work properly or the danger that
it may work in situations where it
should not be working.
Installing electronic devices and
radios increases the risk of
cyber attacks through the
installed parts, which may lead
to unexpected accidents and
leakage of personal informa-
tion. Toyota does not make any
guarantees for problems caused
by installing non-genuine Toyota
products.
The installation of a mobile two-
way radio system in your vehicle
could affect electronic systems
such as:
Hybrid system
 Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel
injection system
 Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
 Anti-lock brake system
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your
Toyota dealer for precautionary
measures or special instructions
regarding installation of a mobile
two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables on the Hybrid Electric Vehicles
emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic
waves as the conventional gas-
oline powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances despite of
their electromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in
the reception of the mobile two-
way radio.
This vehicle is equipped with
sophisticated computers that
record certain data regarding
vehicle controls and operations.
■Data recorded by the com-
puters

*1: The recorded data varies
according to the vehicle grade
level and options with which it is
equipped.
Certain data, such as the follow-
ing, is recorded depending on
the operation timing and status
of each function.
 Basic vehicle behavior related
data (engine speed/electric
motor speed, accelera-
tor/brake pedal operation,
vehicle speed, etc.)
 Operating state of the driving
support systems (recorded
during system operation,

For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seat-
back so that you are sitting
straight up and so that you do
not have to lean forward to
steer. (P.209)
Adjust the seat so that you
can depress the pedals fully
and so that your arms bend
slightly at the elbow when
gripping the steering wheel.
( P.209)
Lock the head restraint in
place with the center of the
head restraint closest to the
top of your ears. ( P.212)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
( P.32)
WARNING
■Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is
securely fixed in the correct
place with all the provided
retaining hooks (c lips). Be espe-
cially careful to perform this
check after cleaning the floor.
●With the hybrid system stopped
and the shift position in P, fully
depress each pedal to the floor
to make sure it does not inter-
fere with the floor mat.

301-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before
driving the vehicle. (P.32)
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child until the
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. (
P.51)
Make sure that you can see
backward clearly by adjusting
the inside rear view mirror (if
equipped), Digital Rear-view
Mirror (if equipped) and outside
rear view mirrors properly.
( P.216, 217, 225)
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between
the driver or passenger and the
seatback. A cushion may pre-
vent correct posture from being
achieved, and reduce the effec-
tiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the
front seats.
Objects placed under the front
seats may become jammed in
the seat tracks and stop the
seat from locking in place. This
may lead to an accident and the
adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed
limit when driving on public
roads.
●When driving over long dis-
tances, take regular breaks
before you start to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy
while driving, do not force your-
self to continue driving and take
a break immediately.
Correct use of the seat
belts
Adjusting the mirrors

321-1. For safe use
Extend the shoulder belt so
that it comes fully over the
shoulder, but does not come
into contact with the neck or
slide off the shoulder. 
Position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips.
 Adjust the position of the
seatback.
Sit up straight and well back
in the seat.
 Do not twist the seat belt.
■Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were
principally designed for persons of
adult size.
●Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until the
child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. ( P.51)
●When the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the vehi-
cle’s seat belt, follow the instruc-
tions regarding seat belt usage.
( P.31)
■Seat belt extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your
Toyota dealer free of charge.
WARNING
●Inspect the seat belt system
periodically. Check for cuts,
fraying, and loose parts. Do not
use a damaged seat belt until it
is replaced. Damaged seat belts
cannot protect an occupant
from death or serious injury.
●Ensure that the belt and plate
are locked and the belt is not
twisted.
If the seat belt does not function
correctly, immediately contact
your Toyota dealer.
●Replace the seat assembly,
including the belts, if your vehi-
cle has been involved in a seri-
ous accident, even if there is no
obvious damage.
●Do not attempt to install,
remove, modify, disassemble or
dispose of the seat belts. Have
any necessary repairs carried
out by your Toyota dealer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to
incorrect operation.
Correct use of the seat
belts
WARNING
■Using a seat belt extender
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
