WARNING
■When installing a booster seat 
To  prevent  the  belt  from  going  into ALR  lock  mode,  do  not  fully   extend  the
shoulder  belt. ALR  mode  causes  the  belt  to  tighten  only.  This  c ould  cause
injury or discomfort to the child. ( P. 34)
■ When installing a child restraint system
Follow  the  directions  given  in  the  child  restraint  system  insta llation  manual
and fix the child restraint system securely in place. 
If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place,  the child or other
passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of a sudden
braking or an accident.
● Vehicles  with  bench  type  second  seats:  When  installing  a  child  restraint
system on the second seat, adjust both seat cushions to the same position
and  align  both  seatbacks  at  the  same  angle.  The  seatbacks  must  be
adjusted  to  the  same  angle.  Otherwise,  the  child  restraint  syst em  cannot
be securely restrained and this may cause death or serious injuries in the
event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
● If  the  driver’s  seat  interferes  with  the
child  restraint  system  and  prevents  it
from being attached correctly, attach the
child  restraint  system  to  the  right-hand
rear seat.
● Adjust  the  front  passenger  seat  so  that
it  does  not  interfere  with  the  child
restraint system.
● Only  put  a forward-facing child restraint
system on the front seat when unavoid-
able.  When  installing  a  forward-facing
child  restraint  system  on  the  front  pas-
senger  seat,  move  the  seat  as  far  back
as  possible  even  if  the  “AIR  BAG  OFF”
indicator  light  is  illuminated.  Failure  to
do  so  may  result  in  death  or  serious
injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

WARNING
●When  installing  a  child  restraint  system  on  the  third  center  seat,  adjust
both seatbacks at the same angle. The seatbacks must be adjuste d to the
same  angle.  Otherwise,  the  child  restraint  system  cannot  be  sec urely
restrained and this may cause death or serious injuries in the event of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
■ When installing a child restraint system
● When  a  booster  seat  is  installed,  always  ensure  that  the  should er  belt  is
positioned  across  the  center  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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event
of an accident or a sudden braking.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat  belt is not
twisted.
● Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward
to ensure that it has been securely installed.
● Follow  all  installation  instructions  provided  by  the  child  restraint  system
manufacturer.
● When  securing  some  types  of  child  restraint  systems  in  second  or  third
seats,  it  may  not  be  possible  to  properly  use  the  seat  belts  in  positions
next  to  the  child  restraint  without  interfering  with  it  or  affecting  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  child  restraint,
move to a different position.
If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm the security of the child re straint system.
■ When installing a child restraint system (vehicles with bench type sec-
ond seat)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury to the child  or other pas-
sengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
● When  installing  the  child  restraint  system  onto  the  second  cent er  seat,
secure it so as not interfere with the front console box.
● Do  not  change  the  posture  and  position  of  the  outside  second  seat  once
the child restraint system has been secured to the second cente r seat.

WARNING
■Do not use a seat belt extender
If  a  seat  belt  extender  is  used  when  installing  a  child  restraint  system,  the
seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause
death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
■ To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors
When  using  the  LATCH  anchors,  be  sure  that  there  are  no  foreign  objects
around  the  anchors  and  that  the  seat  belt  is  not  caught  behind  the  child
restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is secur ely attached,
or  it  may  cause  death  or  serious  injury  to  the  child  or  other  p assengers  in
the event of a sudden braking or an accident.

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.

Automatic Collision Notification
In case of either airbag deployme
nt or severe rear-end collision, the
system  is  designed  to  automatically  call  the  response  center.  T he
responding  agent  receives  the  v ehicle’s  location  and  attempts  to
speak with the vehicl e occupants to assess  the level of emergency.
If  the  occupants  are  unable  to  communicate,  the  agent  automati-
cally  treats  the  call  as  an  emergency,  contacts  the  nearest  eme r-
gency services provider to descr ibe the situation, and requests that
assistance be sent to the location.
■Stolen Vehicle Location
If your vehicle is stolen, Safety  Connect can work with local author-
ities to assist them in locating  and recovering the vehicle. Af ter filing

■Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-po wer
radio transmitter and receiver. I t receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In  August  1996,  the  Federal  Communications  Commission  (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wi re-
less  phones. Those  guidelines  are   consistent  with  the  safety  stan-
dards  previously  set  by  the  following  U.S.  and  international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Stand ards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP  (National  Council  on  Radi ation  Protection  and  Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP  (International  Commission  on  Non-Ionizing  Radiation
Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scienti fic literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers,  and  physicians  from  unive rsities,  and  government  health
agencies and industries reviewed  the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines i n
addition to those standards.
