Essential Safety Equipment
WARNING
■Sit in the center of the seat and wear seat belts properly
Sitting too close to the side air bag modules or placing hands on them, or
sleeping up against the door or hanging out the windows is extremely dan-
gerous. The side and curtain air bags inflate with great force and speed
directly expanding along the door on the side the car is hit. Serious injury
could occur if someone is sitting too close to the door or leaning against a
window, or if rear seat occupants grab the sides of the front seatbacks. Give
the side and curtain air bags room to work by sitting in the center of the seat
while the vehicle is moving with seat belts worn properly.
■ Do not attach objects on or around the area where driver and front pas-
senger air bags deploy
Attaching an object to the driver and front passenger air bag modules or
placing something in front of them is dangerous. In an accident, an object
could interfere with air bag inflation and injure the occupants.
■ Do not attach objects on or around the area where a side air bag
deploys
Attaching objects to the front seat in such a way as to cover the outboard
side of the seat in any way is dangerous. In an accident the object could
interfere with the side air bag, which inflates from the outboard side of the
front seats, impeding the added protection of the side air bag system or
redirecting the air bag in a way that is dangerous. Furthermore, the bag
could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not hang net bags, map pouches or backpacks with side straps on the
front seats. Never use seat covers on the front seats. Always keep the side
air bag modules in your front seats free to deploy in the event of a side colli-
sion.
■ Do not attach objects on or arou nd the area where a curtain air bag
deploys
Attaching objects to the areas where the curtain air bag activates such as
on the windshield glass, side door glass, front and rear window pillars and
along the roof edge and assist grips is dangerous. In an accident the object
could interfere with the curtain air bag, which inflates from the front and rear
window pillars and along the roof edge, impeding the added protection of
the curtain air bag system or redirecting the air bag in a way that is danger-
ous. Furthermore, the bag could be cut open releasing the gas.
Do not place hangers or any other objects on the assist grips. When hang-
ing clothes, hang them on the coat hook directly. Always keep the curtain air
bag modules free to deploy in the event of a side collision or roll-over acci-
dent.

2-8. Driving Tips
2
Before Driving
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire chains, window scraper, flares, a
small shovel, jumper cables, a nd a small bag of sand or salt.
Ask your Toyota dealer to check the following: • Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the radiator. Refer to Engine Coolant on P. 425.
• Inspect the battery and its cables . Cold reduces battery capacity.
• Use an engine oil appropriate for the lowest ambient temperatures that the vehicle will be driven in ( →P. 422).
• Inspect the ignition sy stem for damage and loose connections.
• Use washer fluid made with antifreeze ⎯but do not use engine cool-
ant antifreeze for washer fluid ( →P. 429).
●Do not use the parking brake in freezing weather as it may freeze. Instead,
shift to 1 or R with a manual transaxle and to P with an automatic transaxle.
Block the rear wheels.
● Remove snow before driving. Snow left on the windshield is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
● Do not apply excessive force to a window scraper when removing ice or fro-
zen snow on the mirror glass and windshield.
● Never use warm or hot water for removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass cracking.
● Drive slowly. Braking performance can be adversely affected if snow or ice
adheres to the brake components. If this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes sev-
eral times until the brake performance returns to normal.

3-4. Switches and Controls
Windshield Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wipers.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown, overheating and possible fire by a circuit
breaker. This mechanism will automatically stop operation of the blades, but
only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and park off the right-of-way, and
remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should operate normally. If
they do not resume functioning, consult your Toyota dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.
WARNING
■Use only windshield washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield, affect your visibility, and could result
in an accident.
■ Only use windshield washer fluid mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions
Using windshield washer fluid without anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.

3-10. Active Safety System
Active Safety System∗
◆Pre-Crash Safety Technology
Pre-crash safety technology is designed to assist the driver in
averting collisions or re duce their severity in situations where they
cannot be avoided.
● Collision damage reduction in low vehicle speed range
Forward driving:
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) ( →P. 205)
◆Sensor
● Laser sensor
The laser sensor emits a near-infrared laser beam and receives
the beam reflected off the reflec tive surface of a vehicle or
obstruction in front, and the detected beam is then used for mea-
surement. The laser sensor is used for the Smart City Brake
Support (SCBS) system.
The laser sensor is installed at the top of the windshield near the
rearview mirror.
Refer to Laser Sensor on P. 211.

3-10. Active Safety System
●The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is
deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering
wheel).
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the follow-
ing conditions.
• The engine is running.
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCB S) warning light (amber) does not
illuminate.
• The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.
• The DSC is not malfunctioning.
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector
of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently,
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following
conditions:
• Reflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.
• The vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used
when it’s raining.
• The windshield is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high profile.
• Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.
● Under the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) sys-
tem may not operate normally.
• Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.
• If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
• When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting
exits.
• Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser sensor.
• Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapor rising
from manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
• When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.
• When driving with tires having significantly different wear.
