1-1. For safe use

Exhaust gas precau-

tions

Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful

carbon monoxide (CO), which is

colorless and odorless. Observe

the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause

exhaust gases 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 trunk lid closed.

●

If you smell exhaust gases in

the vehicle even when the trunk

lid is closed, open the windows

and have the vehicle inspected

at your Toyota dealer 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 on 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 sys-

tem is operating, exhaust gases

may collect and enter the vehi-

cle.

■

Exhaust pipe

The exhaust system needs to be

checked periodically. If there is a

hole or crack caused by corro-

sion, damage to a joint or abnor-

mal exhaust noise, be sure to

have the vehicle inspected and

repaired by your Toyota dealer.

Riding with children

Observe the following pre-
cautions when children are
in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child,
until the child becomes
large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.



It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact
with the shift lever, wiper
switch, etc.



Use the rear door child-pro-
tector lock or the window
lock switch to avoid children
opening the door while driv-
ing or operating the power
window accidentally.
(

P.120, 140)



Do not let small children
operate equipment which
may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power
window, hood, trunk, seats,
etc.

WARNING

■

When children are in the vehi-

cle

Never leave children unattended

in the vehicle, and never allow

children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start 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.

Child restraint sys-

tems

Before installing a child
restraint system in the vehi-
cle, there are precautions
that need to be observed,
different types of child
restraint systems, as well as
installation methods, etc.,
written in this manual.

Use a child restraint system
when riding with a small child
that cannot properly use a

Points to remember

WARNING

■

When a child is riding

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

1-2. Child safety

For safety and secu

rity

WARNING

●

For effective protection in auto-

mobile accidents and sudden

stops, a child must be properly

restrained, using a seat belt or

child restraint system which is

correctly installed. For installa-

tion details, refer to the opera-

tion manual enclosed with the

child restraint system. General

installation instruction is pro-

vided in this manual.

●

Toyota strongly urges the use of

a proper child restraint system

that conforms to the weight and

size of the child, installed on the

rear seat. According to accident

statistics, the child is safer when

properly restrained in the rear

seat than in the front seat.

●

Holding a child in your or some-

one else’s arms is not a substi-

tute for a child restraint system.

In an accident, the child can be

crushed against the windshield

or between the holder and the

interior of the vehicle.

■

Handling the child restraint

system

If the child restraint system is not

properly fixed in place, the child or

other passengers may be seri-

ously injured or even killed in the

event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving, or an accident.

●

If the vehicle were to receive a

strong impact from an accident,

etc., it is possible that the child

restraint system has damage

that is not readily visible. In

such cases, do not reuse the

restraint system.

●

For Puerto Rico: Depending on

the child restraint system, instal-

lation may be difficult or impos-

sible. In those cases, check

whether the child restraint sys-

tem is suitable for installment in

the vehicle. (



P.54) Be sure to

install and observe the usage

rules after carefully reading the

child restraint system fixing

method in this manual, as well

as the operation manual

enclosed with the child restraint

system.

●

Except for Puerto Rico: Make

sure you have complied with all

installation instructions provided

with the child restraint system

manufacturer and that the sys-

tem is properly secured.

●

Keep the child restraint system

properly secured on the seat

even if it is not in use. Do not

store the child restraint system

unsecured in the passenger

compartment.

●

If it is necessary to detach the

child restraint system, remove it

from the vehicle or store it

securely in the trunk.

WARNING

■

When using a child restraint

system

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

●

Never install a rear-facing child

restraint system on the front

passenger seat even if the “AIR

BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-

minated. In the event of an acci-

dent, the force of the rapid

inflation of the front passenger

airbag can cause death or seri-

ous injury to the child if the

rear-facing child restraint sys-

tem is installed on the front pas-

senger seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint

system may be installed on the

front passenger seat only when

it is unavoidable. A child

restraint system that requires a

top tether strap should not be

used in the front passenger seat

since there is no top tether strap

anchor for the front passenger

seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint

system may be installed on the

front passenger seat only when

it is unavoidable. When install-

ing a forward-facing child

restraint system on the front

passenger seat, adjust the seat-

back angle to the most upright

position, move the seat to the

rearmost position, and raise the

seat to the upper most position,

even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-

cator light is illuminated. If the

head restraint interferes with the

child restraint system installa-

tion and the head restraint can

be removed, remove the head

restraint.

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 correctly, 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.

able outside the LATIN area.
When securing some types of
child restraint systems in rear
seat, it may not be possible to
properly use the seat belts in
positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with
it or affecting seat belt effective-
ness. Be sure your seat belt fits
snugly across your shoulder and
low on your hips. If it does not,
or if it interferes with the child
restraint, move to a different
position. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.



When installing a child
restraint in the rear seats,
adjust the front seat so that it
does not interfere with the
child or child restraint system.



When installing a child seat
with support base, if the child
seat interferes with the seat-
back when latching it into the
support base, adjust the seat-
back rearward until there is no
interference.



If the seat belt shoulder
anchor is ahead of the child
seat belt guide, move the seat
cushion forward.



When installing a junior seat,
if the child in your child
restraint system is in a very
upright position, adjust the
seatback angle to the most
comfortable position. And if
the seat belt shoulder anchor
is ahead of the child seat belt
guide, move the seat cushion
forward.

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.
