■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat
belts.

421-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
●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.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.)
of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm
(10 in.) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured
from the center of the steering wheel
to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can
change your driving position in sev-
eral ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as
you can while still reaching the ped-
als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, sim- ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of
your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable,
tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended above, while still main-
taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable
force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front pas- senger is very close to the airbag.
The front passenger seat should be
as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the
front passenger sits upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too
small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly
recommends that all infants and
children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer
for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (P. 4 8 )
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag
unit or sit on the knees of a front
passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-
pants to hold items on their knees.

●Do not lean against the door, the
roof side rail or the front, side and
rear pillars.
●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the
passenger seat toward the door or
put their head or hands outside the vehicle.
●Do not attach anything to or lean anything against areas such as the
dashboard, steering wheel pad and
lower portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projec-
tiles when the SRS driver, front pas- senger and knee airbags deploy.
●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield, side
windows, front or rear pillar, roof
side rail and assist grip. (Except for the speed limit label P.525)
●Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Do not attach any
heavy, sharp or hard objects such
as keys and accessories to the key. The objects may restrict the SRS
knee airbag inflation or be thrust
into the driver’s seat area by the force of the deploying airbag, thus
causing a danger.
●Do not hang coat hangers or other
hard objects on the coat hooks. All
of these items could become pro- jectiles and may cause death or
serious injury, should the SRS cur-
tain shield airbags deploy.
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area
where the SRS driver’s knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it.

441-1. For safe use
WA R N I N G
●Do not use seat accessories which
cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags.
Such accessories may prevent the
side airbags from activating cor- rectly, disable the system or cause
the side airbags to inflate acciden-
tally, resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag components or the
front doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS
airbags have deployed (inflated) as
they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after
the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow
fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it
is safe to do so. Wash off any resi- due as soon as possible to prevent
skin irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS airbags
are stored, such as the steering
wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
■Modification and disposal of SRS
airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per- form any of the following modifica-
tions without consulting your Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The SRS
airbags may malfunction or deploy
(inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
●Installation, remo val, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats
or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars, roof side rails, front
door panels, front door trims or front
door speakers
●Modifications to the front door panel
(such as making a hole in it)
●Repairs or modifications of the front
fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant compartment
●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow
plows or winches
●Modifications to the vehicle’s sus-
pension system
●Installation of electronic devices
such as mobile two-way radios
(RF-transmitter) and CD players

●Do not attach adhesive discs to the
windshield or windows. Do not
place containers such as air fresh- eners on the instrument panel or
dashboard. Adhesive discs or con-
tainers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
●Do not leave a door or window
open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized film such as a sil-
ver-colored one. Reflected sunlight
may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
●Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P (vehicles
with a Multidrive), stop the engine
and lock the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift lever in P but the parking brake is
not set, the vehicl e may start to
move, possibly leading to an acci- dent.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or
immediately after turning the engine
off. Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise,
if you accidentally move the shift lever
or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to
engine overheating. Additionally, if the
vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and
enter the vehicle, leading to death or
a serious health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive
more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may
cause one side of the vehicle to
brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may
not securely hold the vehicle.
●If the brake booster device does not
operate, do not follow other vehi-
cles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible,
but the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual.
Also, the braking distance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses
up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 indi-vidual hydraulic systems; if one of
the systems fails, the other will still
operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more
firmly than usual and the braking
distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessively
when a driven wheel is up in the air,
or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage the driveline
components or propel the vehicle for-
ward or backward, causing an acci-
dent.

■When encountering flooded
roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so
may cause the following serious dam-
age to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by water
immersion
In the event that you drive on a
flooded road and the vehicle becomes flooded or stuck in mud or
sand, be sure to have any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer check
the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in the quantity and quality of the engine oil, transaxle fluid,
clutch fluid, differential oil, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bearings
and suspension joints (where possi-
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the ped- als from being depressed properly,
may block the driver’s vision, or may
result in items hitting the driver or passengers, possibly causing an acci-
dent.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the lug-
gage compartment whenever pos-
sible.
●Do not stack cargo and luggage in
the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks.
●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed
directly behind the front seats.
