1-2. Child safety
dance to the directions enclosed
with the child restraint system.
4 If your child restraint system is
not equipped with a lock-off (a
seat belt locking feature),
secure the child restraint system
using a locking clip.
5 After installing the child restraint
system, rock it back and forth to
ensure that it is installed
securely. ( →P. 5 8 )
■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.
■When installing a child restraint system
You may need a locking clip to install the
child restraint system. Follow the instructions provided by the manufac-turer of the system. If your child restraint
system does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the following item from any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer: Locking clip for child restraint system
(Part No. 73119-22010)
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint
system
Observe the following precautions. 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 back-
ward to ensure that it has been securely installed.
●After securing a child restraint sys-tem, never adjust the seat.

control.
■Using automatic mode in cold
weather
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this case, remove any ice and snow from the door mirror,
then either operate the mirror using manual mode or move the mirror by hand.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■Enabling/disabling the pre-col-
lision system
The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on ( →P.361)
of the multi-information display.
The system is automatically enabled

ON.
If the system is disabled, the PCS
warning light will turn on and a
message will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
WARNING
• In some situations, while the emer- gency steering assist is operating,
operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly, the steering
wheel is operated sharply or the brake pedal is being depressed and the system determines that the
driver is taking evasive action.
• When the emergency steering
assist is operating, if the steering wheel is held firmly or is operated in the opposite direction to that which
the system is generating torque, the function may be canceled.
■When to disable the pre-colli-sion system
In the following situations, disable the
system, as it may not operate prop- erly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●When the vehicle is being towed
●When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
●When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of transportation
●When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the
tires are allowed to rotate freely
●When inspecting the vehicle using
a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or speedometer tes-ter, or when using an on vehicle
wheel balancer
●When a strong impact is applied to
the front bumper or front grille, due to an accident or other reasons
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or
is malfunctioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly inflated

Driving
WARNING
●Assisting the driver to judge proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control
determines whether the following dis-
tance between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead is within a set range. It is not
capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary for the driver to remain vig-
ilant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger in any
given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the
vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control
does not include functions which will
prevent or avoid collisions with vehi-
cles ahead of your vehicle. Therefore,
if there is ever any possibility of dan-
ger, the driver must take immediate
and direct control of the vehicle and
act appropriately in order to ensure
the safety of all involved.
■Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control
Do not use dynamic radar cruise con-
trol in any of the following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an
accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up and down gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and high-ways
●When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sensors from detecting correctly
(fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc., on the front surface of the radar or front camera
●In traffic conditions that require fre-quent repeated acceleration and
deceleration
●During emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often
