COROLLA H/B_U• Disclose the data to a third party 
for research purposes 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.
Special handling may apply, See 
www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components 
that may contain perchlorate. 
These components may include 
the airbags, seat belt preten-
sioners, wireless remote control 
batteries, and the batteries in 
the tire pressure warning valve 
and transmitters.

WARNING
■General precautions while 
driving
Driving under the influence: Never 
drive your vehicle when under the 
influence of alcohol or drugs that 
have impaired your  ability to oper-
ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-
tain drugs delay reaction time, 
impair judgment and reduce coor-
dination, 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 
accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give 
your full attention to driving. Any-
thing 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 
vehicle or shift the vehicle into 
neutral. There is also a danger 
that children ma y injure them-
selves by playing with the win-
dows, or other features of the 
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up 
or extremely cold temperatures 
inside the vehicle can be fatal to 
children.
