Important points

Safety notes

WARNING

The vehicle transmits radio waves 

whenever the Smart Key System 

is used to lock or unlock the 

doors, open the trunk lid, or when 

the engine switch is operated. 

Therefore, this system may affect 

the operation of implantable car-

diac pacemakers and implantable 

cardioverter defibrillators.

Persons with implantable cardiac 

pacemakers or implantable car-

dioverter defibrillators should stay 

22 cm or more away from the 

vehicle when opening or closing a 

door. Also, they should refrain 

from leaning on the vehicle or 

looking through the windows from 

outside when a door is opened or 

closed.

Users of any electrical medical 

device other than implantable car-

diac pacemakers, cardiac resyn-

chronization therapy-pacemakers 

or implantable cardioverter 

defibrillators should consult their 

doctor or the manufacturer of the 

device for information about its 

operation under the influence of 

radio waves.

are also restored, if the vehicle 
has been used in the meantime 
by a person with a different 
remote control.
Changes to the settings are 
automatically stored in the driver 
profile currently activated. If 
another driver profile is selected 
via Toyota Supra Command, the 
settings stored in it will be 
applied automatically.
The new driver profile is 
assigned to the remote control 
currently used.
There is an additional guest pro-
file available that is not assigned 
to any remote control. It can be 
used to apply settings in the 
vehicle without changing the 
personal driver profiles.

For the system to be able to 
identify the driver profile associ-
ated to a particular driver, the 
detected remote control must be 
clearly allocated to the driver.
This is the case when:
• The driver is only carrying his 

or her own remote control.

• The driver unlocks the vehi-

cle.

• The driver gets into the vehi-

cle through the driver's door.

After switching on the Control

Safety information

WARNING

Use of a safety belt to buckle 

more than one person will poten-

tially defeat the ability of the 

safety belt to serve its protective 

function. There is a risk of injuries 

or danger to life. Do not allow 

more than one person to wear a 

single safety belt. Infants and chil-

dren are not allowed on an occu-

pant's lap, but must be 

transported and secured in desig-

nated child restraint systems.

WARNING

The efficacy of safety gear, includ-

ing safety belts, can be limited or 

lost when safety belts are fas-

tened incorrectly. An incorrectly 

fastened safety belt can cause 

additional injuries, for instance in 

the event of an accident or during 

braking and evasive maneuvers. 

There is a risk of injuries or dan-

ger to life. Make sure that all 

occupants are wearing safety 

belts correctly.

WARNING

The efficacy of safety gear, includ-

ing safety belts, may not be fully 

functional or fail in the following 

situations:

• The safety belts or safety belt 

buckles are damaged, soiled, or 

changed in any other way.

• Belt tensioners or belt retractors 

were modified.

Safety belts can be imperceptibly 

damaged in the event of an acci-

dent. There is a risk of injuries or 

danger to life. Do not modify 

safety belts, safety belt buckles, 

belt tensioners, belt retractors or 

belt anchors and keep them 

clean. Have the safety belts 

checked after an accident at the 

your Toyota dealer.

posture not only helps reduce 
fatigue while driving, but helps 
ensure that the occupant protec-
tion devices, such as the seat 
belts and airbags, will operate 
correctly in a collision, reducing 
the impact to the occupants.

The most basic occupant pro-

tection device is the seat belt. 
The airbags are designed to 
supplement the seat belts, not 
be used in place of them. Wear-
ing the seat belt correctly 
ensures that the occupants are 
securely held in the seats and 
helps prevent them from con-
tacting interior parts or being 
thrown from the vehicle in a col-

WARNING

Do not recline the seatback 

excessively while driving.

To reduce the risk of sliding under 

the lap belt during a collision, do 

not recline the seat more than 

necessary. If the seat is too 

reclined, the lap belt may slide 

past the hips and apply restraint 

forces directly to the abdomen, or 

your neck may contact the shoul-

der belt, increasing the risk of 

death or serious injury in the 

event of an accident. Adjustments 

should not be made while driving 

as the seat may unexpectedly 

move and cause the driver to lose 

control of the vehicle.

WARNING

Make sure that all passengers 

wear their seat belt correctly.

Use of seat belts may be manda-

tory under local laws and regula-

tions. If a seat belt is not worn 

properly, an occupant may con-

tact interior parts or be thrown 

from the vehicle in the case of 

sudden braking or a collision, pos-

sibly resulting in death or serious 

injury. Also, if an occupant has an 

incorrect riding posture, the air-

bags will be ineffectual as occu-

pant protection devices and may 

actually cause injuries when they 

deploy.

WARNING

Do not allow occupants to ride 

with a child in their arms or on 

their lap. In the case of sudden 

braking or a collision, the child 

may hit their head on the instru-

ment panel or windshield, or may 

even be thrown from the vehicle.

The seat belts are designed to 

protect persons of average adult 

height and weight. A child which 

is 150 cm or shorter should be sat 

in an appropriately sized child 

restraint system, such as a Toyota

not allow a child to be unre-

strained in the vehicle while it is 

moving, as doing so is extremely 

dangerous.

Never leave children unattended 

in the vehicle, and never allow 

children to have or use the

the vehicle or shift the vehicle into 

neutral. There is also a danger 

that children may injure them-

selves by playing with the win-

dows or other features of the 

vehicle. In addition, heat build-up 

or extremely cold temperatures 

inside the vehicle can be fatal to 

children.

●

When the vehicle is parked 

under direct sunlight, the tem-

perature inside the vehicle can 

increase to over 122°F, even in 

winter. In this situation, occu-

tally, it may lead to unexpected 

injuries.

●

Do not allow a child to open and 

close the doors. When closing a 

door, be careful so that the 

child’s hands and feet to not get 

caught in the door.
