WARNING

■

For safe driving

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

Do not adjust the position of the

driver’s seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle.

●

Do not place a cushion between the
driver or passenger and the

seatback.

A cushion may prevent correct pos-
ture from being achieved, and

reduce the effectiveness of the seat

belt and head restraint.

●

Do not place anything under the

front seats.
Objects placed under the front

seats may become jammed in the

seat tracks and stop the seat from
locking in place. This may lead to

an accident and the adjustment

mechanism may also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed

limit when driving on public roads.

●

When driving over long distances,

take regular breaks before you start
to feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while

driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break

immediately.

Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants
are wearing their seat belts
before driving the vehicle.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of injury in the event of

sudden braking, sudden swerving or

an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or

serious injury.

■

Wearing a seat belt

●

Ensure that all passengers wear a

seat belt.

●

Always wear a seat belt properly.

●

Each seat belt should be used by

one person only. Do not use a seat

belt for more than one person at
once, including children.

●

Toyota recommends that children
be seated in the rear seat and

always use a seat belt and/or an

appropriate child restraint system.

●

To achieve a proper seating posi-

tion, do not recline the seat more
than necessary. The seat belt is

most effective when the occupants

are sitting up straight and well back
in the seats.

●

Do not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm.

●

Always wear your seat belt low and
snug across your hips.

■

Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the

seat belt in the proper way. (



P.36)

Women who are pregnant should

position the lap belt as low as possi-

ble over the hips in the same manner
as other occupants, extending the

shoulder belt completely over the

shoulder and avoiding belt contact
with the rounding of the abdominal

area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly,
not only the pregnant woman, but

also the fetus could suffer death or

serious injury as a result of sudden
braking or a collision.

■

People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the

seat belt in the proper way. (

The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the occu-
pants by retracting the seat belts
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision.

The pretensioners do not activate in the

event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.

■

Replacing the belt after the

pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple colli-
sions, the pretensioner will activate for

the first collision, but will not activate for

the second or subsequent collisions.

“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator

Airbag sensor assembly

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-
toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.

■

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

●

Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc.,

may be sustained from SRS airbags,
due to the extremely high speed

deployment (inflation) by hot gases.

●

A loud noise and white powder will be

emitted.

●

Parts of the airbag module (steering

wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)

as well as the front seats, parts of the
front and rear pillars, and roof side

rails, may be hot for several minutes.
The airbag itself may also be hot.

●

The windshield may crack.

●

The brakes and stop lights will be con-

trolled automatically. (

●

Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol-
lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call

to the eCall control center, notifying

them of the vehicle’s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button)

and an agent will attempt to speak

with the occupants to ascertain the
level of emergency and assistance

required. If the occupants are unable

to communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency

and helps to dispatch the necessary

emergency services. (

• An SRS airbag is deployed.

• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.

• The vehicle is involved in a severe

rear-end collision.

: In some cases, the call cannot be

made. (

P.66)

■

SRS airbag deployment conditions

(SRS front airbags)

●

The SRS front airbags will deploy in

the event of an impact that exceeds
the set threshold level (the level of

force corresponding to an approxi-

mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]
frontal collision with a fixed wall that

does not move or deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be

considerably higher in the following situ-

ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such

as a parked vehicle or sign pole,

which can move or deform on impact

• If the vehicle is involved in an under-

ride collision, such as a collision in

which the front of the vehicle “under-
rides”, or goes under, the bed of a

truck

●

Depending on the type of collision, it is

possible that only the seat belt

pretensioners will activate.

■

SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS side and curtain shield air-

bags and SRS front seat center air-

bags)

●

The SRS side and curtain shield air-

bags and SRS front seat center air-
bags will deploy in the event of an

impact that exceeds the set threshold

level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an

approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-

cle colliding with the vehicle cabin

1-1. For safe use

For s

afety
and s

ity

from a direction perpendicular to the
vehicle orientation at an approximate

speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags may

deploy in the event of a severe side

collision.

●

Both SRS curtain shield airbags may

also deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.

■

Conditions under which the SRS

airbags may deploy (inflate), other

than a collision

The SRS front airbags and SRS side

and curtain shield airbags may also

deploy if a serious impact occurs to the
underside of your vehicle. Some exam-

ples are shown in the illustration.

●

Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or

hard surface

●

Falling into or jumping over a deep

hole

●

Landing hard or falling

■

Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front

airbags)

The SRS front airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side

or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is

involved in a low-speed frontal collision.
But, whenever a collision of any type

causes sufficient forward deceleration of

the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front
airbags may occur.

