401-1. For safe use
WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result
in death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers
must wear their seat belts cor-
rectly.
The SRS airbags are supple-
mental devices to be used with
the seat belts.
●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 provides you with a clear
margin of safety. This distance is
measured from the center of the
steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If your current driving posi-
tion places you less than 10 in.
(250 mm) away from the driver
airbag, you can change your driv-
ing position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as possible while still being
able to reach the pedals com-
fortably.
• Slightly recline the seatback. 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
seatback somewhat. If reclining
the seatback makes it hard to
see the road, raise yourself by
using a firm, non-slippery cush-
ion, or raise the seat if your
vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjust- able, tilt it downward. This
points the airbag toward your
chest instead of your head and
neck. The seat should be
adjusted as recommended by
the NHTSA, while still being
able to control the vehicle with
the pedals and steering wheel,
and maintaining your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●If a seat belt extender has been
connected to the passenger’s
seat belt buckle but the latch
plate of the passenger’s seat
belt has not been fastened to
the seat belt extender, the SRS
airbag system will judge that the
occupant is wearing the seat
belt even though the seat belt
has not been fastened. In this
case, the SRS front airbags for
the passenger may not deploy
correctly in a collision, resulting
in death or serious injury. Be
sure to wear the seat belt cor-
rectly when using a seat belt
extender.

421-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not attach anything to areas
such as the doors, windshield,
side windows, front or rear pil-
lars, roof side rails and assist
grips. (With the exception of the
speed limit label P.577)
●Do not use seat accessories
which cover the parts from
which the SRS airbags deploy,
as they may inte rfere with infla-
tion of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the
SRS airbags from deploying
correctly, may disable the sys-
tem or cause the SRS airbags
to inflate unintentionally, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
force to the SRS airbag system
components, front doors or their
surrounding area.
Doing so may cause the SRS
airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any components
of the SRS airbags immediately
after the SRS airbags have
deployed (inflated) as they may
be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult
after the SRS airbags have
deployed, open a door or win-
dow to allow fresh air in, or
leave the vehicle if it is safe to
do so. Wash off any residue as
soon as possible to prevent skin
irritation.
●If a part where an SRS airbag is
stored is damaged or cracked,
have it replaced by your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a
result, the SRS front airbags for
the front passenger’s seat may
not deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.
■Modification and disposal of
SRS airbag system compo-
nents
Do not dispose of your vehicle or
perform any of the following modi-
fications without consulting your
Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags
may malfunction or deploy unin-
tentionally, possibly leading to
death or serious injury.
●Removal, installation, disas-
sembly or repair of the SRS air-
bags
●Repair, removal or modification
of the following parts or their
surrounding
• Steering wheel
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
• Seats
• Seat upholstery
• Front pillars
• Side pillars
• Rear pillars
• Roof side rails
• Front door panels

WARNING
■Cautions during setting up
the display
As the hybrid system needs to be
operating during setting up the
display, ensure that the vehicle is
parked in a place with adequate
ventilation. In a closed area such
as a garage, exhaust gases
including harmful carbon monox-
ide (CO) may collect and enter
the vehicle. This may lead to
death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■During setting up the display
To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge, ensure that the hybrid
system is operating while setting
up the display features.

2064-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
●When the electronic key is placed
near a battery charger or elec-
tronic devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a
pay parking spot where radio
waves are emitted.
If the doors cannot be
locked/unlocked using the smart key
system, lock/unlock the doors by
performing any of the following:
●Bring the electronic key close to
either front door handle and oper-
ate the entry function.
●Operate the wireless remote con-
trol.
If the doors cannot be
locked/unlocked using the above
methods, use the mechanical key.
(  P.587)
If the hybrid system cannot be
started using the smart key system,
refer to P.588.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high
place when the doors are locked
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage compartment
or floor, or in the door pockets or
glove box when the hybrid system
is started or power switch modes
are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on
top of the instrument panel or near
the door pockets when exiting the
vehicle. Depending on the radio
wave reception co nditions, it may
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the
doors detecting the electronic key
can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the hybrid system if the
electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large
amount of water splashes on the
door handle, such as in the rain or
in a car wash when the electronic
key is within the effective range.
(The doors will automatically be
locked after approximately 60 sec-
onds if the doors are not opened
and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is
used to lock the doors when the
electronic key is near the vehicle,
there is a possibilit
y that the door
may not be unlocked by the entry
function. (Use the wireless remote
control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor
while wearing gloves may delay or
prevent lock operation. Remove
the gloves and touch the lock sen-
sor again.
●When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up
to two consecutive times. After
this, no recognition signals will be
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet
while the electronic key is within
the effective range, the door may
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that
case, follow the following correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electron ic key in a loca-
tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure
that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery- saving mode to disable the smart
key system. ( P.205)
●If the electronic key is inside the
