●The SRS airbags deploy with con-
siderable speed and force. Occu-
pants who are out of the proper position when the SRS airbags
deploy could suffer very serious
injuries. Because the SRS airbags need enough space for deploy-
ment, the driver should always sit
upright and well back in the seat as
far from the steering wheel as prac- tical while still maintaining full vehi-
cle control and the front passenger
should move the seat as far back as possible and sit upright and well
back in the seat.
●Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to either door. The SRS side
airbags are stored in both front seat seatbacks next to the door, and
they provide protection by deploy-
ing rapidly (faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a side
impact collision. However, the force
of SRS side airbag deployment may cause injuries if the head or
other parts of the body are too close
to the SRS side airbag.
●Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the door, windows or pillars
on either side. Also, do not put your
head, arms or hands out of the win- dow. The curtain shield airbags on
both sides of the cabin are stored in
the roof side (between the front pil- lar and a point over the rear seat),
and they provide protection by
deploying rapidly (faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a
side impact or an offset frontal colli-
sion.
●Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the SRS airbag. Because the SRS airbag deploys with con-
siderable speed faster than the
blink of an eye and force to pro- tect in high speed collisions, the
force of an airbag can injure an
occupant whose body is too close to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear your
seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS airbag
contacts an occupant not in the
proper position such as one thrown forward during preaccident braking.
Even when properly positioned,
there remains a possibility that an occupant may suffer minor injury
such as abrasions and bruises to
the face or arms because of the SRS airbag deployment force.
●Do not rest your arm on either door or its internal trim. You could be
injured in the event of SRS side
airbag deployment.

381-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
●Do not attach accessories to the
door trim or near either SRS side
airbags and do not place objects near the SRS side airbags. In the
event of SRS side airbag deploy-
ment, they could be propelled dan- gerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries.
●Do not attach a hands-free micro- phone or any other accessory to a
front pillar, a center pillar, a rear pil-
lar, the windshield, a side window, or any other cabin surface that
would be near a deploying SRS
curtain shield airbag. A hands-free microphone or other accessory in
such a location could be propelled
through the cabin with great force by the curtain shield airbag, or it
could prevent correct deployment of
the curtain shield airbag. In either case, the result could be serious
injuries.
●Never hang or place coat hangers
or other hard or pointed objects
near the side windows. If such items are present when the SRS
curtain shield airbags deploy, they
could be thrown through the pas- senger compartment and cause
serious injuries. They could also
prevent proper operation of the SRS curtain shield airbags.
●Do not put any kind of cover or clothes or other objects over either
front seatback and do not attach
labels or stickers to the front seat surface on or near the SRS side
airbag. They could prevent proper
deployment of the SRS side airbag, reducing protection available to the
front seat’s occupant.
●Do not install a seat cover unless it
is a genuine Toyota seat cover
exclusively designed for use with the SRS airbag. Even when using a
genuine Toyota seat cover, the SRS
side airbag system may not func- tion normally if the seat cover is not
installed correctly.

■General Precautions regarding
SRS Airbag System and Children
●Put children in the REAR seat prop- erly restrained at all times in a child
restraint device or in a seatbelt,
whichever is appropriate for the child’s age, height and weight. The
SRS airbag deploys with considera-
ble speed and force and can injure
or even kill children, especially if they are not restrained or improp-
erly restrained. Because children
are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater.
Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including forward facing
child seats) in the REAR seats at all
times. According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating posi- tions than in the front seating posi-
tions.
For instructions and precautions concerning the child restraint sys-
tem, refer to P.56.
●NEVER INSTALL A CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLAC- ING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO
CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
●Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel on the front passenger’s seat.
The SRS airbag deploys with con- siderable force and can injure or
even kill the child.
●Never hold a child on your lap or in
your arms. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable force and can injure or even kill the child.
●Never allow a child to do the follow-ing.
• Kneel on any passenger’s seat fac-
ing the side window
• Wrap his/her arms around the front
seat seatback

