Please note that this manual
applies to all models and explains
all equipment, including options.
Therefore, you may find some
explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this
manual are current at the time of
printing. However, because of the
Toyota policy of continual product
improvement, we reserve the right
to make changes at any time with-
out notice.
Depending on specifications, the
vehicle shown in the illustrations
may differ from your vehicle in
terms of equipment.
Both genuine Toyota and a wide
variety of other spare parts and
accessories for Toyota vehicles are
currently available in the market.
Should it be determined that any of
the genuine Toyota parts or acces-
sories supplied with the vehicle
need to be replaced, Toyota recom-
mends that genuine Toyota parts or
accessories, be used to replace
them. Other parts or accessories of
matching quality can also be used.
Toyota cannot accept any liability or guarantee spare parts and
accessories which are not genuine
Toyota products, nor for replace-
ment or installation involving such
parts. In addition, damage or per-
formance problems resulting from
the use of non-genuine Toyota
spare parts or accessories may not
be covered under warranty.
Also, remodeling like this will have
an effect on advanced safety equip-
ment such as Toyota Safety Sense
and there is a danger that it will not
work properly or the danger that it
may work in situations where it
should not be working.
The installation of an RF-transmit-
ter 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
Cruise control system
Anti-lock brake system
SRS airbag system
Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for precautionary mea-
sures or special instructions regard-

ing installation of an RF-transmitter
system.
Further information regarding fre-
quency bands, power levels,
antenna positions and installation
provisions for the installation of RF-
transmitters, is available on request
at any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
High voltage parts and cables on
the Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic waves
as the conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic
appliances despite of their electro-
magnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of the radio frequency
transmitter (RF-transmitter).
The vehicle is equipped with
sophisticated computers that will
record certain data, such as:
• Engine speed/Electric motor
speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving
assist systems
• Images from the cameras
Your vehicle is equipped with cameras.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer for the location of recording cameras.
The recorded data varies according
to the vehicle grade level, options
and destinations with which it is
equipped.
These computers do not record
conversations or sounds, and only
record images outside of the vehi-
cle in certain situations.
Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in
this computer to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and develop-
ment, and improve quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded
data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner
or with the consent of the lessee if
the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by
the police, a court of law or a govern-
ment agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the
data is not tied to a specific vehicle or
vehicle owner
The SRS airbag and seat belt pre-
tensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemicals. If the
vehicle is scrapped with the airbags
and seat belt pretensioners left as
they are, this may cause an acci-
dent such as fire. Be sure to have
the systems of the SRS airbag and
seat belt pretensioner removed and
disposed of by a qualified service
shop or any authorized Toyota

Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. ( P.36)
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
( P.50)
Make sure that you can see back-
ward clearly by adjusting the inside

tal Rear-view Mirror (if equipped)
and outside rear view mirrors prop-

WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
ODo not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
ODo not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seat-back. A cushion may prevent cor-
rect posture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
ODo 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.
OAlways observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
OWhen driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start
to feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

Make sure that all occupants
are wearing their seat belts
before driving the vehicle.
WARNING
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.
QWearing a seat belt
OEnsure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
OAlways wear a seat belt properly.
OEach seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at
once, including children.
OToyota recommends that children
be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
OTo achieve a proper seating posi-tion, do not recline the seat more
than necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back
in the seats.
ODo not wear the shoulder belt under
your arm.
OAlways wear your seat belt low and
snug across your hips.
QPregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. ( P.36)
Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possi-ble over the hips in the same manner
as other occupants, extending the shoulder belt completely over the shoulder and avoiding belt contact
with the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly,
not only the pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer death or serious injury as a result of sudden
braking or a collision.
QPeople suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the
seat belt in the proper way. ( P.36)
QWhen children are in the vehicle

it comes fully over the shoulder,
but does not come into contact
with the neck or slide off the
shoulder.

possible over the hips.
 Adjust the position of the seat-
back.
Sit up straight and well back in
the seat.

loose parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Dam-aged seat belts cannot protect an
occupant from death or serious injury.

correctly, immediately contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
