WARNING
■General precautions while driv- ing
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have
impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment
and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might
make and be ready to avoid acci- dents.
Driver distraction: Always give your
full attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding children’s safety
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, the canvas top, or other features of the vehicle. In addition,
heat build-up or extremely cold tem- peratures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
WARNING
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the air-bag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This
distance is measured from the center
of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10
in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as
you can while still reaching the ped- als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended above, while still main- taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front pas- senger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be
as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying air- bag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and
children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer
for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( P. 4 8 )
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front
passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-
pants to hold items on their knees.
