For safety and security
Adjust the angle of the seatback
so that you are sitting straight up
and so that you do not have to
lean forward to steer. ( P.270)
Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so
that your arms bend slightly at
the elbow when gripping the
steering wheel. ( P.270)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head
restraint closest to the top of
your ears. ( P.276)
Wear the seat belt correctly.
( P.36)
WARNING
●With the hybrid system stopped and the shift lever in P, fully depress
each pedal to the floor to make sure it does not interfere with the floor mat.

■PCS-linked seat belt pretensioner
control
If the PCS (Pre-Collision System) deter- mines that the possibility of a collision
with a vehicle is high, the seat belt pre- tensioners will be prepared to operate.
WARNING
■Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the seat belt cannot be
used again and must be replaced at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-
toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extremely high speed
deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side
rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped and
fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. ( P.98)
●All of the doors will be unlocked. ( P.206)
●Vehicles with Secondary Collision Brake: The brakes and stop lights will be controlled automatically. ( P.439)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.466)
●The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( P.560)
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in
the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-
mately 20-30 km/h [12-18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact • If the vehicle is involved in an under-
ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle under-rides, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt preten- sioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-cle colliding with the vehicle cabin
from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 -30 km/h [12 -18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.
■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a seri-ous impact occurs to the underside of
your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface
●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
●Landing hard or falling

441-1. For safe use
WARNING
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the air-bag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This
distance is measured from the center
of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10
in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as
you can while still reaching the ped- als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec- ommended above, while still main-
taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front pas- senger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be
as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying air- bag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and
children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer
for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( P.50)
●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard.
●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front
passenger.
●Do not allow the front seat occu-
pants to hold items on their knees.

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases contain harmful car-
bon monoxide (CO), which is color- less 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 door is closed, open the side windows and have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the hybrid system.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system operating 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 hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If
snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the hybrid system is operating, exhaust gases may col-
lect and enter the vehicle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole
or crack caused by corrosion, dam- age to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle
inspected and repaired by any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
