■When using the roof rails (if equipped)
●To use the roof rails as a roof luggage
carrier, you must fit the roof rails with
two or more genuine Toyota cross rails
or their equivalent.
●When there is no luggage on the roof
luggage carrier Toyota recommends
that the front and rear cross rails be
secured in the positions indicated in
the illustration. This may reduce wind
noise while driving.
WARNING
■Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compart-
ment:
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed pr operly,
may block the driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting t he driver or
passengers, possibly causing an accident.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever poss i-
ble.
●Do not stack cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment highe r
than the seatbacks.
●Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rea r seats (when stacking items)

●Secure all items in the occupant compartment.
●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be pla ced

●Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is no t
