281-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. ( P. 2 9 )
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

●Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the
seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct pos-
ture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat
belt and head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the
front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the
seat tracks and stop the seat from
locking in place. This may lead to an accident and the adjustment
mechanism may also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed
limit when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances,
take regular breaks before you start
to feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while
driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

●When closing the trunk lid, take
extra care to prevent your fingers
etc. from being caught.
●When closing the trunk lid, make
sure to press it lightly on its outer
surface.
●Do not attach any accessories
other than genuine Toyota parts to the trunk lid. Such additional weight
on the trunk lid may cause the lid to
suddenly shut again after it is opened.
■Trunk lid damper stays
Do not pull on or disassemble the
trunk lid damper stays, or dispose of
them in a fire. Illustrations on the trunk lid damper stays indicate the fol-
lowing:
●: Do not pull
●: Do not disassemble
●: Do not dispose of in fire
●Do not pull on the trunk damper stay to close the trunk, and do not
hang on the trunk damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the trunk damper stay to
break, causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Using the trunk
When closing the trunk lid, do not strongly push down on the trunk lid.
Doing so may dent the trunk lid.
■Trunk damper stays
The trunk lid is equipped with damper
stays that hold the trunk lid in place. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage
to trunk damper stays, resulting in a malfunction.
●Do not attach any foreign objects such as stickers, plastic sheets and
adhesives to damper stay rods.
●Do not touch damper stay rods with
gloves or other fabric items.
●Do not attach any accessories
other than genuine Toyota parts to
the trunk lid.
●Do not apply lateral force to damper
stays or place your hand on it.

■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced, the windows may become fogged-up, and
the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water
between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■Engine speed while driving (vehi-
cles with an automatic transmis-
sion)
In the following conditions, the engine
speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting con- trol or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indi-
cate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is
released
●When driving on curves
●When the brake pedal is firmly
depressed
■Restraining the engine output
(Brake Override System)
When the accelerator and brake pedals
are depressed at the same time, the
engine output may be restrained.
■New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1600 km [1000 miles])
The performance and long life of your
vehicle are dependent on how you han- dle and care for your vehicle while it is
new. Follow these instructions during
the first 1600 km (1000 miles):
●Do not race the engine. And do not
allow the engine speed to exceed
4000 rpm except in an emergency.
●Do not drive at one constant engine or
vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or slow.
●Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
●Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
