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 from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
deploy in the event of a severe side collision.
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal collision.
■Conditions under which the SRS
airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side
and curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some exam-
ples are shown in the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or
hard surface
●Falling into or jumping over a deep
hole
●Landing hard or falling
■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front
airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side
or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type
causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
●Collision from the side
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain shield airbags and SRS
front seat center airbags)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags and SRS front seat center airbags may
not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the
vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
●Collision from the side to the vehicle body other than the passenger com-partment
●Collision from the side at an angle
The SRS side airbags and SRS front seat center airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a fron-
tal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side collision.
●Collision from the front
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover

■When to contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
●Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.
●The front of the vehicle is damaged or deformed, or was involved in an acci-dent that was not severe enough to
cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
●A portion of a door or its surrounding
area is damaged, deformed or has
had a hole made in it, or the vehicle was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS
side and curtain shield airbags and SRS front seat center airbags to inflate.
●The pad section of the steering wheel or dashboard near the front passen-
ger airbag is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●The surface of the seats with the SRS side airbag and SRS front seat center airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.
●The portion of the front pillars, rear pil-
lars or roof side rail garnishes (pad- ding) containing the SRS curtain shield airbags inside is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.

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 seat belts
properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat
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 air-
bag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This
distance is measured from the center
of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10
in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the ped-als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back 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 rec-
ommended above, while still main- taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag
also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or seri-ous injury especially if the front pas-
senger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible
with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying air-
bag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child
restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats
of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the
front passenger seat. ( P. 4 7 )

1-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag
unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-pants to hold items on their knees.
●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pillars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the
vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean
anything against areas such as the dashboard or steering wheel pad.
These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver and front pas-
senger 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. (Except for the speed limit label P.390)
●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become pro-
jectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS cur-tain shield airbags deploy.

WARNING
●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags and SRS front seat center airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags.
Such accessories may prevent the SRS side airbags and SRS front seat center airbags from activating
correctly, disable the system or cause the SRS side airbags and SRS front seat center airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag components or the
front doors. Doing so can cause the SRS air-bags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow
fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-due as soon as possible to prevent
skin irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS airbags
are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-
form any of the following modifica- tions without consulting your Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer. The SRS air- bags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or
serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembly
and repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or
replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and
rear pillars, roof side rails, front door panels, front door trims or front door speakers
●Modifications to the front door panel (such as making a hole in it)
●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the
occupant compartment
●Installation of a grille guard (bull
bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows or winches
●Modifications to the vehicle’s sus-pension system
●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-transmitter) and CD players

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 hybrid system.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system 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 hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If
snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the hybrid system is operating, exhaust gases may col-
lect 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.

1-2. Child safety
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In the event that the rear seat cannot be
used, the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual on-off sys-tem is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause
serious injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is
not installed on the front passen- ger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off
system is set to “ON”. If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident,
which may result in serious injury or even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precau-
tions when children are in the
vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until
the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt.
 It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact with
the shift lever, wiper switch,
etc.
 Use the rear door child-protec-
tor lock or the window lock
switch to avoid children open-
ing the door while driving or
operating the power window
accidentally. ( P.137, 158)
Do not let small children oper-
ate equipment which may
catch or pinch body parts,
such as the power window,
hood, back door, seats, etc.
WARNING
■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.
