701-2. Child safety
High back type
2 Sit the child in the child
restraint system. Fit the seat
belt to the child restraint sys-
tem according to the manu-
facturer’s instructions and
insert the plate into the
buckle. Make sure that the
belt is not twisted.
Check that the shoulder belt is cor-
rectly positioned over the child’s
shoulder and that the lap belt is as
low as possible. ( P.25)
■Removing a child restraint
system installed with a seat
belt
Press the buckle release button
and fully retract the seat belt.
When releasing the buckle, the
child restraint system may spring
up due to the rebound of the seat
cushion. Release the buckle while
holding down the child restraint system.
Since the seat belt automatically
reels itself, slowly return it to the
stowing position.
WARNING
■When installing a child
restraint system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
●Do not allow children to play
with the seat belt. If the seat belt
becomes twisted around a
child’s neck, it may lead to
choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death. If this
occurs and the buckle cannot
be unfastened, scissors should
be used to cut the belt.
●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.
●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.

tion before using Safety Con- nect.
■Exposure to radio fre-
quency 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 wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards 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
Measurement) Report 86
[1986]
 ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant sci-
entific literature. Over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians
from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and
industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard
Safety information for
Safety Connect

Driving
750 (5  150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehi-
cle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
( P.143)
Toyota does not recommend towing
a trailer with your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed for trailer
towing.
Cargo capacity
Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight) ( P.380)
When 2 people with the com-
bined weight of A lb. (kg) are rid-
ing in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight) of B lb. (kg),
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity will
be C lb. (kg) as follows:
B
*2 lb. (kg) - A*1 lb. (kg) = C*3 lb.
(kg)
*1: A =Weight of people
*2: B =Total load capacity
*3: C =Available cargo and luggage load
In this condition, if 2 more passen-
gers with the combined weight of D
lb. (kg) get on, the available cargo
and luggage load will be reduced E
lb. (kg) as follows:
C lb. (kg) - D*4 lb. (kg) = E*5 lb.
(kg)
*4: D =Additional weight of people
*5: E =Available cargo and luggage load
As shown in the example above,
if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and lug-
gage load will be reduced by an
amount that equals the
increased weight due to the
additional occupants. In other
words, if an increase in the num-
ber of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity
(combined weight of occupants
plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and
luggage on your vehicle.

■Total load capacity and seating
capacity
These details are also described on
the tire and loading information
label. ( P.323)
Vehicle load limits
Vehicle load limits include
total load capacity, seating
capacity, towing capacity
and cargo capacity.
 Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight): P.380
Total load capacity means the
combined weight of occupants,
cargo and luggage.
 Seating capacity:  P.380
Seating capacity means the max-
imum number of occupants
whose estimated average weight
is 150 lb. (68 kg) per person.
Towing capacity
Toyota does not recommend tow-
ing a trailer with your vehicle.
Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity may increase or
decrease depending on the
weight and the number of occu-
pants.
WARNING
■Overloading the vehicle
Do not overload the vehicle.
It may not only cause damage to
the tires, but also degrade steer-
ing and braking ability, resulting in
an accident.
Trailer towing
Toyota does not recom-
mend towing a trailer with
your vehicle. Toyota also
does not recommend the
installation of a tow hitch or
the use of a tow hitch carrier
for a wheelchair, scooter,
bicycle, etc. Your vehicle is
not designed for trailer tow-
ing or for the use of tow
hitch mounted carriers.

1444-1. Before driving
Dinghy towing
Your vehicle is not designed
to be dinghy towed (with 4
wheels on the ground)
behind a motor home.
NOTICE
■To avoid serious damage to
your vehicle
Do not tow your vehicle with the
four wheels on the ground.

BSD/RCTA warning light
To turn the BSD/RCTA system
on and off, operate the
multi-information display
( P.400) or multimedia system
screen (Refer to “MULTIMEDIA
OWNER'S MANUAL”).
When the BSD/RCTA system is
turned OFF, the BSD/RCTA
OFF indicator on the multi-infor-
mation display will illuminate.
●In the following cases, turn off the
BSD/RCTA system. The system
may not operate properly due to
blocked radar waves.
• When towing the vehicle
• When a bicycle carrier or other item is fitted to the rear of the vehi-
cle
• When using a chassis dynamome-
ter or free rolle r device, etc.
• When running the engine and making the wheels rotate while lift-
ing up the vehicle
●If the engine switch is turned to
OFF, the last known status of the
system is maintained. For exam-
ple, if the engine switch is turned
to OFF with the BSD/RCTA deac-
tivated, the BSD/RCTA remains
deactivated the next time the
engine switch is turned to ON.
The radar sensors, one on each
side of the vehicle, are mounted
inside the rear bumper.
Radar sensors
If the radar sensors require repair or
replacement, or the bumper area
around the radar sensors requires
repair, paintwork or replacement,
contact your Toyota dealer for assis-
tance.

●Data that has been modified so
that the user and vehicle cannot
be identified is provided to a
research institution for statistical
processing or similar purposes.
The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system will operate the
following 2 functions using 4
sonar sensors.
Sonar Audible Alarm
The Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system detects objects rear-
ward and warns the driver by warn-
ing message on the multimedia
system screen an d warning beeps.
Automatic Braking
The automatic braking detects
objects rearward and if there is a
high risk of a co llision, the system
decelerates the vehicle and con-
trols the braking to reduce damage.
When reversing
When either strong automatic
braking or torque control is
applied to prevent collision (in
WARNING
●Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) is not a system intended
to replace the driver’s responsi-
bility to check their surroundings
for vehicles or obstacles to
avoid a collision.
●The driver is responsible for
driving safely. Before reversing,
be sure to first depress the
brake pedal and visually check
the surroundings.
●There are some cases in which
the vehicle cannot avoid colli-
sion, because the system oper-
ation has limitations. The
warning sound or automatic
braking may be delayed or may
not operate at all even when an
obstacle is present.
●Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when the vehi-
cle is on the free roller or on the
chassis dynamometer. Other-
wise, the vehicle may move and
it may cause an accident.
●Make sure to set the Automatic
Braking to OFF when towing the
vehicle. Otherwise, the vehicle
may move and it may cause an
accident.
●The system is not designed to
detect people (including chil-
dren), animals or other moving
objects.
●Depending on the vehicle condi-
tion or the surrounding environ-
ment, the sonar sensor’s ability
to detect objects may become
unstable.
