Essential Safety Equipment
Make sure the ignition is switched off.
Slide the seat as far back as
possible.
Remove the head restraint.
Place the child-restraint system on the seat without putting your
weight on the seat and fasten the seat belt. See the manufacturer’s
instructions on the child-restraint system for belt routing instruc-
tions.
To get the retractor into the automatic locking mode, pull the shoul-
der belt portion of the seat belt until the entire length of the belt is
out of the retractor.
WARNING
■Always remove the head restraint and install child-restraint system
Installing a child-restraint system without removing the head restraint is
dangerous. The child-restraint system cannot be installed correctly which
may result in death or injury to the child in a collision.
■ Always install the head restraint and adjust it to the appropriate posi-
tion after removing the child-restraint system
Driving with the head restraint removed is dangerous as impact to the occu-
pant’s head cannot be prevented during emergency braking or in a collision,
which could result in a serious accident, injury or death.
Refer to Head Restraints on P. 27.

1-4. SRS Air Bags
WARNING
■Do not touch the components of the supplemental restraint system
after the air bags have inflated
Touching the components of the supplemental restraint system after the air
bags have inflated is dangerous. Immediately after inflation, they are very
hot. You could get burned.
■ Never install any front-end equipment to your vehicle
Installation of front-end equipment, such as frontal protection bar (kangaroo
bar, bull bar, push bar, or other similar devices), snowplow, or winches, is
dangerous. The air bag crash sensor system could be affected. This could
cause air bags to inflate unexpectedly, or it could prevent the air bags from
inflating during an accident. Front occupants could be seriously injured.
■ Do not modify the suspension
Modifying the vehicle suspension is dangerous. If the vehicle’s height or the
suspension is modified, the vehicle will be unable to accurately detect a col-
lision or roll-over accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag
deployment and the possibility of serious injuries.
■ To prevent false detection by the air bag sensor system, heed the fol-
lowing
● Do not use tires or wheels other than those specified for your Toyota:
Use of any tire or wheel other than those specified for your Toyota ( →P. 570)
is dangerous. Use of such wheels will prevent the vehicle’s accident detec-
tions system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over accident result-
ing in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the possibility of
serious injuries.
● Do not overload your vehicle:
Overloading your vehicle is dangerous as it could prevent the air bag
crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over acci-
dent resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the pos-
sibility of serious injuries. The gross axle weight rating (GAWR) and the
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your vehicle are on the Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard Label on the driver’s door frame. Do not exceed
these ratings.
● Do not drive the vehicle off-road:
Driving your Toyota off-road is dangerous because the vehicle has not
been designed to do so. Driving the vehicle off-road could prevent the air
bag crash sensor system from accurately detecting a collision or roll-over
accident resulting in incorrect or unexpected air bag deployment and the
possibility of serious injuries.

Trunk Lid
WARNING
■Never allow a person to ride in the trunk
Allowing a person to ride in the trunk is dangerous. The person in the trunk
could be seriously injured or killed during sudden braking or a collision.
■ Do not drive with the trunk lid open
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle is dangerous. An open trunk lid in a
moving vehicle will cause exhaust gas to be drawn into the cabin. This gas
contains CO (carbon monoxide), which is colorless, odorless, and highly
poisonous, and it can cause loss of consciousness and death. Moreover, an
open trunk lid could cause occupants to fall out in an accident.
■ Using the trunk
●Before opening the trunk lid, remove any snow and ice accumulation on it.
Otherwise, the trunk lid could close under the weight of the snow and ice
resulting in injury.
● Be careful when opening/closing the trunk lid during strong winds. If a
strong gust blows against the trunk lid, it could close suddenly resulting in
injury.
● Fully open the trunk lid and make sure that it stays open. If the trunk lid is
only opened partially, it could slam shut by vibration or wind gusts resulting
in injury.
● When loading or unloading luggage in the trunk, turn off the engine. Other-
wise, you could get burned by the heat of the exhaust gas.

Before Driving
Saving Fuel and Protection of the Environment
How you operate your Toyota determines how far it will travel on a
tank of fuel. Use these suggestions to help save fuel and reduce CO2.
●Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine runs smoothly, begin driv-
ing.
● Avoid fast starts.
● Drive at lower speeds.
● Anticipate when to apply the brakes (avoid sudden braking).
● Follow the maintenance schedule and have your Toyota dealer per-
form inspections and servicing.
● Use the air conditioner only when necessary.
● Slow down on rough roads.
● Keep the tires properly inflated.
● Do not carry unnecessary weight.
● Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
● Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
● Keep windows closed at high speeds.
● Slow down when driving in crosswinds and headwinds.
WARNING
■Never stop the engine when going down a hill
Stopping the engine when going down a hill is dangerous. This causes the
loss of power steering and power br ake control, and may cause damage to
the drivetrain. Any loss of steering or braking control could cause an acci-
dent.

