Before driving
CAUTION
nWhen installing a child restraint system
Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual
and fix the child restraint system securely in place.
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child may be
seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
lWhen a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s
shoulder. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of an accident or sudden braking.
lEnsure the belt and tab are securely locked and that the seat belt is not
twisted.
lPush and pull the child seat in different directions to be sure it is secure.
l
Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
lIf the driver ’s seat interferes with the
child restraint system and prevents it
from being attached correctly, attach
the child restraint system to the right−
hand rear seat.
lChild restraint system installed on the
third seat should not contact the second
seatbacks.
l
Only put a forward facing or booster
child seat on the front seat when
unavoidable. When installing a forward
facing or booster child restraint on the
front passenger seat, move the seat as
far back as possible even if the AIR
BAG OFF indicator light illuminates.
Failing to do so may result in death or
serious injury if the airbags deploy
(inflate).

138 1−7. Safety information
CAUTION
nDo not use a seat belt extender
If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the
seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a colli−
sion.
nTo correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
l
When using the lower anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects
around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child
seat. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may
cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or
accident.
lWhen using the left side lower anchors
for the child restraint system, do not sit
in the center seat. Seat belt function
may be impaired, such as being posi−
tioned overly high or loose−fitting, which
may result in death or serious injury in
the event of a collision.

When driving
nDriving in the rain
lDrive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged−up, and the road will be slippery.
lDrive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
lRefrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
nBreaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, the following precautions are recommended
to observe:
lFor the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
lFor the first 500 miles (800 km):
Do not tow a trailer.
lFor the first 1000 miles (1600 km):
Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
Do not drive continuously in the low gears.
Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
nDrumindisc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum−in−disc type parking brake system.
This type of brake system needs bedding−down of the brake shoes periodi−
cally or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums are replaced.
Have your Toyota dealer perform the bedding−down.
nOperating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P. 496)

142 2−1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
nWhen starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine run−
ning. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
nWhen driving the vehicle
lDo not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel−
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident
that could result in death or serious injury.
When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi−
culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the
vehicle only slightly, allowing you to depress the brake and accelerator
pedals properly.
Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result−
ing in an accident.
lDo not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. This may
cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
lDo not let the vehicle roll backwards while the shift lever is in a driving
position, or roll forward while the shift lever is in “R”.
Doing so may cause the engine to stall and lead to poor steering perfor−
mance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
l
If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows and
check that the back door is closed.
Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can cause driver drowsiness and
an accident, resulting in death or a serious health hazard. Have the cause
of the problem inspected immediately.
