WARNING
●Do not wear the seat belt
extender if you can fasten the
seat belt without the extender.
●Do not use the seat belt
extender when installing a child
restraint system because the
belt will not securely hold the
child restraint system, increas-
ing the risk of death or serious
injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
●The personalized extender may
not be safe on another vehicle,
when used by another person,
or at a different seating position
other than the one originally
intended.

For safety and security
install the child restraint system.
Adjust the seatback angle to
the most upright position.
Move the front seat fully rear-
ward. If the passenger seat
height can be adjusted, move
it to the upper most position.

Otherwise, put the head
restraint in the upper most
position.
WARNING
■When using a child restraint
system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
●Never install a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front
passenger seat even if the “AIR
BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-
minated. In the event of an acci-
dent, the force of the rapid
inflation of the front passenger
airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child if the rear-
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint
system may be installed on the
front passenger seat only when
it is unavoidable. A child
restraint system that requires a
top tether strap should not be
used in the front passenger seat
since there is no top tether strap
anchor for the front passenger
seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint
system may be installed on the
front passenger seat only when
it is unavoidable. When install-
ing a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front
passenger seat, adjust the seat-
back angle to the most upright
position, move the seat to the
rearmost position, even if the
“AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is
illuminated.
If the head restraint interferes
with the child restraint system
installation and the head
restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint.

tem, contact your Toyota dealer.
A message is automatically dis-
played when a malfunction
occurs in the EV system or an
improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
read the message and follow the
instructions. (

WARNING
■Caution while driving
●Pay special attention to the area
around the vehicle. Because
there is no engine noise, pedes-
trians, people riding bicycles or
other people and vehicles in the
area may not be aware of the
vehicle starting off or approach-
ing them, so take extra care
while driving. Therefore, take
extra care while driving even if
the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System is active.
●If the vehicle under floor area
receives strong shock or impact
while driving, stop the vehicle in
a safe place and check around
the bottom of the vehicle. If
there is damage to the traction
battery or liquid leakage, it may
lead to a vehicle fire, etc. Do not
touch the vehicle and immedi-
ately contact your Toyota dealer.
Even if no damage can be seen
under the floor, the traction bat-
tery may be damaged. If the
vehicle received an impact
under the floor, have the traction
battery inspected at a Toyota
dealer.
■Modifications
Do not make modifications that
lower the height of the vehicle.
The traction battery in the under
floor area may come into contact
with the ground when the height
of vehicle is lowered. If the trac-
tion battery is damaged, a vehicle
fire may occur, possibly resulting
in death or serious injury.
