For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seatback
so that you are sitting straight up
and so that you do not have to
lean forward to steer. ( →P.128)
Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so
that your arms bend slightly at
the elbow when gripping the
steering wheel. ( →P.128)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head
restraint closest to the top of
your ears. ( →P. 1 3 0 )
Wear the seat belt correctly.

WARNING
●With the engine stopped and the shift lever in P (Multidrive) or N
(manual transmission), fully depress each pedal to the floor to make sure it does not interfere with
the floor mat.

SRS warning light
Driver airbag
Airbag manual on-off switch
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-
toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extremely high speed
deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the
front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-trolled automatically. ( →P.269)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( →P.292)
●The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( →P.360)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. ( →P.367)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol-
lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call*
to the eCall control center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the “SOS” button)
and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance
required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati-cally treats the call as an emergency
and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. ( →P.66)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated. • The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( →P. 6 7 )
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS front airbags)
●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 approxi-
mately 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 situ-
ations: • 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 under-ride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “under- rides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield air-bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-bags 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

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.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole
or crack caused by corrosion, dam- age to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle
inspected and repaired by any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator information
If any of the following problems occur, it
is possible that there is a malfunction in the system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer.
●The “OFF” indicator does not illumi-nate when the airbag manual on-off switch is set to “OFF”.

For safety and security
tance required.
Make sure to open the cover before
pressing the “SOS” button.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” but-
ton, tell the operator that you are not
experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( →P. 6 7 )
When the engine switch is turned to
ON, the red indicator light will illumi-
nate for 10 seconds and then the
green indicator light will illuminate,
indicating that the system is
enabled. The indicator lights indi-
cate the following:
z If the green indicator light illumi-
nates and stays on, the system is
enabled.
z If the green indicator light flashes
twice per second, an automatic
or manual Emergency Call is
being made.
z If the red indicator light illumi-
nates at any time other than
immediately after the engine
switch is turned to ON, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning or
the backup battery may be
depleted.
z If the red indicator light blinks for
approximately 30 seconds during
an Emergency Call, the call has
been disconnected or the cellular
network signal is weak.
The service life of the backup battery
does not exceed 3 years.

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
●It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the fol-lowing situations. In such cases,
report to emergency services pro- vider (112 system etc.) by other means such as nearby public
phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel-
lular phone service area, it may be difficult to connect to the eCall con-trol center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to con-nect to the eCall control center, you
may not be able to connect to the eCall control center to make Emer-gency Calls and contact emergency
services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu-
lar phone service area, the Emer- gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emer-
gency Call cannot be made.
