WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions 
● Vehicles  with  SRS driver’s  knee  airbag:  If a  vinyl  cover  is  put  on the  area 
where the SRS driver’s knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remo ve it. 
● Do  not  use  seat  accessories  which  cover  the  parts  where  the  SRS side 
airbags  inflate  as  they  may  interfere  with  inflation  of  the  SRS   airbags. 
Such  accessories  may  prevent  the  side  airbags  from  activating  c orrectly, 
disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate acciden tally, result- 
ing in death or serious injury. 
● Do  not  strike  or  apply  significant  levels  of  force  to  the  area of  the  SRS 
airbag components or the front doors.  
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction. 
● Do  not  touch  any  of  the  component  parts  immediately  after  the  SRS 
airbags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot. 
● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a 
door or side window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle  if it is safe to 
do so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin  irritation.  
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel 
pad  and  front  and  rear  pillar  garnishes,  are  damaged  or  cracked ,  have 
them  replaced  by  any  authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  autho rized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful  substance  to  the  human  body  is  included  in  exhaust 
gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is co lorless and 
odorless. Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to enter the vehicle a nd 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  side  windows  and  have  the  vehicle  inspected  at   any 
authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  authorized  repairer,  or  an y  reliable 
repairer as soon as possible. 
■ When parking 
● If  the  vehicle  is  in  a  poorly  ventilated  area  or  a  closed  area,  such  as  a 
garage, stop the hybrid system. 
● Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system on for a long time. 
If  such  a  situation  cannot  be  avoided,  park  the  vehicle  in  an  o pen  space 
and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior . 
● Do not leave the hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or 
where  it  is  snowing.  If  snowbanks  build  up  around  the  vehicle  w hile  the 
hybrid system is operating, exhaust gases may collect and enter  the vehi- 
cle. 
■ Exhaust pipe 
The  exhaust  system  needs  to  be  checked  periodically.  If  there  i s  a  hole  or 
crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaus t noise, be 
sure  to  have  the  vehicle  inspected  and  repaired  by  any  authoriz ed  Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.