Overloading
WARNING
■Be careful not to overload your vehicle
The gross axle weight rating (GAWR) and the gross vehicle weight rat-
ing (GVWR) of the vehicle are on the Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
Label on the driver’s door frame. Exceeding these ratings can cause an
accident or vehicle damage. You can estimate the weight of the load by
weighing the items (or people) before putting them in the vehicle.

3-3. Transaxle
■Passing
For extra power when passing another vehicle or climbing steep
grades, depress the accelerator fully. The transaxle will shift to a
lower gear, depending on vehicle speed.
Some models:
The accelerator pedal may initially feel heavy as it is being depressed,
then feel lighter as it is depressed further. This change in pedal force
aids the engine control system in determining how much the accelerator
pedal has been depressed for performing kickdown, and functions to
control whether or not kickdown should be performed.
■
Climbing steep grades from a stop
To climb a steep grade from a stopped position:
Depress the brake pedal.
Shift to D or M1, depending on the load weight and grade steep-
ness.
Release the brake pedal while gradually accelerating.
■Descending steep grades
When descending a steep grade, shift to lower gears, depending on
load weight and grade steepness. Descend slowly, using the
brakes only occasionally to prevent them from overheating.
Driving Tips
WARNING
■Do not let the vehicle move in a direction opposite to the direction
selected by the selector lever
Do not let the vehicle move backward with the selector lever in a forward
position, or do not let the vehicle move forward with the selector lever in the
reverse position. Otherwise, the engine may stop, causing the loss of the
power brake and power steering functions , and make it difficult to control
the vehicle which could result in an accident.

When Driving
Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed
road. Such variance in distance perspective could lead to an accident.
Note the following conditions that may cause a variance in distance
perspective.
■When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and
load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the
screen appears farther than the actual distance.
• When parking in a space with a divi-sion line on only one side of the park-
ing space, the division line and the
vehicle width guide line may appear
parallel on the monitor, but they may
not actually be parallel on the ground.

5-3. Owner Maintenance
Tires
Inspect all tire pressures monthly (including the spare) when the tires
are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, han-
dling, and minimum tire wear.
Refer to the specification charts
(→P. 5 7 0).
Vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system:
After adjusting the tire pressure, initialization of the tire pressure mon-
itoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on P. 221.
●Always check tire pressure when tires are cold.
●Warm tires normally exceed recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tires to adjust the pressure.
●Underinflation can cause reduced fuel economy, uneven and acceler-
ated tire wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead, which will deform the
wheel and cause separation of tire from rim.
●Overinflation can produce a harsh ride, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards.
For reasons of proper performance, safety, and better fuel econ-
omy, always maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits and weight distribu-
tion.
WARNING
■Using Different Tire Types
Driving your vehicle with different types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking; leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary spare tire, use only the same
type tires (radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four wheels.
■Using Wrong-Sized Tires
Using any other tire size than what is specified for the vehicle ( →P. 570)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect ride, handling, ground clearance,
tire clearance, and speedometer calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tires that are the correct size specified for
the vehicle.

7-7. Tire Information (U.S.A.)
P215/65R15 95H is an example of a tire size and load index rating.
Here is an explanation of the various components of that tire size and
load index rating. Note that the tire size and load index rating may be
different from the example.
●P
Indicates a tire that may be installed on cars, SUVs, minivans and
light trucks as designated by the Tire and Rim Association (T&RA).
● 215
“215” is the nominal width of the tire in millimeters. This three-digit
number gives the width in millimeters of the tire from sidewall edge
to sidewall edge. In general, the larger the number, the wider the
tire.
● 65
“65” is the aspect ratio. This two-digit number indicates the tire’s
ratio of height to width.
● R
“R” is the tire construction symbol. R indicates “Radial ply construc-
tion”.
● 15
“15” is the wheel rim diameter in inches.
● 95
“95” is the Load Index. This two-or three-digit number indicates how
much weight each tire can support.
● H
“H” is the speed rating. The speed rating denotes the maximum
speed for which the use of the tire is rated.
