Exhaust gas precautions

Exhaust gases contain a substance harmful to the human body if

inhaled.

WARNING

Exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless 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 cause death or a serious health

hazard.

⬛

Important points while driving

Keep the back door closed.
If you smell exhaust gas in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open

the windows to allow fresh air in and have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota

dealer immediately.

⬛

When parking the vehicle

⚫

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a garage,
stop the engine.

⚫

Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and

ensure that exhaust gases 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 run-

ning, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.

⬛

Exhaust pipes

The exhaust pipes need to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or crack

caused by corrosion, damage to a joint, or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to

have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.

1-2. Safety information for children

When children are in the vehicle

Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.

⚫

Children should always use a seat belt. When a child who cannot prop-

erly wear the seat belt is in the vehicle, use a proper child restraint sys-

tem. (

➞

P. 49)

⚫

It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental

contact with the device that operates the vehicle.

⚫

Use the child-protector lock (

➞

P. 135) and window lock switch

(

➞

P. 160) to prevent children from opening doors or accidentally oper-

ating power windows while the vehicle is in motion.

⚫

Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch

body parts, such as power windows, hood, doors, seats, etc.

WARNING

⚫

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. High temperatures inside the
vehicle can cause heatstroke and dehydration, which can cause death or a seri-

ous health hazard.
Also, children may operate devices inside the vehicle and get caught in the

door window or move a device that operates the vehicle, leading to an unfore-

seen accident.

⚫

When children are in the vehicle, please refer to P. 49, which provides precau-
tions for ensuring your child’s safety, directions on installing child restraint sys-

tems, and other related information.

ecurity

Child restraint systems

Before installing a child restraint system in the vehicle, there are pre-

cautions 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 seat belt. For the child’s safety, install the child restraint

system to a rear seat.
Be sure to follow the installation method that is in the operation man-

ual enclosed with the restraint system.

⚫

The use of a Toyota genuine child restraint system is recommended,

as it is safer to use in this vehicle.
Toyota genuine child restraint systems are made specifically for Toy-

ota vehicles. They can be purchased at a Toyota dealer.

Points to remember

⚫

Prioritize and observe the warnings, as well as the laws and regulations

for child restraint systems.

⚫

Use a child restraint system until the child becomes large enough to

properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.

⚫

Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of the

child.

⚫

Note that not all child restraint systems can fit in all vehicles. Before

using or purchasing a child restraint system, check the compatibility of

the child restraint system with seat positions. (

WARNING

⬛

When a child is riding

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

⚫

For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system which

is correctly installed. For installation details, refer to the operation manual

enclosed with the child restraint system. General installation instruction is

provided in this manual.

⚫

Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the weight and size of the child, installed on the rear seat. Accord-

ing 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 someone else’s arms is not a substitute for a child
restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind-

shield 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 seriously injured or even caused death in the event of sud-

den braking, sudden swerving, or an accident.

⚫

If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is pos-
sible that the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visible. In

such cases, do not reuse the restraint system.

⚫

Depending on the child restraint system, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint system is suita-

ble for installment in the vehicle. (

➞

P. 55)

⚫

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.

⚫

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 vehi-
cle or store it securely in the luggage compartment.

WARNING

⬛

When using a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

⚫

Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat.
The force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause

death or serious injury to children in the event of an accident.
There is a label(s) on the passenger side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden

to attach a rear-facing child restraint system to the front passenger seat.
Details of the label(s) are shown in the illustration below.

1-2. Safety information for children

WARNING

⚫

Only put a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front seat

when unavoidable. When installing

a forward-facing child restraint on

the front passenger seat, move the

seat as far back as possible.
Failing to do so may result in death

or serious injury if the airbags

deploy (inflate).

⚫

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 system.

It is dangerous if the SRS side air-

bags and curtain shield airbags

inflate, and the impact could cause

death or serious injury to the child.

⚫

When a junior seat (booster seat) is installed, always ensure that the shoul-
der 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 suitable 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 pre-

vents it from being attached cor-

rectly, attach the child restraint

system to the right-hand rear seat

(left-hand drive vehicles) or the left-

hand rear seat (right-hand drive

vehicles).

⚫

Adjust the front passenger seat so
that it does not interfere with the

child restraint system.