●

Collision from the side

●

Collision from the rear

●

Vehicle rollover

■

Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side

and curtain shield airbags and SRS

front seat center airbags)

The SRS side and curtain shield airbags

and SRS front seat center airbags may

not activate if the vehicle is subjected to
a collision from the side at certain

angles, or a collision to the side of the

vehicle body other than the passenger
compartment.

●

Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger com-

partment

●

Collision from the side at an angle

The SRS side airbags and SRS front
seat center airbags do not generally

inflate if the vehicle is involved in a fron-

tal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it
is involved in a low-speed side collision.

●

Collision from the front

●

Collision from the rear

●

Vehicle rollover

1-1. For safe use

The SRS curtain shield airbags do not
generally inflate if the vehicle is involved

in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is

involved in a low-speed side or low-
speed frontal collision.

●

Collision from the rear

●

Vehicle rollover

■

When to contact any authorized

Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer

In the following cases, the vehicle will

require inspection and/or repair. Contact

any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable

repairer as soon as possible.

●

Any of the SRS airbags have been

inflated.

●

The front of the vehicle is damaged or

deformed, or was involved in an acci-

dent that was not severe enough to
cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.

●

A portion of a door or its surrounding

area is damaged, deformed or has
had a hole made in it, or the vehicle

was involved in an accident that was

not severe enough to cause the SRS
side and curtain shield airbags and

SRS front seat center airbags to

inflate.

●

The pad section of the steering wheel

or dashboard near the front passen-
ger airbag is scratched, cracked, or

otherwise damaged.

●

The surface of the seats with the SRS

side airbag and SRS front seat center

airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.

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.49)

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

●

Do not sit on the edge of the seat or

lean against the dashboard.

●

Do not allow a child to stand in front

of the SRS front passenger airbag
unit or sit on the knees of a front

passenger.

●

Do not allow the front seat occu-

pants to hold items on their knees.

●

Do not lean against the door, the

roof side rail or the front, side and

rear pillars.

●

Do not allow anyone to kneel on the

passenger seat toward the door or

put their head or hands outside the
vehicle.

●

Do not attach anything to or lean
anything against areas such as the

dashboard or steering wheel pad.

These items can become projec-
tiles when the SRS driver and front

passenger airbags deploy.

●

Do not attach anything to areas

such as a door, windshield, side

windows, front or rear pillar, roof
side rail and assist grip. (Except for

the speed limit label



P.419)

●

Do not hang coat hangers or other

hard objects on the coat hooks. All

of these items could become pro-
jectiles and may cause death or

serious injury, should the SRS cur-

tain shield airbags deploy.

1-1. For safe use

For s

afety
and s

ity

WARNING

●

Do not use seat accessories which

cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags and SRS front seat center

airbags inflate as they may interfere

with inflation of the SRS airbags.
Such accessories may prevent the

SRS side airbags and SRS front

seat center airbags from activating
correctly, disable the system or

cause the SRS side airbags and

SRS front seat center airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in

death or serious injury.

●

Do not strike or apply significant

levels of force to the area of the

SRS airbag components or the
front doors.

Doing so can cause the SRS air-

bags to malfunction.

●

Do not touch any of the component

parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as

they may be hot.

●

If breathing becomes difficult after

the SRS airbags have deployed,

open a door or window to allow
fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it

is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-

due as soon as possible to prevent
skin irritation.

●

If the areas where the SRS airbags
are stored, such as the steering

wheel pad and front and rear pillar

garnishes, are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by

any authorized Toyota retailer or

Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.

■

Modification and disposal of SRS

airbag system components

Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-
form any of the following modifica-

tions without consulting your Toyota

retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer. The SRS air-

bags may malfunction or deploy

(inflate) accidentally, causing death or
serious injury.

●

Installation, removal, disassembly
and repair of the SRS airbags

●

Repairs, modifications, removal or
replacement of the steering wheel,

instrument panel, dashboard, seats

or seat upholstery, front, side and

Exhaust gas precautions

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

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful car-
bon monoxide (CO), which is color-

less 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 back door closed.

●

If you smell exhaust gases in the

vehicle even when the back door is

closed, open the windows and have
the vehicle inspected at any autho-

rized 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 engine.

●

Do not leave the vehicle with the

engine 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 engine running in

an area with snow build-up, or

where it is snowing. If snowbanks
build up around the vehicle while

the engine is running, exhaust

gases may collect 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.
