WARNING
●Only put a forward-facing child
restraint system o n the front seat
when unavoidable. When installing a forward-facing child restraint on
the front passenger seat, move the
seat as far back as possible. Failing to do so may result in death or seri -
ous injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).
●Do not allow t he child to lean
his/her head or any part of his/her
body against the door or the area of the seat, front or rear pillars, or roof
side rails from which the SRS side
airbags or SRS curtain shield air - bags deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint system.
It is dangerous if the SRS side air - bags and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause
death or serious i njury to the child.
●When a junior seat is installed,
always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center
of the child’s shoulder. The belt
should be kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could
fall off the child’s shoulder.
●Use a child restraint system suit - able to the age and size of the child
and install it to the rear seat.
●If the driver’s sea t interferes with
the child restra int system and pre-
vents it from be ing attached cor- rectly, attach the child restraint
system to the right-hand rear seat
(left-hand drive vehicles) or the left- hand rear seat (right-hand drive
vehicles).
●Adjust the front passenger seat so
that it does not i nterfere with the
child restraint system.

restraint systems in rear seat, it
may not be possible to properly use
the seat belts in positions next to
the child restraint without interfering
with it or affecti ng seat belt effec-
tiveness. Be sure you r seat belt fits
snugly across your shoulder and
low on your hips. If it does not, or if
it interferes with the child restraint,
move to a different position. Failure
to do so may result in death or seri -
ous injury.
 When installing a child restraint
in the rear seats, adjust the front
seat so that it does not interfere
with the child or child restraint
system.
 When installing a child seat with
support base, if the child seat
interferes with the seatback
when latching it into the support
base, adjust the seatback rear -
ward until there is no interfer -
ence.
 If the seat belt shoulder anchor is
ahead of the child seat belt
guide, move the seat cushion
forward.
 When installing a junior seat, if
the child in your child restraint
system is in a very upright posi -
tion, adjust the seatback angle to
the most comfortable position.

the luggage compartment. ( →P.98) Doing so may cause the DC/DC
Converter, electrical components,
etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
●Do not get any o f the SRS compo-
nents or wiring in the vehicle interior
wet. ( →P.40) An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or not
function properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:Do not let the wir eless charger
( →P.479) get wet. Failure to do so
may cause the charger to become hot and cause burns or could cause
electric shock resu lting in death or
serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially
instrument panel)
Do not use a polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel may
reflect off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an
accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.
NOTICE

●Do not use the fol lowing types of
detergent, as they may discolor the vehicle interior or cause streaks or
damage to paint ed surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub - stances such as benzene or gaso -
line, alkaline or a cidic solutions,
dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions,
such as thinner, benzene, and alco -
hol
●Do not use a polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or
other interior part’ s painted surface

avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to direct
sunlight for extended periods of
time. Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
●Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the
upholstery, as they may stick to the
leather surface if the vehicle interior heats up significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water
comes into contact with electrical
components such as the audio sys - tem above or under the floor of the
vehicle. Water may also cause the
body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of the
windshield (vehicles with Toyota Safety Sense)
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact
the lens. Also, do not touch the lens. ( →P.344)
■Cleaning the inside of the rear
