■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

P. 6 8
Prioritize and observe the warn-
ings, as well as the laws and reg-
ulations for child restraint
systems.
Use a child restraint system until
the child becomes large enough
to properly wear the vehicle’s
seat belt.
Choose a child restraint system
appropriate to the age and size
of the child.
Note that not all child restraint
systems can fit in all vehicles.
Before using or purchasing a
child restraint system, check the
compatibility of th e child restraint
system with seat positions.

Points to remember
WA R N I N G
■When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, a
child must be properly restrained,
using a seat belt or child restraint system which is corr ectly installed.
For installation details, refer to the
operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system. General
installation instruction is provided in
this manual.
●Toyota strongly urges the use of a
proper child rest raint system that conforms to the weight and size of
the child, installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
●Holding a child in your or someone
else’s arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield or between the holder and the interior of the
vehicle.
■Handling the child restraint sys-
tem
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or
other passengers may be seriously
injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving, or
an accident.
●If the vehicle were to receive a
strong impact from an accident,
etc., it is possible that the child restraint system has damage that is
not readily visible. In such cases,
do not reuse the restraint system.

NOTICE
●The characteristics of the stereo
camera are similar to those of
human eyes. For this reason, con- ditions that make it difficult for the
driver to see in the forward direction
have the same effect on the stereo camera. They also make it difficult
for the system to detect vehicles,
obstacles, and traffic lanes.
●Detection by the EyeSight system
is limited to objects that are within
the range of the stereo camera’s field of view. Also, after an object
enters the range of the camera’s
field of view, it may take some time for the system to detect it as a con-
trollable target and to warn the
driver.
Low objects surrounding the vehi-
cle cannot be detected.

■Pre-driving check
Check that the hood is fully closed
and locked.
If the hood is not locked properly, it
may open while the vehicle is in
motion and cause an accident, which may result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When opening the hood
●Do not lift up or operate the wipers. Doing so may cause the hood and
wipers to contact, scratching the
hood.
●Use caution when opening the
hood in windy weather as it may close suddenly in strong wind.
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota products
to the hood. Such additional weight
on the hood may cause it to be too heavy to be supported by the sup-
porting rod when opened.
■When closing the hood
Do not apply exce ssive weight or

■Effects of incorrect tire inflation
pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pres-
sure may result in the following:
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor handling
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drivetrain
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it
checked by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
■Instructions for checking tire infla-
tion pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are cold.If your vehicle has been parked for at
least 3 hours or has not been driven
for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation
pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation pres-
sure to be higher after driving as heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce
tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehicle is
balanced.Tire inflation pressure
Make sure to maintain proper
tire inflation pressure. Tire
inflation pressure should be
checked at least once per
month. However, Toyota rec-
ommends that tire inflation
pressure be checked once
every two weeks.
WA R N I N G
■Proper inflation is critical to save
tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated. If the tires are not properly inflated,
the following conditions may occur
which could lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting
from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire and
wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-
age
●Greater possibility of tire damage
while driving (due to road hazards, expansion joints, sharp edges in the
road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back
on. If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or
moisture may get into the valve and
cause an air leak, resulting in decreased tire inflation pressure.
