Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injec tion system
● Cruise control system

19
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. 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 systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt preten sioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your To y o t a
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/ perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These
components may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wir eless
remote control batteries.
WARNING
■ General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when unde r the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to ope rate your vehi-
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judg ment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistake s that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid acciden ts.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cel lular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serio us 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 may injure themselves by p laying with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on imp act. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
■ Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and the n
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint syst em (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull th e belt out once
more. ( P. 141)
■ Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult
size.
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly w ear the vehicle's seat belt.
(  P. 137)
● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicl e's seat
belt, follow the instructions on P. 60 regarding seat belt usag e.
■ Seat belt pretensioners
●Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in a rear i mpact or
minor frontal or side impact.
● The following four components operate simultaneously when the v ehicle
is involved in a rollover accident.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS curtain shield airbag for driver’s seat side
• SRS curtain shield airbag for front passenger’s seat side

●The following four components operate simultaneously when the v ehicle
is subjected to a severe frontal collision.
• Seat belt pretensioner for driver
• Seat belt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS front airbag for driver
• SRS front airbag for front passenger*
*: This does not operate while the occupant classification syste m deter-
mines to deactivate the airbag operation. For details, refer to “Front pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbag” ( P. 97)
● The following two components operate simultaneously when the ve hicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the driver’s seat side of the vehicle.

● The following two components operate simultaneously when the ve hicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the front passenger’s seat side of the
vehicle.

● Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis . In the
event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and f ront passen-
ger’s seat belt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by T oyota
dealer. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies for the f ront seat-
ing positions, use only genuine Toyota parts equipped with a fo rce limiter.
● If either front seat belt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a
malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
● If the front seat belt retractor assembly or surrounding area h as been
damaged, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
● When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it
has seat belt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the conten ts of this
section.
■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensi oner will activate
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli-
sions.
