■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or
serious injury.

401-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
●The driver and all passengers in the
vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental
devices to be used with the seat
belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with
considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the
airbag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.)
of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm
(10 in.) from your driver airbag pro- vides you with a clear margin of
safety. This distance is measured
from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than
250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can
change your driving position in sev- eral 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
airbag 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 airbag. 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 7 )
●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.

WA R N I N G
●Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do
not lean against the front door.
●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield
airbags: Do not lean against the
door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pillars.
●Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do
not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or
put their head or hands outside the
vehicle.
●Vehicles without an SRS driver’s
knee airbag: Do not attach anything to or lean anything against areas
such as the dashboard or steering
wheel pad. These items can become projectiles when the SRS
driver and front passenger airbags
deploy.
●Vehicles with an SRS driver’s knee airbag: Do not attach anything to or
lean anything against areas such
as the dashboard, steering wheel pad and lower portion of the instru-
ment panel. These items can
become projectiles when the SRS driver, front passe nger and driver’s
knee airbag deploy.
●Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do
not attach anything to areas such
as a door, windshield and side win- dows.
●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: Do not attach anything to
areas such as a door, windshield,
side windows, front or rear pillar, roof side rail and assist grip.
(Except for the speed limit label
P.484)

421-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
●Vehicles without a smart entry &
start system and with an SRS
driver’s knee airbag: Do not attach any heavy, sharp or hard objects
such as keys and accessories to
the key. The objects may restrict the SRS knee airbag inflation or be
thrust into the driver’s seat area by
the force of the deploying airbag,
thus causing a danger.
●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield
airbags: Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat
hooks. All of these items could
become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the
SRS curtain shield airbags deploy.
●Vehicles with an 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
remove it.
●Vehicles with SRS side airbags: 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 cor-
rectly, disable the system or cause
the side airbags to inflate acciden- tally, resulting 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 window to allow
fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-
due as soon as possible to prevent
skin irritation.
●Vehicles without SRS curtain shield
airbags: If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the
steering wheel pad are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
●Vehicles with SRS curtain shield
airbags: If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the
steering wheel pad and front and
rear pillars garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-
form any of the following modifica- tions without consulting your Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer. The SRS
airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or
serious injury.
●Installation, remo val, disassembly
and repair of the SRS airbags

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WA R N I N G
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 trunk closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the
vehicle even when the trunk is closed, open the windows and have
the vehicle inspected at any author-
ized 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.

441-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
■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 author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author-
ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

461-2. Child safety
WA R N I N G
■When installing a child restraint
system
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In
the event that the rear seat cannot be
used, the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual on-off sys-
tem is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is
left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause
serious injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is
not installed on the front passen-
ger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off
system is set to “ON”.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident,
which may result in serious injury or
even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precau-
tions when children are in the
vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until
the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt.
 It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact with
the shift lever, wiper switch,
etc.
 Use the rear door child-protec-
tor lock or the window lock
switch to avoid children open-
ing the door while driving or
operating the power window
accidentally. ( P.117, 138)
 Do not let small children oper-
ate equipment which may
catch or pinch body parts,
such as the power window,
hood, trunk, seats, etc.