401-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
• Put his/her head, arms or other
parts of the body out of the window
In the event of an accident, the force
of SRS side airbag and/or SRS cur-
tain shield airbag deployment could injure the child seriously because
his/her head, arms or other parts of
the body are too close to the SRS side airbag and/or SRS curtain shield
airbag.
●Since your vehicle is also equipped
with a front passenger’s SRS fron-
tal airbag, children aged 12 and under or 1.5 m (4 feet 11 inches) tall
or less should be placed in the rear
seat and should be properly restrained at all times.
■SRS Airbag System Servicing
The SRS airbag has no userservicea-
ble parts. Do not use electrical test
equipment on any circuit related to the SRS airbag system. For required
servicing of the SRS airbag, we rec-
ommend that you consult your near- est Toyota dealer. Tampering with or
disconnecting the system’s wiring
could result in accidental inflation of the SRS airbag or could make the
system inoperative, which may result
in serious injury.
■Precautions against Vehicle Modification
To avoid accidental activation of the
system or rendering the system inop- erative, which may result in serious
injury, no modifications should be
made to any components or wiring of the SRS airbag system.
This includes the following modifica-
tions.
●Installation of custom steering
wheels
●Attachment of additional trim mate-
rials to the dashboard
●Installation of custom seats
●Replacement of seat fabric or
leather
●Installation of additional fabric or
leather on the front seat
●Attachment of a hands-free micro-
phone or any other accessory to a
front pillar, a center pillar, a rear pil- lar, the windshield, a side window,
an assist grip, or any other cabin
surface that would be near a deploying SRS curtain shield
airbag.
●Installation of additional electri-
cal/electronic equipment such as a
mobile two-way radio on or near the SRS airbag system components
and/or wiring is not advisable. This
could interfere with proper opera- tion of the SRS airbag system.
●Modifications on or inside the front door panels for the purpose of a
speaker replacement or sound
insulation.
• The impact sensors, which detect
the pressure of an impact, are
located in the doors.
●Do not perform any of the following
modifications. Such modifications can interfere with proper operation
of the SRS airbag system.

421-1. For safe use
In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS side airbag on
the impacted side of the vehicle
deploys between the occupant and
the door panel and supplements
the seatbelt by reducing the impact
to the occupant’s chest and waist.
The SRS side airbag operates only
for front seat occupants.
In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS curtain shield
airbag on the impacted side of the
vehicle deploys between the occu-
pant and the side window and sup-
plements the seatbelt by reducing
the impact to the occupant’s head.
■Occupant detection system
The occupant detection system
sensors are installed between the
seat and seat rails, and monitors
the physique and posture of the
front passenger. The occupant
detection system determines
whether the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag should be deployed
or not from the physique and pos-
ture of the front passenger.
Occupant detection sensors
The occupant detection system
may not inflate the front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag even when
the driver’s SRS frontal airbag
deploys. This is normal.

■SRS warning light
If the warning light exhibits any of the
following conditions, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and we
recommend that you consult a Toyota
dealer. Unless a technician checks and repairs the system as needed,
the seatbelt pretensioners and/or the
SRS airbag may not operate properly
in the event of a collision, which may result in injury.
●Flashing or flickering of the warning light
●No illumination of the warning light when the engine switch is first
turned to ON
●Continuous illumination of the warn-
ing light
●Illumination of the warning light

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 lid closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the
vehicle even when the trunk lid 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.

■When children are in the vehicle
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 or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside
the vehicle can be fatal to children.
Child restraint systems
Before installing a child
restraint system in the vehicle,
there are precautions that need
to be observed, different types
of child restraint systems, as
well as installation methods,
etc., written in this manual.
Use a child restraint system
when riding with a small child
that cannot properly use a seat
belt. For the child’s safety,
install the child restraint sys-
tem to a rear se at. Be sure to
follow the insta llation method
that is in the operation manual
enclosed with the restraint sys-
tem.
The use of a Toyota genuine
child restraint system is rec-
ommended, as it is safer to
use in this vehicle. Toyota gen-
uine child restraint systems
are made specifically for
Toyota vehicles. They can be
purchased at a Toyota dealer.
