Adjust the angle of the seatback  
so that you are sitting straight up  
and so that you do not have to  
lean forward to steer. ( P.141) 
Adjust the seat so that you can  
depress the pedals fully and so  
that your arms bend slightly at 
the elbow when gripping the  
steering wheel. ( P.141) 
Lock the head restraint in place  
with the center of the head  
restraint closest to the top of  
your ears. ( P. 1 4 4 ) 
Wear the seat belt correctly.  
( P. 3 5 )
WARNING
●With the engine stopped and the  shift lever in P (Multidrive) or N  
(manual transmission), fully  depress each pedal to the floor to make sure it does not interfere with  
the floor mat.
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the

“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator 
Airbag sensor assembly 
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS  air- 
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the  airbags  
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the  airbags with non- 
toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc.,  may be sustained from SRS airbags,  
due to the extremely high speed  deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the  
front and rear pillars, and roof side  rails, may be hot for several minutes.  
The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The brakes and stop lights will be con- trolled automatically. ( P.301)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.325)
●The emergency flashers will turn on  automatically. ( P.394)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be  stopped. ( P.402)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol- 
lowing situations occur, the system is  
designed to send an emergency call*  to the eCall control center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without  
needing to push the “SOS” button)  and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the  
level of emergency and assistance  required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati- 
cally treats the call as an emergency  and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. ( P.65) 
• An SRS airbag is deployed. • A seat belt pretensioner is activated. 
• The vehicle is involved in a severe  rear-end collision.*: In some cases, the call cannot be  
made. ( P. 6 6 )
■SRS airbag deployment conditions  (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds  
the set threshold level (the level of  force corresponding to an approxi-mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]  
frontal collision with a fixed wall that  does not move or deform). 
However, this threshold velocity will be  considerably higher in the following situ-ations: 
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such  as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact 
• If the vehicle is involved in an under- ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle “under- 
rides”, or goes under, the bed of a  truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions  
(SRS side and curtain shield air- bags and SRS front seat center air-bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-bags and SRS front seat center air- 
bags will deploy in the event of an  impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding  
to the impact force produced by an  approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-cle colliding with the vehicle cabin

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the  
human body is included in  
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
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 back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open the windows and have  
the vehicle inspected at any autho- rized 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.
■Exhaust pipe 
The exhaust system needs to be  checked periodically. If there is a hole  
or crack caused by corrosion, dam- age to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle  
inspected and repaired by any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator  information 
If any of the following problems occur, it  
is possible that there is a malfunction in  the system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or  
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer.
●The “OFF” indicator does not illumi-nate when the airbag manual on-off switch is set to “OFF”.

tance required. 
Make sure to open the cover before  
pressing the “SOS” button.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” but- 
ton, tell the operator that you are not 
experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be 
made. ( P. 6 6 )
When the engine switch is turned to  
ON, the red indicator light will illumi- 
nate for 10 seconds and then the  
green indicator light will illuminate,  
indicating that the system is  
enabled. The indicator lights indi- 
cate the following: 
 If the green indicator light illumi- 
nates and stays on, the system is  
enabled. 
 If the green indicator light  
flashes, an automatic or manual  
Emergency Call is being made. 
 If the red indicator light illumi- 
nates at any time other than  
immediately after the engine  
switch is turned to ON, the sys- 
tem may be malfunctioning or  
the backup battery may be  
depleted. 
 If the red indicator light blinks for  
approximately 30 seconds during  
an Emergency Call, the call has  
been disconnected or the cellular  
network signal is weak.

WARNING 
■When the Emergency Call may  
not be made
●It may not be possible to make  Emergency Calls in any of the fol- 
lowing situations. In such cases,  report to emergency services pro-vider (112 system etc.) by other  
means such as nearby public  phones. 
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel- lular phone service area, it may be difficult to connect to the eCall con- 
trol center if the reception is poor or  the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to con- 
nect to the eCall control center, you  may not be able to connect to the eCall control center to make Emer- 
gency Calls and contact emergency  services. 
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu- lar phone service area, the Emer-gency Calls cannot be made. 
• When any related equipment (such  as the “SOS” button panel, indicator  
lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,  antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment) is malfunctioning,  
damaged or broken, the Emer- gency Call cannot be made.

type engine immobilizer system.
■Conditions that may cause the sys- tem to malfunction
●If the grip portion of the key is in con-tact with a metallic object
●If the key is in close proximity to or touching a key to the security system (key with a built-in transponder chip)  
of another vehicle
■Certifications for the engine immo- bilizer system 
 P. 4 8 7
Engine immobilizer sys- 
tem
The vehicle’s keys have built- 
in transponder chips that pre- 
vent the engine from starting if  
a key has not been previously  
registered in the vehicle’s on- 
board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the  
vehicle when you leave the  
vehicle.
This system is designed to  
help prevent vehicle theft but  
does not guarantee absolute  
security against all vehicle  
thefts.
