Exhaust gas precautions
Exhaust gases contain a substance harmful to the human body if
inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or may cause death or a serious health
hazard.
⬛Important points while driving
Keep the back door closed.
If you smell exhaust gas in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open
the windows to allow fresh air in and have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer immediately.
⬛When parking the vehicle
⚫If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated ar ea or a closed area, such as a garage,
stop the engine.
⚫Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust gases do not enter the vehicle interior.
⚫Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is
snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is run-
ning, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.
⬛Exhaust pipes
The exhaust pipes need to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or crack
caused by corrosion, damage to a joint, or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to
have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.

1-2. Safety information for children
When children are in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehicle.
⚫Children should always use a seat belt. When a child who cannot prop-
erly wear the seat belt is in the ve hicle, use a proper child restraint sys-
tem. ( ➞P. 49)
⚫It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid accidental
contact with the device that operates the vehicle.
⚫Use the child-protector lock (➞ P. 135) and window lock switch
( ➞ P. 160) to prevent children from opening doors or accidentally oper-
ating power windows while the vehicle is in motion.
⚫Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch
body parts, such as power wind ows, hood, doors, seats, etc.
WARNING
⚫Never leave children unattended in the ve hicle. High temperatures inside the
vehicle can cause heatstroke and dehydr ation, which can cause death or a seri-
ous health hazard.
Also, children may operate devices inside the vehicle and get caught in the
door window or move a device that oper ates the vehicle, leading to an unfore-
seen accident.
⚫When children are in the vehicle, please refer to P. 49, which provides precau-
tions for ensuring your child’s safety, dire ctions on installing child restraint sys-
tems, and other related information.

Child restraint systems
Before installing a child restraint system in the vehicle, there are pre-
cautions that need to be observed, different types of child restraint
systems, as well as installation methods, etc., written in this manual.
⚫Use a child restraint system when ri ding with a small child that cannot
properly use a seat belt. For the child’s safety, install the child restraint
system to a rear seat.
Be sure to follow the installation method that is in the operation man-
ual enclosed with the restraint system.
⚫The use of a Toyota genuine child restraint system is recommended,
as it is safer to use in this vehicle.
Toyota genuine child restraint syst ems are made specifically for Toy-
ota vehicles. They can be purchased at a Toyota dealer.
Points to remember
⚫Prioritize and observe the warnings, as well as the laws and regulations
for child restraint systems.
⚫Use a child restraint system until the child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
⚫Choose a child restraint system appropriate to the age and size of the
child.
⚫Note that not all child restraint systems can fit in all vehicles. Before
using or purchasing a child restraint system, check the compatibility of
the child restraint system with seat positions. (➞P. 55)

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⬛When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
⚫For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system which
is correctly installed. For installation details, refer to the operation manual
enclosed with the child restraint syst em. General installation instruction is
provided in this manual.
⚫Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the weight and size of the child, installed on the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
⚫Holding a child in your or someone else ’s arms is not a substitute for a child
restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind-
shield or between the holder and the interior of the vehicle.
⬛Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other
passengers may be seriously injured or even caused death in the event of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving, or an accident.
⚫If the vehicle were to receive a strong im pact from an accident, etc., it is pos-
sible that the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the restraint system.
⚫Depending on the child restraint syst em, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint system is suita-
ble for installment in the vehicle. (➞ P. 5 5 )
⚫Be sure to install and observe the us age rules after carefully reading the
child restraint system fixing method in this manual, as well as the operation
manual enclosed with the child restraint system.
⚫Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not
in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger
compartment.
⚫If it is necessary to detach the child re straint system, remove it from the vehi-
cle or store it securely in the luggage compartment.

541-2. Safety information for children
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⚫Only put a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front seat
when unavoidable. When installing
a forward-facing child restraint on
the front passenger seat, move the
seat as far back as possible.
Failing to do so may result in death
or serious injury if the airbags
deploy (inflate).
⚫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 or rear pillars, or
roof side rails from which the SRS
side airbags or SRS curtain shield
airbags deploy even if the child is
seated in the child restraint system.
It is dangerous if the SRS side air-
bags and curtain shield airbags
inflate, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
⚫When a junior seat (booster seat) is installed, always ensure that the shoul-
der belt is positioned across the cent er 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.
⚫Use child restraint system suitable to th e age and size of the child and install
it to the rear seat.
⚫If the driver’s seat interferes with
the child restraint system and pre-
vents it from being attached cor-
rectly, attach the child restraint
system to the right-hand rear seat
(left-hand drive vehicles) or the left-
hand rear seat (right-hand drive
vehicles).
⚫Adjust the front passenger seat so
that it does not interfere with the
child restraint system.

without interfering with it or af fecting seat belt effectiveness.
Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and low on your hips. If it
does not, or if it interferes with the ch ild restraint, move to a different position.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

WARNING
⬛When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
⚫Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may le ad to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfas-
tened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.
⚫Ensure that the belt and plate are secu rely locked and the seat belt is not
twisted.
⚫Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to
