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.
Also, remodeling like this will 
have an effect on advanced 
safety equipment such as Toy-
ota Safety Sense 3.0 and there

buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver  was depressing the accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was trav- eling.
These data can help provide a 
better understanding of the cir-
cumstances in which crashes 
and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded 
by your vehicle only if a non-triv-
ial crash situation occurs; no 
data are recorded by the EDR 
under normal driving conditions 
and no personal data (e.g., 
name, gender, age, and crash 
location) are recorded. How-
ever, other parties, such as law 
enforcement, could combine the 
EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data rou-
tinely acquired during a crash 
investigation.
To read data recorded by an 
EDR, special equipment is 
required, and access to the 
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In 
addition to the vehicle manufac-
turer, other parties, such as law 
enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, can read the 
information if they have access 
to the vehicle or the EDR.
 Disclosure of the EDR data
Toyota will not disclose the data 
recorded in an EDR to a third party 
except when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s  owner (or the lessee for a leased 
vehicle) is obtained
• In response to an official request  by the police, a court of law or a 
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Toyota may:
• Use the data for research on  vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party  for research pur poses without 
disclosing information about the 
specific vehicle or vehicle owner
The SRS airbag and seat belt 
pretensioner devices in your 
Toyota contain explosive chemi-
cals. If the vehicle is scrapped 
with the airbags and seat belt 
pretensioners left as they are, 
this may cause an accident such 
as fire. Be sure to have the sys-
tems of the SRS airbag and seat 
belt pretensioner removed and 
disposed of by a qualified ser-
vice shop or by your Toyota 
dealer before you scrap your 
vehicle.

based on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The air-
bag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors, etc., shown in the system 
components diagram above. This in formation 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 of 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 parts 
around the airbags may be hot for 
several minutes. T he airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●All of the doors will be unlocked. 
(  P.105)
●The brakes and st op lights will be 
controlled automatically. ( P.275)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.303)
●The emergency flashers will turn 
on automatically. ( P.382)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be 
stopped. (P.390)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if 
any of the followin g 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 attempt 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. (

• When an SRS airbag has been 
deployed
• When a seat belt pretensioner has  operated
• When the vehicle has been  involved in a severe rear-end colli-
sion
■The SRS airbags deploy in a 
frontal impact when
●The following SRS airbags will 
deploy in the event of an impact 
that exceeds a th reshold level 
(level of force corresponding to an 
approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 
30 km/h] frontal collision with a 
fixed wall that does not move or 
deform):
• SRS front airbags
• SRS knee airbag
●The threshold level at which the 
SRS airbags will deploy will be 
higher than normal in the in the 
following situations:
• When the vehicle  collides with an 
object, such as a parked vehicle 
or sign pole, which moves or 
deforms 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, 
only the following may deploy:
• Seat belt pretensioners
●The SRS airbags for the front pas-
senger’s seat will not deploy if 
there is no passe nger in the front 
passenger seat. However, the

For safety and security
SRS airbags for the front passen-
ger’s seat may deploy, even if the 
seat is unoccupied, if luggage is 
put on the seat.
●In the event of  an especially 
severe frontal collision, the left 
and right SRS curtain shield air-
bags may also deploy.
■The SRS airbags deploy in a 
side impact when
●The following SRS airbags will 
deploy in the event of an impact 
that exceeds the set threshold 
level (level of force corresponding 
to the impact force produced by 
an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 
kg] vehicle collid ing with the pas-
senger compartment at a perpen-
dicular angle at an approximate 
speed of 12 - 18  mph [20 - 30 
km/h]):
• SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
●If the vehicle is involved in a roll-
over, the following SRS airbags 
will deploy:
• Both left and right SRS curtain  shield airbags
■The SRS airbags  deploy in an 
underside impact when
●The following airbags may deploy 
if the underside of  the vehicle col-
lides with a hard object:
• SRS front airbags
• SRS knee airbag
• SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
●The following airbags may deploy 
if the vehicle becomes signifi-
cantly tilted or is strongly impacted 
by skidding into a curb, etc.:
• SRS curtain shield airbags
■The SRS side airbags will not 
deploy when
●The following SRS airbags will not 
normally deploy in side or rear col-
lisions, vehicle rollovers, or low 
speed frontal collisions. However, 
if such a collision causes sufficient 
sudden deceleration, the SRS air-
bags may deploy.
• SRS front airbags
• SRS knee airbag
●The following SRS airbags may 
not deploy if the vehicle is collided 
with at a certain angle or in a side 
collision where an area of the 
vehicle other than the passenger 
compartment is  collided with:
• SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
●The following SRS airbags will not 
normally deploy in  front or rear 
collisions, vehicle rollovers, or low 
speed side collisions:
• SRS side airbags

WARNING
●The SRS driver airbag deploys 
with considerable force, and 
can cause death or serious 
injury, especially  if the driver is 
very close to the airbag. The 
National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) 
advises:
Since the risk zone for the driver’s 
airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 
mm) of inflation, placing yourself 
10 in. (250 mm) from your driver 
airbag provides y ou with a clear 
margin of safety. This distance is 
measured from the center of the 
steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If your current driving posi-
tion places you less than 10 in. 
(250 mm) away from the driver 
airbag, you can change your driv-
ing position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as  far as possible while still being 
able to reach the pedals com-
fortably.
• Slightly recline the seatback.  Although vehicle designs vary, 
many drivers can achieve the 
10 in. (251 mm) distance, even 
with the driver seat all the way 
forward, simply by reclining the 
seatback somewhat. If reclining 
the seatback makes it hard to 
see the road, raise yourself by 
using a firm, non-slippery cush-
ion, or raise the seat if your 
vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjust- able, tilt it downward. This 
points the airbag toward your 
chest instead of your head and 
neck. The seat should be 
adjusted as recommended by 
the NHTSA, while  still being 
able to control the vehicle with 
the pedals and steering wheel, 
and maintaining your view of the 
instrument panel controls.
●If a seat belt extender has been 
connected to a front seat belt 
buckle but the latch plate of the 
seat belt has not been fastened 
to the seat belt extender, the 
SRS airbag system will judge 
that the occupant is wearing the 
seat belt even though the seat 
belt has not been fastened. In 
this case, the SRS front airbags 
may not deploy c orrectly in a 
collision, resulting in death or 
serious injury. Be sure to wear 
the seat belt correctly when 
using a seat belt extender.
●The SRS front passenger air-
bag deploys with considerable 
force, and can cause death or 
serious injury, especially if the 
front passenger is very close to 
the airbag. The front passenger 
seat should be positioned as far 
possible from the airbag with 
the seatback adjusted so that 
the passenger is sat upright.

■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 
(C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect 
complies with the FCC guide-
lines in addition to those stan-
dards.
