Approximately  five  hours  after  the  engine  is  turned  off,  you  ma y  hear  sound
coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the  sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and it does not indicate a malfunctio n.
A  wide  variety  of  non-genuine  spare  parts  and  accessories  for  T oyota  vehi-
cles are currently available in the market. You should know tha t Toyota does
not  warrant  these  products  and  is  not  responsible  for  their  per formance,
repair,  or  replacement,  or  for  any  damage  they  may  cause  to,  or  adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota pro ducts. Modi-
fication with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its perf ormance, safety

certain data, such as:
• Engine speed
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Shift position
The  recorded  data  varies  according  to  the  vehicle  grade  level  and  options
with  which  it  is  equipped.  These  computers  do  not  record  conver sations  or
sounds, and only record images outside of the vehicle in certai n situations.

Your  vehicle  may  transmit  the  data  recorded  in  these  computers  to  Toyota
without notification to you.
●Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose  malfunc-
tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.
Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party exc ept:
• 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 l aw or a govern-
ment agency

WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure  to  do  so  may  cause  the  driver’s  floor  mat  to  slip,  possibly  interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an acc ident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■ When installing the driver’s floor mat 
● Do  not  use  floor  mats  designed  for  other  models  or  different  model  year
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.
● Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
● Always install the floor  mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips)  pro-
vided.
● Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
● Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
■ Before driving
● Check  that  the  floor  mat  is  securely
fixed  in  the  correct  place  with  all  the
provided  retaining  hooks  (clips).  Be
especially  careful  to  perform  this  check
after cleaning the floor.
● With  the  engine  stopped  and  the  shift
lever  in  P,  fully  depress  each  pedal  to
the  floor  to  make  sure  it  does  not  inter-
fere with the floor mat.

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful  substance  to  the  human  body  is  included  in  exhaust
gases 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 lead to death  or a serious
health hazard.
■ Important points while driving
● Keep the back door closed.
● If  you  smell  exhaust  gases  in  the  vehicle  even  when  the  back  do or  is
closed,  open  the  windows  and  have  the  vehicle  inspected  at  your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
■ When parking
● If  the  vehicle  is  in  a  poorly  ventilated  area  or  a  closed  area,  such  as  a
garage, stop the engine.
● Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a long time. 
If  such  a  situation  cannot  be  avoided,  park  the  vehicle  in  an  open  space
and ensure that exhaust fumes 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
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.
■ Exhaust pipe
The  exhaust  system  needs  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 and repaired by your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow  the  interior  of  the  vehicle  to  warm  up  before  using  the  liquid  crystal
information  display. At  extremely  low  temperatures,  the  information  display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed. 
For  example,  there  is  a  lag  between  the  driver’s  shifting  and  the  new  gear
number  appearing  on  the  display. This  lag  could  cause  the  drive r  to  down-
shift  again,  causing  rapid  and  excessive  engine  braking  and  pos sibly  an
accident resulting in personal death or injury.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and its components
● Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red  zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
● The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature  gauge is
in  the  red  zone  (H).  In  this  case,  immediately  stop  the  vehicle   in  a  safe
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 484)
■ Voltmeter
When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower while the engine
is running, there may be a battery or charging system malfunction. Have the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
■ Engine oil pressure gauge
When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the engine is
running, stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and check the amount
of engine oil. ( P. 395)
When  the  oil  pressure  drops  even  though  the  engine  oil  amount  has  not
decreased,  or  if  the  oil  pressure  does  not  increase  when  engine   oil  is
added, contact your Toyota dealer, as there may be a problem wi th the lubri-
cation system.
