-
cupied.
Q SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
O The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle
orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
O All SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.
Q Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than
a collision
The SRS front airbags, SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy
if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples
are shown in the illustration.
O Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
O Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
O Landing hard or falling

Q Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
O For the first 300 km (200 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
O For the first 800 km (500 miles) (with towing hitch):
Do not tow a trailer. ( P. 207)
O For the first 1000 km (600 miles):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in the low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
• Do not drive slowly with the manual transmission in a high gear.
Q Idling time before engine stop (diesel engine only)
To prevent damage to the turbocharger, allow the engine to idle immediately
after high-load driving.
Q Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P. 627)
Q Eco-friendly driving
 P. 128
Q After driving on muddy roads in poor condition (for EURO VI models*
with 1GD-FTV and 2GD-FTV engines)
Check the cooling fins of the urea injector and clear away any foreign objects
or substances such as leaves or mud. If any of the above parts is extremely
dirty or you are not sure of their condition, have your vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
*: EURO VI is an emission standard. If it is not clear that your vehicle meets
relevant standards, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Driving conditionIdling time

QTire information
O Increase the tire inflation pressure to 20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi)
greater than the recommended value when towing. ( P. 639)
O Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total
trailer weight and according to the values recommended by the manufac-
turer of your trailer.
Q Tr a i l e r l i g h ts
Check that the turn signal lights and stoplights are operating correctly every
time you hitch up the trailer. Direct ly wiring up to your vehicle may damage
the electrical system and stop the lights from functioning correctly.
Q Break-in schedule
Toyota recommends that vehicles fitted with new power train components
should not be used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (500 miles).
Q Safety checks before towing
O Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket and hitch ball
is not exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the trailer will add
to the load exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that the total load exerted
on the vehicle is within the range of the weight limits. ( P. 212)
O Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
O Supplementary outside rear view mirrors should be added to the vehicle if
the traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust the
extending arms of these mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so that they
always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
Q Maintenance
O Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle for
towing due to the greater weight burden placed on the vehicle compared to
normal driving.
O Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).

AdBlue™ is used to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides in exhaust
gas. Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding
AdBlue™.
O AdBlue™ is consumed in the process of driving.
O When AdBlue™ is depleted, the engine cannot be restarted.
O When AdBlue™ needs to be refilled, have it refilled at any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
It may be a criminal offence to use a vehicle that does not consume
any reagent if it is required for the reduction of emissions.
QPossible driving range
The amount of AdBlue™ that is consumed while driving differs
according to the driving conditions and driving environment. When
the amount of AdBlue™ that is consumed increases, the possible
driving range until it is necessary to refill AdBlue™ decreases.
*1: When the vehicle is used at high elevations and in low temperatures, the
amount of AdBlue™ that is consumed increases.
*2: During normal driving, 1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 Imp.qt.) of AdBlue™ is con-
sumed approximately every 600 km (373 miles). Also, after a full refill, the
vehicle can be driven for approximately 10000 km (6214 miles) before all
AdBlue™ is depleted.
