561-2. Child safety
Owners Manual_USA_M62064_en
A child restraint system for a
small child or baby must itself be
properly restrained on the seat
with the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt.
■Installing child restraint
system using a seat belt
(child restraint lock func-
tion belt)
Install the child restraint system
in accordance to the operation
manual enclosed with the child
restraint system.
■Rear-facing Infant
seat/convertible seat
1 Adjust the head restraint to
the lowermost position.
( P.145)
WARNING
●Do not allow the child to lean
his/her head or any part of
his/her body against the door or
the area of the seat, front or rear
pillars, or roof side rails from
which the SRS side airbags or
SRS curtain shield airbags
deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint sys-
tem. It is dangerous if the SRS
side and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could
cause death or serious injury to
the child.
●When a booster seat is
installed, always ensure that the
shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of the child’s
shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck,
but not so that it could fall off the
child’s shoulder.
●Use child restraint system suit-
able to the age and size of the
child and install it to the rear
seat.
●If the driver’s seat interferes
with the child restraint system
and prevents it from being
attached correct ly, attach the
child restraint system to the
right-hand rear seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat
so that it does not interfere with
the child restraint system.

For safety and security
When the power switch is turned
to ON, the red indicator light
comes on for 2 seconds then
turns off. Afterward, the green
indicator light comes on, indicat-
ing that the service is active.
The following indicator light pat-
terns indicate specific system
usage conditions:
Green indicator light on =
Active service
Green indicator light flashing
= Safety Connect call in pro-
cess
Red indicator light (except at
vehicle start-up) = System
malfunction (contact your Toy-
ota dealer)
No indicator light (off) =
Safety Connect service not
active
■Automatic Collision Notifi-
cation
In case of either airbag deploy-
ment or severe rear-end colli-
sion, the system is designed to
automatically call the response
center. The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location
and attempts to speak with the
vehicle occupants to assess the
level of emergency. If the occu- pants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically
treats the call as an emergency,
contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to
describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent
to the location.
■Stolen Vehicle Location
If your vehicle is stolen, Safety
Connect can work with local
authorities to assist them in
locating and recovering the
vehicle. After filing a police
report, call the Safety Connect
response center at 1-800-331-
4331 in the United States, 1-
877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico or
1-888-869-6828 in Canada, and
follow the prompts for Safety
Connect to initiate this service.
In addition to assisting law
enforcement with recovery of a
stolen vehicle, Safety-Connect-
equipped vehicle location data
may, under certain circum-
stances, be shared with third
parties to locate your vehicle.
Further information is available
at Toyota.com.

■The Secondary Collision
Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the sys-
tem operates, the brakes and
brake lights are automatically
controlled to reduce the vehicle
speed and help reduce the pos-
sibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision.

tems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC/VSC/ABS systems
are operating.
■Disabling the TRAC system

or snow, the TRAC system may
reduce power from the fuel cell sys-
tem to the wheels. Pressing to
turn the system off may make it eas-
ier for you to rock the vehicle in

erate while turning
●The system detects that the vehi-
cle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released

tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is
frequent steering input over an
extended period of time. The steer-
ing wheel may feel heavy as a
result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the fuel
cell system off. The EPS system
should return to normal within 10
minutes.

uations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or
snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the
road
●When driving over roads with
potholes or uneven surfaces

Maintenance and care
■When cleaning the carpeted
portions of the glove box, con-
sole box, etc.
If a strong adhesive tape is used,
there is a possibility that the surface
of the carpet could be damaged.
■Front side windows with IR pro-
tective coating (vehicles with IR
protective coating)
The front side windows have IR pro-
tective coating. T o prevent any dam-
age to the IR prote ctive coating,
observe the following:
●If the windows are dirty, gently
wipe them with a cloth soaked in
water or lukewarm water as soon
as possible.
●If the windows are very dirty, do
not open and close them repeat-
edly.
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in
the vehicle, such as on the floor,
in the traction battery air vents,
and in the trunk. ( P. 9 0 )
Doing so may cause the traction
battery, electrical components,
etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS com-
ponents or wiring in the vehicle
interior wet. ( P.34)
An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or
not function properly, resulting
in death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (espe-
cially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel
may reflect off the windshield,
obstructing the dr iver’s view and
leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types
of detergent, as they may dis-
color the vehicle interior or
cause streaks or damage to
painted surfaces:
• Areas other than the seats and steering wheel: Organic sub-
stances such as benzene or
gasoline, alkaline or acidic solu-
tions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solu- tions, such as th inner, benzene,
and alcohol
• Steering wheel: Organic sub- stances, such as thinner, and
cleaner that contains alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel’s
or other interior part’s painted
surface may be damaged.
■Preventing damage to leather
surfaces
Observe the following precautions
to avoid damage to and deteriora-
tion of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods of time. Park the vehicle in
the shade, especially during
summer.
●Do not place items made of
vinyl, plastic, or containing wax
on the upholstery, as they may
stick to the leather surface if the
vehicle interior heats up signifi-
cantly.
