For your infor mation
Please note that this manual applies to all models and all equipment, includ-
ing options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle.
Also, for the models that have a model code last letter of 3*, specification
information that changes due to mounting and remodeling is not written in this
manual.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of equipment.
For Eurasian Economic Union: The information on the procedure for the safe
use of the vehicle and its systems, presented on the manufacturer’s labels on
the body in English, is intended only for service workers.
*: The model code is indicated on the manufacturer’ plate or label. ( P. 624)
Both genuine Toyota and a wide variety of other spare parts and accessories
for Toyota vehicles are currently avai lable on the market. Should it be deter-
mined that any of the genuine Toyota parts or accessories supplied with the
vehicle need to be replaced, Toyota recommends that genuine Toyota parts
or accessories, be used to replace them. Other parts or accessories of
matching quality can also be used. Toyota cannot accept any liability or guar-
antee spare parts and accessories which are not genuine Toyota products,
nor for replacement or installation involving such parts. In addition, damage
or performance problems resulting from the use of non-genuine Toyota spare
parts or accessories may not be covered under warranty.
Also, remodeling like this will have an effect on advanced safety equipment
such as Toyota Safety Sense and there is a danger that it will not work prop-
erly or the danger that it may work in situations where it should not be work-
ing.
