Laws and regulations pertaining to anchorages

The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2.

Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifica-

tions can be used.

This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819.

WARNING

When installing a booster seat 

To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the

shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause

injury or discomfort to the child. (

P. 33)

When installing a child restraint system

Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual

and fix the child restraint system securely in place.

If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other

passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of a sudden

braking or an accident.

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.

Only put a forward-facing child restraint

system on the front seat when unavoid-

able. When installing a forward-facing

child restraint system on the front pas-

senger seat, move the seat as far back

as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF”

indicator light is illuminated. Failure to

do so may result in death or serious

injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

WARNING

When installing a child restraint system

Vehicles with third row seats: When using the LATCH anchors for a child

restraint system, move the seat as far back as possible, with the seatback

close to the child restraint system.

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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event

of an accident or a sudden braking.

Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not

twisted.

Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward

to ensure that it has been securely installed.

After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system

manufacturer.

When securing some types of child restraint systems in second or third

row seats, 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

effectiveness. 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.

Do not use a seat belt extender

If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the

seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause

death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sud-

den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects

around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child

restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached,

or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in

the event of a sudden braking or an accident.

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust

gases if inhale.

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 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 your Toyota

dealer as soon as possible.

When parking

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 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, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be

sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Toyota dealer.

Automatic Collision Notification

In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, the
system is designed to automatically call the response center. The
responding agent receives the vehicle’s location and attempts to
speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emergency.
If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to describe the situation, and requests that
assistance be sent to the location.

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect can work with local author-
ities to assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing
a police report, call the Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-
4331 in the United States, 1-877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico or 1-888-
869-6828 in Canada, and follow the prompts for Safety Connect to
initiate this service.
In addition to assisting law enforcement with recovery of a stolen
vehicle, Safety-Connect-equipped vehicle location data may, under
certain circumstances, be shared with third parties to locate your
vehicle. Further information is available at Toyota.com in the United
States, Toyotapr.com in Puerto Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.

Emergency Assistance Button (“SOS”)

In the event of an emergency on the road, push the “SOS” button to

Exposure to radio frequency signals

The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power
radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wire-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards previously set by the following U.S. and international
standards bodies.

ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]

ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, and physicians from universities, and government health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.
