system. 
Further information regarding fre- 
quency bands, power levels,  
antenna positions and installation  
provisions for the installation of RF- 
transmitters, is available on request  
at any authorized Toyota retailer or  
Toyota authorized repairer, or any

High voltage parts and cables on  
the hybrid electric vehicles emit  
approximately the same amount of  
electromagnetic waves as the con- 
ventional gasoline powered vehi- 
cles or home electronic appliances  
despite of their electromagnetic  
shielding. 
Unwanted noise may occur in the  
reception of the radio frequency  
transmitter (RF-transmitter). 
The vehicle is equipped with  
sophisticated computers that will  
record certain data, such as: 
• Engine speed/Electric motor  
speed (traction motor speed) 
• Accelerator status 
• Brake status 
• Vehicle speed 
• Operation status of the driving  
assist systems 
• Images from the cameras
Your vehicle is equipped with cameras.  
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer 
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable repairer for the location of 
recording cameras.
The recorded data varies according  
to the vehicle grade level, options  
and destinations with which it is  
equipped. 
These computers do not record  
conversations or sounds, and only  
record images outside of the vehi- 
cle in certain situations. 
 Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in  
this computer to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and develop-
ment, and improve quality. 
Toyota will not disclose the recorded  
data to a third party except: 
• With the consent of the vehicle owner  
or with the consent of the lessee if  
the vehicle is leased 
• 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 
• For research purposes where the  
data is not tied to a specific vehicle or 
vehicle owner
 Recorded image information can  
be erased by any authorized  
Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- 
rized repairer, or any reliable  
repairer.
The image recording function can be  
disabled. However, if the function is dis-
abled, data from when the system oper-
ates will not be available.

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 acci- 
dent 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 any authorized Toyota  
retailer or Toyota authorized  
repairer, or any reliable repairer  
before you scrap your vehicle.

Scrapping of your Toyota
WARNING
■General precautions while driv- ing 
Driving under the influence: Never  drive your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have  
impaired your ability to operate your  vehicle. 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 acci- dents. 
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 vehi- 
cle or shift the vehicle into neutral.  There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with  
the windows, or other features of the  vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside  
the vehicle can be fatal to children.

it comes fully over the shoulder,  
but does not come into contact  
with the neck or slide off the  
shoulder. 
 Position the lap belt as low as  
possible over the hips. 
 Adjust the position of the  
seatback. Sit up straight and well  
back in the seat. 
 Do not twist the seat belt.
■Child seat belt usage 
The seat belts of your vehicle were prin- cipally designed for persons of adult  
size.
●Use a child restraint system appropri-
ate for the child, until the child  becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. ( P.49)
●When the child becomes large  enough to properly wear the vehicle’s  
seat belt, follow the instructions  regarding seat belt usage. ( P.35)
■Seat belt regulations

plate into the buckle until a click  
sound is heard.
WARNING
●Inspect the seat belt system period- ically. Check for cuts, fraying, and  
loose parts. Do not use a damaged  seat belt until it is replaced. Dam-aged seat belts cannot protect an  
occupant from death or serious  injury.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.If the seat belt does not function  
correctly, immediately contact any  authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable

2To release the seat belt, press  
the release button  .
■Emergency locking retractor (ELR) 
The retractor will lock the belt during a  sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if you lean forward too quickly.  
When the seat belt locks, pull the belt  strongly and then release the belt, then a slow and easy pulling will allow the  
belt to extend.
■After using the rear center seat belt 
Stow seat belt buckle in the pocket.
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.
■PCS-linked seat belt pretensioner  
control (vehicles with Toyota Safety  Sense) 
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter- 
mines that the possibility of a collision  with a vehicle is high, the seat belt pretensioners will be prepared to oper- 
ate.

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.

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 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 system is operating, exhaust gases may col- 
lect 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.
