Vehicle finder function
■ Security feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 60 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.
■ Conditions affecting operation
The wireless remote control function may not operate normally in the follow-
ing situations:
●When the wireless key battery is depleted
● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise
● When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone or other wireless commu-
nication devices
● When the wireless key is in contact with, or is covered by a metallic
object
● When other wireless key (that emit radio waves) is being used nearby
● If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to
the rear window
When the function is set, a buzzer
(sounds once) and the emergency flash-
ers (flash 3 times) are used to inform the
driver of the vehicle’s location.
Press 3 times within 5 seconds
while within a circumference of approxi-
mately 30 ft. (10 m) from of the vehicle.
However, if the interval between the 3

Before driving
Toyota advanced frontal airbag system
Your vehicle is equipped with a To yota advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem that complies with the new advanced frontal airbag requirements
in the amended Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
208.
The Toyota advanced frontal airbag system automatically determines
the deployment force of the driver’s SRS frontal airbag at the time of
deployment as well as whether or not to activate the front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if acti vated, the deployment force of the
SRS frontal airbag at the time of deployment.
Your vehicle has warning labels on the driver’s and front passenger’s
sun visors beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH ADVANCED AIR
BAGS” and a tag attached to the gl ove box lid beginning with the
phrase “Even with Advanced Air Bags”. Make sure that you carefully
read the instructions on the warning labels and tag.
Always wear your seat belt. The Toyota advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem is a supplemental restraint system and must be used in combina-
tion with a seat belt. All occupant s should wear a seat belt or be
seated in an appropriate child restraint system.
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag is st owed in the center portion of the
steering wheel. The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed
near the top of the dashboard under an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision, the following components
deploy.
● SRS frontal airbag for driver
● SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
These components supplement the s eat belts by reducing the impact
to the occupant’s head and chest.

98 1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●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 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 10 in.
(250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in several
ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, simply 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 air- bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while
still maintaining 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 serious injury especially if the front passenger is v\
ery
close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air-
bag 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 sys-
tem. 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. 112)

100 1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, disable
the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in
death or serious injury.
● Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air-
bag components ( →P. 71).
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
●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 any-
thing against areas such as the dash-
board or steering wheel pad.
These items can become projectiles
when SRS driver and front passenger
airbags deploy.
● Do not attach anything to areas such as
a door, windshield glass, side door
glass, rear quarter glass, front and rear
pillar or roof side rail.

When driving
Turning on the high beam headlights
With the headlights on, push
the lever forward to turn on the
high beams.
Pull the lever back to the center
position to turn the high beams
off.
Pull the lever toward you and
release it to flash the high
beams once.
You can flash the high beams
with the headlights on or off.
■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles with an automatic transmission: To make your vehicle more visi-
ble to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn
on automatically whenever the engine is started, the shift lever is shifted
out of P and the parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or
in the “AUTO” position. (Illuminate brighter than the parking lights.) Day-
time running lights are not designed for use at night.
● Vehicles with a manual transmission: To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn on
automatically whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is
released with the headlight switch off or in the “AUTO” position. (Illumi-
nate brighter than the parking lights.) Daytime running lights are not
designed for use at night.
● When the turn signal indicators are flashing, the daytime running light on
the side that the turn signals are flashing will turn off.
● When the emergency flashers are flashing, both daytime running lights
will turn off.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
