Please note that this manual 
applies to all models and 
explains all equipment, including 
options. Therefore, you may find 
some explanations for equip-
ment not installed on your vehi-
cle.
All specifications provided in this 
manual are current at the time of 
printing. However, because of 
the Toyota policy of continual 
product improvement, we 
reserve the right to make 
changes at any time without 
notice.
Depending on specifications, 
the vehicle shown in the illustra-
tions may differ from your vehi-
cle in terms of equipment.
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 mal-
function.A wide variety of non-genuine 
spare parts and accessories for 
Toyota vehicles are currently 
available in the market. You 
should know that Toyota does 
not warrant these products and 
is not responsible for their per-
formance, repair, or replace-
ment, or for any damage they 
may cause to, or adverse effect 
they may have on, your Toyota 
vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modi-
fied with non-genuine Toyota 
products. Modification with 
non-genuine Toyota products 
could affect its performance, 
safety or durability, and may 
even violate governmental regu-
lations. In addition, damage or 
performance problems resulting 
from the modification may not 
be covered under warranty.
The installation of a mobile 
two-way radio system in your 
vehicle could affect electronic 
systems such as:

The vehicle is equipped with 
sophisticated computers that will 
record certain data, such as:
The recorded data varies 
according to the vehicle grade 
level and options with which it is 
equipped.
These computers do not record 
conversations or sounds, and 
only record images outside of 
the vehicle in certain situations.
• Engine speed/Electric motor  speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving  assist systems, such as the 
ABS and pre-collision system
• Images from the front camera  (available only when certain 
safety systems are activated, 
which varies depending on 
the vehicle specifications).
 Data Transmission
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 mal-
functions, conduct research and 
development, 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 
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the  data is not tied to a specific vehi-
cle or vehicle owner
 Recorded image information 
can be erased by your Toyota 
dealer.
The image recording function can 
be disabled. However, if the func-
tion is disabled, data from when the 
pre-collision system operates will 
not be available.

For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seat-
back so that you are sitting 
straight up and so that you do 
not have to lean forward to 
steer. ( P.118)
Adjust the seat so that you 
can depress the pedals fully 
and so that your arms bend 
slightly at the elbow when 
gripping the steering wheel. 
( P.118)
Lock the head restraint in 
place with the center of the 
head restraint closest to the 
top of your ears. ( P.121)
Wear the seat belt correctly. 
( P.25)
WARNING
■Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is 
securely fixed in the correct 
place with all the provided 
retaining hooks (c lips). Be espe-
cially careful to perform this 
check after cleaning the floor.
●With the engine stopped and 
the shift lever in P (continuously 
variable transmission) or N 
(manual transmission), fully 
depress each pedal to the floor 
to make sure it does not inter-
fere with the floor mat.
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the 
seat and mirror to an appro-
priate position before driv-
ing.

For safety and security
Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped wi th ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The 
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system 
components diagram above. This information includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical 
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to 
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy 
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising 
etc., may be sustained from SRS 
airbags, due to the extremely high 
speed deployment (inflation) by 
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will 
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 
inflator) as well as the front seats, 
parts of the front  and rear pillars, 
and roof side rails, may be hot for 
several minutes. The airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The brakes and st op lights will be 
controlled automatically. ( P.251)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.399)
●The emergency flashers will be 
turned on automatically. ( P.472)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be 
stopped. ( P.480)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if 
any of the following situations 
occur, the system is designed to 
send an emergency call to the 
response center, notifying them of 
the vehicle’s location (without 
needing to push the “SOS” button) 
and an agent will a ttempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain 
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants  are unable to communicate, the 
agent automatically treats the call 
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency 
services. (
P. 6 1 )
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti- vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe  rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy 
in the event of an impact that 
exceeds the set threshold level 
(the level of force corresponding 
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph 
[20 - 30 km/h] fr ontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will 
be considerably higher in the follow-
ing situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object,  such as a parked vehicle or sign 
pole, which can move or deform 
on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an  underride collision,  such as a colli-
sion in which the front of the vehi-
cle “underrides”, or goes under, 
the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, 
it is possible that only the seat belt 
pretensioners will activate.
●The SRS front airbags for the front 
passenger will not activate if there 
is no passenger sitting in the front 
passenger seat. However, the
