Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may find explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle and the illustrations used may differ from your vehi-
cle.

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
Over time, your vehicle may receive updates that modify the vehicle and
make material in this manual incomplete and/or inaccurate. Because of Toy-
ota's interest in continual product improvement, Toyota reserves the right to
make changes to this manual at any time without notice.

If Toyota chooses to update the manual, updated versions can be viewed by
selecting your vehicle by model and year at the following URL or on your
mobile device if you have access to the Toyota app.

Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound
coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehi-
cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance,
repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products. Modi-
fication with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance, safety
or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition,
damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be
covered under warranty.

Also, remodeling like this will have an effect on advanced safety equipment
such as Toyota Safety Sense P and there is a danger that it will not work
properly or the danger that it may work in situations where it should not be
working.

Installing electronic devices and radios increases the risk of cyber attacks
through the installed parts, which may lead to unexpected accidents and leak-
age of personal information.

Toyota does not make any guarantees for problems caused by installing non-
genuine Toyota products.

Your vehicle may transmit the data recorded in these computers to Toyota
without notification to you.

●

Data usage

Toyota may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. s.2301 et seq., makes it illegal
for motor vehicle manufacturers to void a motor vehicle warranty or deny war-
ranty coverage solely because an aftermarket or recycled part has been used
to repair the vehicle or someone other than the authorized service provider
performed service on the vehicle. This provision does not apply to a new
motor vehicle purchased solely for commercial or industrial use.
Under federal law, a manufacturer may deny warranty coverage and charge
for repairs to a vehicle if it is discovered that an aftermarket or recycled part
installed on the vehicle is defective or was installed incorrectly and caused
damage to another part of the vehicle otherwise covered under warranty. The
Federal Trade Commission requires that a manufacturer demonstrate that an
aftermarket or recycled part or service performed by a person other than an
authorized service provider caused damage to another part of the vehicle oth-
erwise covered under warranty before denying warranty coverage. Addition-
ally, federal law allows a manufacturer to void a motor vehicle warranty or
deny warranty coverage if the manufacturer provides the article or service to
consumers free of charge under the warranty or the manufacturer has
secured a waiver from the Federal Trade Commission.

4RUNNER (U)

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-

tened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake

pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ-
ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

●

Disclosure of the EDR data

Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except
when:

• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehi-

cle) is obtained

• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern-

ment agency

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit

However, if necessary, Toyota may:

• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing

information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain

explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt

pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be

sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner

removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota dealer

before you scrap your vehicle.

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo-

nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con-

trol batteries.

WARNING

■

General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-

ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-

cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and

reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in

death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other

drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that

distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or

reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,

your occupants or others.

■

General precaution regarding children’s safety

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 themselves by playing with

the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition,

heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal

to children.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering

■

When installing the driver’s floor mat

●

Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year

●

Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.

●

Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-

vided.

●

Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.

●

Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.

■

Before driving

●

Check that the floor mat is securely

fixed in the correct place with all the

provided retaining hooks (clips). Be

especially careful to perform this check

WARNING

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 posture 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 acci-

dent 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.
