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.50)
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases contain harmful car-
bon monoxide (CO), which is color- less and odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to 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 side windows and have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized 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 operating 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.

cation with the eCall system operator.
Other SOS buttons available in other
systems of a motor vehicle do not
relate to the device and are not
intended for communication with the
eCall system operator.
■Automatic Emergency Calls
If any airbag deploys, the system is
designed to automatically call the
eCall control center.* The answer-
ing operator receives the vehicle’s
location, the time of the incident
and the vehicle VIN, and attempts
to speak with the vehicle occupants
to assess the situation. If the occu-
pants are unable to communicate,
the operator automatically treats
the call as an emergency and con-
tacts the nearest emergency ser-
vices provider (112 system etc.) to
describe the situation and request
that assistance be sent to the loca-
tion.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P.68)
■Manual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency,
press the “SOS” button to call the
eCall control center.* The answer-
ing operator will determine your
vehicle’s location, assess the situa-
tion, and dispatch the necessary
assistance required.
Make sure to open the cover before
pressing the “SOS” button.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” but-
ton, tell the operator that you are not
experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P.68)
When the power switch is turned to
ON, the red indicator light will illumi-
nate for 10 seconds. Then, the
green indicator light will illuminate
for 2 seconds and remain illumi-
nated if the system is functioning
properly.
The indicator lights indicate the fol-
lowing:
 If the green indicator light illumi-
nates and stays on, the system
is enabled.
 If the green indicator light flashes
twice per second, an automatic
or manual Emergency Call is
being made.
 If the red indicator light illumi-
nates at any time other than
immediately after the power
switch is turned to ON, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning or

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may
not be made
●It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the fol-
lowing situations. In such cases, report to emergency services pro-vider (112 system etc.) by other
means such as nearby public phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel-
lular phone service area, it may be difficult to connect to the eCall con-trol center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to connect to the eCall control center,
you may not be able to connect to the eCall control center to make Emergency Calls and contact emer-
gency services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu-
lar phone service area, the Emer- gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emer-
gency Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the sys-
tem makes repeated attempts to connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot connect to the
eCall control center due to poor radio wave reception, the system may not be able to connect to the
cellular network and the call may finish without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approxi-
mately 30 seconds to indicate this disconnection.
●If the 12-volt battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnec-tion, the system may not be able to
connect to the eCall control center.
■When the Emergency Call sys-
tem is replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should be registered. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■For your safety
●Please drive safely.The function of this system is to
assist you in making the Emer- gency Call in case of accidents such as traffic accidents or sudden
medical emergencies, and it does not protect the driver or passengers in any way. Please drive safely and
fasten your seatbelts at all times for your safety.
●In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
●If you smell anything burning or other unusual smells, leave the vehicle and evacuate to a safe area
immediately.
