the ECU is cleared . Before remov-
ing the battery terminals, contact
your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stor ed in the battery
will discharge gradu ally even when
the vehicle is not i n use, due to nat-
ural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the battery may discharge,
and the engine ma y be unable to
start. (The battery recharges auto-
matically during driving.)
■After jump starting the vehicle

tem)
Be sure to disable the Stop & Start
system so that the battery can be
charged. ( P.265)
■When recharging or replacing
the battery
●In some cases, i t may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the bat-
tery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The engine may not start on the
first attempt after the battery has
recharged but will start normally
after the se cond attempt. This is
not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memo- rized by the vehicle. When the
battery is reconnected, the system
will return to the mode it was in
before the bat
tery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the
battery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
engine switch wa s in before the
battery discharged, be especially
careful when reconnecting the
battery.
●Vehicles with power back door:
The power back door must be ini-
tialized. ( P.127)
●Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
The Stop & Start system may not
automatically stop the engine for
up to an hour.
■When replacing the battery
●Use a Central Degassing type bat-
tery (European Regulations).
●Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Use a genuine battery specifically
designed for use with the Stop &
Start system or a battery with
equivalent specifications to a gen-
uine battery. If an unsupported
battery is used, Stop & Start sys-
tem functions may be restricted to
protect the battery.
Also, battery per formance may
decrease and the engine may not
be able to restart. Contact your
Toyota dealer for details.
●Vehicles without Stop & Start sys-
tem: Use a battery that the case
size is same as the previous one
(LN3), 20 hour rate capacity
(20HR) is equivalent (70Ah) or
greater, and per formance rating
(CCA) is equivalent (603A) or
greater.
Vehicles with Stop & Start system:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN3), 20
hour rate capacity (20HR) is equiva-
lent (65Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(603A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery can- not be properly secured.

Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from
under the hood, do not open the
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)
away from the fan and belts.
Failure to do so m ay cause the

Capteur de position du siège conducteur
Coussin gonflable de genoux du conducteur
Contact de boucle de ceinture de sécurité conducteur
Capteurs d'impact avant
Ensemble de capteurs de coussins gonflables
Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES INTELLI-
GENTS conçus selon les normes de sécurité américaines applica-
bles aux véhicules à moteur (FMVSS208). L'ensemble de capteurs
de coussins gonflables (ECU) régule le déploiement des coussins
gonflables sur la base des informa tions qu'il reçoit des capteurs,
etc., indiqués ci-dessus dans le schéma illustrant les composants du
système. Parmi ces informations figurent la gravité du choc et l'occu-
pation du véhicule par les passagers. Le déploiement rapide des
coussins gonflables est obtenu au moyen d'une réaction chimique
dans les dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un gaz inoffen sif per-
mettant d'amortir le mouvement des occupants.
AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux
coussins gonflables SRS
Respectez les précautions suiva-
ntes concernant les coussins gon-
flables SRS.
Le non-respect de ces précau-
tions peut occasionner des bless-
ures graves, voire mortelles.
●Le conducteur et tous les pas-
sagers du véhicule doivent por-
ter correctement leur ceinture
de sécurité.
Les coussins gonflables SRS
sont des disposit ifs supplémen-
taires à utiliser avec les cein-
tures de sécurité.
●Le coussin gonflable conduc-
teur SRS se déploie avec une
force considérable, pouvant
occasionner des blessures
graves, voire mortelles, si le
conducteur se trouve très près
du coussin gonflable. L'autorité
fédérale chargée de la sécurité
routière aux États-Unis
(NHTSA) conseille:
La zone à risque du coussin
gonflable conducteur se situant
dans les premiers 2 à 3 in. (50 à
75 mm) de déploiement, vous
placer à 10 in. (250 mm) de
votre coussin gonflable conduc-
teur vous garantit une marge de
sécurité suffisante. Cette dis-
tance est à mesurer entre le
centre du volant et le sternum.
Si vous êtes assis à moins de
10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez
changer votre position de con-
duite de plusieurs façons:
• Reculez votre siège le plus pos- sible, de manière à pouvoir
encore atteindre confortable-
ment les pédales.

AVERTISSEMENT
●Ne fixez rien aux portes, à la
vitre du pare-brise, aux vitres
latérales, aux montants avant et
arrière, au rail latéral de toit et à
la poignée de maintien.
●Ne suspendez aucun cintre ou
objet dur aux crochets à vête-
ments. Tous ces objets pour-
raient se transformer en
projectiles et causer des bless-
ures graves, voire mortelles en
cas de déploiement des couss-
ins gonflables rideaux SRS.
●Si un cache en vinyle est placé
sur la zone où le coussin gon-
flable de genoux SRS se
déploie, assurez-vous de le
retirer.
●N'utilisez aucun accessoire de
siège recouvrant les zones de
déploiement des coussins gon-
flables latéraux SRS et du cous-
sin gonflable de coussin de
siège SRS, car il risque de
gêner le déploiement des cous-
sins gonflables SRS. De tels
accessoires peuvent empêcher
les coussins gonflables latéraux
et le coussin gonflable de cous-
sin de siège de s'activer cor-
rectement, désactiver le
système ou entraîner le déploie-
ment accidentel des coussins
gonflables latéraux et du cous-
sin gonflable de coussin de
siège, occasionnant des bless-
ures graves, voire mortelles.
●Évitez de faire subir des chocs
ou des pressions excessives
aux parties renfermant les com-
posants de coussins gonflables
SRS ou aux portes avant. En
effet, cela pourrait entraîner un
dysfonctionnement des couss-
ins gonflables SRS.
●Ne touchez aucun composant
immédiatement après le
déploiement (gonflage) des
coussins gonflables SRS, car ils
peuvent être chauds.
●Si vous avez des difficultés à
respirer après le déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS,
ouvrez une porte ou une vitre
pour faire entrer de l'air frais, ou
bien descendez du véhicule si
cela ne présente pas de danger.
Essuyez tout résidu dès que
possible afin d'éviter d'éventu-
elles irritations de la peau.
●Si les parties renfermant les
coussins gonflables SRS,
comme les garnitures du volant
et des montants avant et
arrière, sont endommagées ou
craquelées, faites-les remplacer
par votre concessionnaire Toy-
ota.
●Ne placez rien sur le siège du
passager avant, comme un
coussin par exemple. Cela a
pour conséquence de répartir le
poids du passager sur toute la
surface du siège, ce qui
empêche le capteur de détecter
correctement le poids du pas-
sager. En conséquence, les
coussins gonflables frontaux
SRS du passager avant ris-
quent de ne pas se déployer en
cas de collision.
