WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags. 
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● The  driver  and  all  passengers  in  the  vehicle  must  wear  their  se at  belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the se at 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.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advi ses:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm)
of  inflation,  placing  yourself  10  in.  (250  mm)  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
10 in.  (250  mm)  away  now,  you  can  change  your  driving  position  i n  sev-
eral ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reach ing the ped-
als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.  Although  vehicle  designs  vary,  many  drivers  can  achieve  the  10  in.
(250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward , simply
by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the ba ck 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 air- bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The  seat  should  be  adjusted  as  recommended  by  NHTSA  above,  while
still  maintaining  control  of  the  foot  pedals,  steering  wheel,  and  your  view
of the instrument panel controls.
● If  the  seat  belt  extender  has  been  con-
nected to the front seat belt buckles but
the seat belt extender has not also been
fastened  to  the  latch  plate  of  the  seat
belt,  the  SRS  front  airbags  will  judge
that  the  driver  and  front  passenger  are
wearing  the  seat  belt  even  though  the
seat  belt  has  not  been  connected.  In
this  case,  the  SRS  front  airbags  may
not  activate  correctly  in  a  collision,
resulting in death or serious injury in the
event of a collision. Be sure to wear the
seat belt with the seat belt extender.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
● 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.
● If  a  vinyl  cover  is  put  on the  area  where  the SRS  knee  airbag  w ill  deploy,
be sure to remove it.
● Do  not  allow  anyone  to  kneel  on  the
passenger seats toward the door or put
their head or hands outside the vehicle.
● Do  not  attach  anything  to  or  lean  any-
thing  against  areas  such  as  the  dash-
board,  steering  wheel  pad  and  lower
portion of the instrument panel. 
These  items  can  become  projectiles
when  the  SRS  driver,  front  passenger
and knee airbags deploy.
● Do not attach anything to areas such as
a  door,  windshield,  side  windows,  front
or  rear  pillar,  roof  side  rail  and  assist
grip.
● 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. 

761-2. Emergency assistance
■Enhanced Roadside Assistance
Enhanced  Roadside  Assistance  adds  GPS  data  to  the  already
included warranty-based Toyota roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” button to reach a Safety Connec t
response-center  agent,  who  can  he lp  with  a  wide  range  of  needs,
such  as:  towing,  flat  tire,  fuel   delivery,  etc.  For  a  description  of  the
Enhanced  Roadside  Assistance  se rvices  and  their  limitations,
please  see  the  Safety  Connect  Te rms  and  Conditions,  which  are
available  at  Toyota.com  in  the  United  States,  Toyotapr.com  in
Puerto Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.
Important! Read this informatio n before using Safety Connect.
■Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-po wer
radio transmitter and receiver. I t receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In  August  1996,  the  Federal  Communications  Commission  (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wi re-
less  phones. Those  guidelines  are   consistent  with  the  safety  stan-
dards  previously  set  by  the  following  U.S.  and  international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Stand ards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP  (National  Council  on  Radi ation  Protection  and  Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP  (International  Commission  on  Non-Ionizing  Radiation
Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scienti fic literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers,  and  physicians  from  unive rsities,  and  government  health
agencies and industries reviewed  the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines i n
addition to those standards.

Operation of each component
■When  required  to  leave  the  vehicle ’s  key  with  a  parking  attendant  (type
D)
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. ( P. 357) 
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with
the electronic key only.
■ If you lose your keys
Type A, B and C
New genuine key can be made by your Toyota dealer using the other key and
the key number stamped on your key number plate. 
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the  vehicle.
Type D
New genuine key can be made by your Toyota dealer. 
The following are necessary when making new keys.
Mechanical key: 
The key number for the mechanical key stamped on the number pla te and the
other key.
Key: 
The key number for key stamped on the key number plate.
Keep the plates in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the  vehicle. 
There  are  key  number  plates  for  the  mechanical  key  and  key  resp ectively.
When storing them, keep them in a safe place in a manner to dis tinguish one
from the other (such as markings, etc.).
■ When riding in an aircraft (type C or type D)
When bringing an wireless remote control function onto an aircr aft, make sure
you  do  not press any button on  the key while inside  the  aircraf t  cabin. If you
are carrying the key in your bag, etc., ensure that the buttons  are not likely to
be  pressed  accidentally.  Pressing  a  button  may  cause  the  key  to   emit  radio
waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
■ Conditions affecting operation (type C or type D)
Type C
The wireless remote control  function may  not operate  normally  i n the follow-
ing situations:
● Near  a  TV  tower,  radio  station,  electric  power  plant,  airport  o r  other  facility
that generates strong radio waves
● When  carrying  a  portable  radio,  cellular  phone  or  other  wireles s  communi-
cation devices
● When multiple wireless keys are in the vicinity
● When the wireless key is in contact with, or is covered by a me tallic object
● When a wireless key (that emits radio waves) is being used near by
● When the wireless key has been left near an electrical applianc e such as a
personal computer
