WARNING
■Child restraint precautions
●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/ her body
against the door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillar s or roof side
rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield air bags deploy
even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It i s dangerous if
the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact
could cause death or serious injury to the child.
● Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by
the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If
it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injur y to the child
in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
■ When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat b elt 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 sh ould be used
to cut the belt.
■ When the child restrai nt system is not in use
● Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat ev en if it is
not in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passeng er compart-
ment.
● If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the trunk. This will prevent it from injuring
passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or acci dent.

WARNING
■
When using the rear view monitor system
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that cou ld result in
death or serious injuries.
● The rear view monitor system is a supplement device intended to assist
back up. Never depend solely on the rear view monitor system wh en
reversing. Always check visually and with the mirrors to confir m your
intended path is clear. Use caution just as you would when back ing up any
vehicle.
● The camera has a special lens. Depicted distances between objec ts and
flat surfaces differ from actual distances.
● Always check the vehicle surrounding area, because the guide li nes are
ancillary lines.
● The guide lines are ancillary lines and do not change even if t he steering
wheel is turned.
● Do not use the system if the trunk is open.
■ Conditions which may affect t he rear view monitor system
● If the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting
angle may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
● When the outside temperature is low, the displayed image may be come
faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or not entirely visible.
● Rapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the
vehicle in cold weather, may cause the system to function abnor mally.
● If the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with
water and wipe with a soft cloth. If the camera lens is extreme ly dirty, wash
with a mild cleanser and rinse.
● If the tire size is changed, the area displayed on the screen may change.
● Do not do the following. Doing so may scratch the lens, which may have a
negative effect on the image displayed on the screen.
• Rub the camera lens hard
• Use a hard brush to scrub the camera lens
• Scrub the lens with abrasive cleaners
