581-2. Child safety
■When installing a child
restraint system to a front pas-
senger seat
Child restraint systems cannot be
installed to the front passenger's
seat.
WA R N I N G
●Depending on the child restraint
system, installation may be difficult
or impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint
system is suitable for installment in
the vehicle. ( P.60) Be sure to install and observe the usage rules
after carefully reading the child
restraint system fixing method in
this manual, as well as the opera- tion manual enclosed with the child
restraint system.
●Keep the child re straint system
properly secured on the seat even if
it is not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in
the passenger compartment.
●If it is necessary to detach the child
restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk.
When using a child restraint
system
WA R N I N G
■When installing a child restraint
system
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat.
The force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can
cause death or serious injury to
children in the event of an accident.
●There is a label(s) on the passen-
ger side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden to attach a rear-facing
child restraint system to the front
passenger seat. However, as child restraint systems cannot be
installed to the front passenger seat
of this model, do not use a child restraint system on the front pas-
senger seat regardless of the direc-
tion it is facing. Details of the label(s) are shown in
the illustration below.

Driving
NOTICE
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the
following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually depress
the brake pedal to slow down the
vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your
vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal
sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a flat tire (P.345)
■When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has
flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may cause the following serious dam-
age to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by water
immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author-
ized repairer, or any reliable repairer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality of
oil and fluid used for the engine, transmission, differential, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the propel-ler shaft, bearings and suspension
joints (where possible), and the
function of all joints, bearings, etc.
Cargo and luggage
Take notice of the following
information about storage pre-
cautions, cargo capacity and
load:
WA R N I N G
■Things that must not be carried
in the trunk
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk:
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
●To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during braking, do
not stack anything in the enlarged
trunk. Keep cargo and luggage low, as close to the floor as possible.
●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed
directly behind the front seats.
●Never allow anyone to ride in the
enlarged trunk. It is not designed for
passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts
properly fastened. Otherwise, they
are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily injury, in the event
of sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing or an accident.
1784-5. EyeSight
WA R N I N G
There is a wall or door made of
glass or a mirror in front.
The vehicle in front suddenly
swerves, accelerates, or decelerates.
A vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or
pedestrian suddenly cuts in from the
side or suddenly runs in front of you.
Your vehicle is immediately behind
an obstacle after changing lanes.
There is a vehicle, motorcycle,
bicycle or pedestri an in a location
close to your vehicle’s bumper.
The speed difference between
your vehicle and an obstacle is 5
km/h (4 mph) or less (As braking is
performed once the obstacle is in
close proximity to your vehicle,
depending on the shape and size of
the obstacle, there may be some
cases when the obstacle is outside
the range of the camera’s field of
view.).
On sharp curves, steep uphill
grades or steep downhill grades
On a bumpy or unpaved road
There are changes in brightness,
such as at a tunnel entrance or exit.
●Do not test Pre-Collision Braking System on its own. It may operate
improperly and cause an accident.
●The system may not operate cor-
rectly under the conditions listed
below. When these conditions occur, turn off Pre-Collision Braking
System. (P.183)
• The tire pressure is not correct.*1
• Tires that are unevenly worn or tires with uneven wear patterns are
installed.*1
• Tires that are the wrong size are
installed.*1
• A flat tire has been fixed temporarily
with a tire repair kit.
• The suspension has been modified
(including a genuine Toyota sus-
pension that has been modified).
• An object that obstructs the stereo
camera’s view is installed on the vehicle.
• Tire chains are installed.
• The headlights are dirty or they
have snow and ice or dirt on them. (Objects are not correctly illumi-
nated and are difficult to detect.)
• The optical axes are not aligned
correctly. (Objects are not correctly
illuminated and are difficult to detect.)
• The lights including headlights and fog lights have been modified.
• Vehicle operation has become unstable due to an accident or mal-
function.
• The brake system warning light is
illuminated in red.*2
• A heavy cargo is inside the vehicle.
• The maximum number of occu- pants is exceeded.
• The meter is not operating properly; such as when the lights do not illu-
minate, the beeps do not sound, the
display is different from when it is
normal, etc.*3
3046-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
pressure has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with
temperature. The displayed values
may also be different from the values measured using a tire pressure
gauge.
■Situations in which the tire pres-
sure warning system may not oper- ate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pres-sure warning system may not operate
properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire
that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire
that is not of the specified size. • Tire chains, etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is
equipped. • If a window tint that affects the radio
wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the wheels
or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified
level.
• If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are
used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not
registered in the tire pressure warning
computer.
●Performance may be affected in the
following situations. • When driving near a TV tower, electric
power plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airport or other facility
that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellu-
lar phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication device
If tire position information is not correctly
displayed due to the radio wave condi- tions, the display ma y be corrected by
driving and changing the radio wave
conditions.
●When the vehicle is parked, the time
taken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines
rapidly for example when a tire has burst, the warning may not function.
■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning system will change in accordance with
driving conditions. For this reason, the
system may give a warning even if the tire pressure does not reach a low
enough level, or if the pressure is higher
than the pressure that was adjusted to when the system was initialized.
When replacing tires or wheels, tire
pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure warn-
ing computer and the tire pressure
warning system must be initialized.
Have tire pressu re warning valve
and transmitter ID codes regis-
tered by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
( P. 3 0 6 )
■Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter is not regis- tered, the tire pressure warning system
will not work properly. After driving for
about 10 minutes, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and

3307-2. Steps to take in an emergency
The following may indicate a prob-
lem with your transmission. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer or commercial tow-
ing service before towing.
The engine is running but the
vehicle does not move.
The vehicle makes an abnormal
sound.
From the front
Use a towing dolly under the rear
wheels.
WA R N I N G
■After towing
Make sure to remove the towing eye-
let. If not removed, the SRS airbags may
not deploy correctly if the vehicle is
involved in a frontal collision, or the fuel pump shutoff system may not
operate correctly if involved in a rear
collision.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing using a wheel-lift
type truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the rear when the engine switch is off. The
steering lock mechanism is not
strong enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-
ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear-
ance, the vehicle could be dam- aged while being towed.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle when towing with a sling-type
truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either from the front or rear.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the
suspension components.
■When towing down a long slope
Use a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck. If a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck is
not used, the brakes may overheat,
leading to poor brake performance.

rear, it can be used in an emergency to tow a vehicle lighter than your vehicle on
a normal road, using a rope.
■When towing another vehicle
For vehicles with BSD/RCTA, make sure
to turn BSD/RCTA off.
As the radar waves will be blocked by the towed vehicle, this system will not
operate properly.
■When installing a towing eyelet to
the rear
When installing a towing eyelet to the
rear, install it using the following proce-
dure.
1 Take out the wheel nut wrench,
flathead screwdriver and towing eye- let. ( P.346)
