should not be working.
Installing electronic devices and 
radios increases the risk of 
cyber attacks through the 
installed parts, which may lead 
to unexpected accidents and 
leakage of personal informa-
tion. Toyota does not make any 
guarantees for problems caused 
by installing non-genuine Toyota 
products.
The installation of a mobile 
two-way radio system in your 
vehicle could affect electronic 
systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel 
injection system
 Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
 Anti-lock brake system
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toy-
ota dealer for precautionary 
measures or special instructions 
regarding installation of a mobile 
two-way radio system. This vehicle is equipped with 
sophisticated computers that 
record certain data regarding 
vehicle controls and operations.

ers
*1
Certain data, such as the following, 
is recorded dependi ng on the oper-
ation timing and status of each 
function.
• Basic vehicle behavior related  data (engine speed, accelera-
tor/brake pedal operation, vehi-
cle speed, etc.)
• Operating state of the driving  support systems (recorded during 
system operation, includes basic 
vehicle behavior related data)
• Driving support system sensor  data

301-1. For safe use
based on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The air-
bag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors, etc., shown in the system 
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. 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 of deployment (inflation) by 
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will 
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 
inflator) as well as the parts 
around the airbags may be hot for 
several minutes. T he airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●All of the doors will be unlocked. 
(  P.105)
●The brakes and st op lights will be 
controlled automatically. ( P.275)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.303)
●The emergency flashers will turn 
on automatically. ( P.382)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be 
stopped. (P.390)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if 
any of the followin g situations 
occur, the system is designed to 
send an emergency call to the 
response 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 assis-
tance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the 
agent automatically  treats the call  as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency 
services. (

deployed
• When a seat belt pretensioner has  operated
• When the vehicle has been  involved in a severe rear-end colli-
sion
■The SRS airbags deploy in a 
frontal impact when
●The following SRS airbags will 
deploy in the event of an impact 
that exceeds a th reshold level 
(level of force corresponding to an 
approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 
30 km/h] frontal collision with a 
fixed wall that does not move or 
deform):
• SRS front airbags
• SRS knee airbag
●The threshold level at which the 
SRS airbags will deploy will be 
higher than normal in the in the 
following situations:
• When the vehicle  collides with an 
object, such as a parked vehicle 
or sign pole, which moves or 
deforms on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an  underride collision, such as a colli-
sion in which the front of the vehi-
cle “underrides”, or goes under, 
the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, 
only the following may deploy:
• Seat belt pretensioners
●The SRS airbags for the front pas-
senger’s seat will not deploy if 
there is no passe nger in the front 
passenger seat. However, the

Before driving
●If the wireless remote control is 
used to lock the doors when the 
electronic key is near the vehicle, 
there is a possib ility that the door 
may not be unlocke d by the entry 
function. (Use the wireless remote 
control to unloc k the doors.)
●If the doors have been locked 
from outside of the vehicle and are 
then not unlocked using the wire-
less remote contr ol or smart key 
system, the engine cannot be 
started using the smart key sys-
tem. (However, if the doors have 
been locked from inside the vehi-
cle, the engine can be started 
using the smart key system.)
If it is necessary to start the 
engine, it can be started using the 
procedure in “If the electronic key 
dose not operate properly” 
(  P.418).
●Touching the door lock or unlock 
sensor while wearing gloves may 
prevent lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock op eration is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals  will be shown up 
to two consecutive times. After 
this, no recogniti on signals will be 
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet 
while the electronic key is within 
the effective ran ge, the door may 
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that 
case, follow the fo llowing correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electronic key in a loca- tion 6 ft. (2 m) or  more away from 
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure 
that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to bat- tery-saving mode to disable the 
smart key system. ( P. 1 1 9 )
●If the electronic key is inside the
