WARNING
■General precautions while 
driving
Driving under the influence: Never 
drive your vehicle when under the 
influence of alcohol or drugs that 
have impaired your ability to oper-
ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-
tain drugs delay reaction time, 
impair judgment and reduce coor-
dination, which could lead to an 
accident that could result in death 
or serious injury.
Defensive drivin g: Always drive 
defensively. Anticipate mistakes 
that other drivers or pedestrians 
might make and be ready to avoid 
accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give 
your full attention to driving. Any-
thing that distracts the driver, 
such as adjusting controls, talking 
on a cellular phone or reading can 
result in a collision with resulting 
death or serious injury to you, 
your occupant s or others.
■General precaution regarding 
children’s safety
Never leave children unattended 
in the vehicle,  and never allow 
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the 
vehicle or shift the vehicle into 
neutral. There is  also a danger 
that children may injure them-
selves by playing with the side 
windows, the moon roof or the 
panoramic moon roof, or other 
features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely 
cold temperatures inside the vehi-
cle can be fatal to children.

For safety and security
WARNING
●Vehicles without smart key sys-
tem: Do not attach any heavy, 
sharp or hard objects such as 
keys and accessories to the 
key. The objects may restrict 
the SRS knee airbag inflation or 
be thrust into the driver’s seat 
area by the force of the deploy-
ing airbag, thus causing a dan-
ger.
●Do not hang coat hangers or 
other hard objects on the coat 
hooks. All of these items could 
become projectiles and may 
cause death or serious injury, 
should the SRS curtain shield 
airbags deploy.
●If a vinyl cover is put on the area 
where the SRS knee airbag will 
deploy, be sure to remove it.
●Do not use seat accessories 
which cover the parts where the 
SRS side airbags and SRS seat 
cushion airbag inflate as they 
may interfere with inflation of 
the SRS airbags. Such acces-
sories may prevent the SRS 
side airbags and SRS seat 
cushion airbag from activating 
correctly, disable the system or 
cause the SRS side airbags and 
SRS seat cushion airbag to 
inflate accidentally, resulting in 
death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant 
levels of force to the area of the 
SRS airbag components or the 
front doors.
Doing so can cause the SRS 
airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the compo-
nent parts 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 the areas where the SRS air-
bags are stored, such as the 
steering wheel pad and front 
and rear pillar garnishes, are 
damaged or cracked, have 
them 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 may not 
deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.

For safety and security
1-2.Child safety
Riding with children
Observe the following pre-
cautions when children are 
in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system 
appropriate for the child, 
until the child becomes 
large enough to properly 
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to 
avoid accidental contact 
with the shift lever, wiper 
switch, etc.
 Use the rear door child-pro-
tector lock or the window 
lock switch to avoid children 
opening the door while driv-
ing or operating the power 
window accidentally. 
( P.112, 157)
 Do not let small children 
operate equipment which 
may catch or pinch body 
parts, such as the power 
window, hood, back door, 
seats, etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
Never leave children unattended 
in the vehicle, and never allow 
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the 
vehicle or shift the vehicle into 
neutral. There is also a danger 
that children ma y injure them-
selves by playing with the side 
windows, the moon roof (if 
equipped), the panoramic moon 
roof (if equipped) or other features 
of the vehicle. In addition, heat 
build-up or extremely cold tem-
peratures inside the vehicle can 
be fatal to children.
