Publication No. OM35897U Part No. 01999-35897 Printed in Japan 01−0802−00 ( U) 07 12.25 Important information about your Toyota Occupant restraint systems Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to read Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms of helping you understand how you can receive the maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual is the most important Section for you and your family to read. Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concern- ing seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint sys- tems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware of. These systems work together along with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced when it is used properly and together with other systems. No single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or your family with the equal level of restraint which these systems can provide when used together. That is why it is important for you and your family to understand the purpose and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate to each other. The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help reduce the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of a collision. None of these systems, either individ- ually or together, can ensure that there is no injury in the event of collision. However, the more you know about these systems and how to use them properly, the greater your chances become of surviving an accident without death or serious injury. Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of the vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear seat belts properly at all times. Children should always be secured in child restraint systems that are appropriate for their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as their names imply, designed to work with, and be supplemental to, seat belts and are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags can be very effective in reducing the risk of head and chest injuries by preventing contact of the head and chest with interior portions of the vehicle. 07 12.25 In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS air- bags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of death or serious injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an object or some part of his or her body has been placed between the occupant and the airbag at the time of deployment. This is just one example of how the instructions in Section 1−3 of this Owner’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can provide to you and your fami- ly in the event of an accident. Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Section 1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of ownership of this vehicle. Event data recorder Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control cer- tain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Be- sides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a system to record data in a crash or a near car crash event. This is called an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or a near car crash event, this device may record some or all of the following information: D Engine speed D Whether the brake pedal was applied or not D Vehicle speed D To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed D Position of the transmission selector lever D Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat belts or not D Driver’s seat position D Front passenger’s occupant classification ii 07 12.25 D SRS airbag deployment data D SRS airbag system diagnostic data The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound data such as conversation between passengers. Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when: D An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leas- ing company for a leased vehicle) is obtained D Officially requested by the police or other authorities D Used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit D Ordered by the court However, if necessary Toyota will: D Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety performance D Disclose the data to a third party for research pur- the vehicle poses without disclosing details of owner, and only when it is deemed necessary D Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identifi- cation information to a non−Toyota organization for research purposes iii 07 12.25 New vehicle warranty Your new vehicle is covered by the following Toyota limited warranties: D New vehicle warranty D Emission control systems warranty D Others further information, please refer Information Booklet” or For Warranty Supplement”. to the “Owner’s “Owner’s Manual Your responsibility for maintenance It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure that the speci- fied maintenance is performed. Section 6 gives details of these maintenance requirements. Also included in Section 6 is general maintenance. For scheduled maintenance in- formation, please refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. iv Important health and safety information about your Toyota CAUTION D WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its constitu- ents, and a wide variety of automobile compo- nents contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth de- fects and other reproductive harm. In addition, oils, fuels and fluids contained in vehicles as well as waste produced by component wear con- tain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. D Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling. Used engine oil contains chemicals that have caused cancer in laboratory animals. Always protect your skin by washing thoroughly with soap and water. 07 12.25 Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota Spark ignition system of your Toyota The spark ignition system in your Toyota meets all require- ments of the Canadian Interference−Causing Equipment Standard. A wide variety of non−genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehicles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does not warrant these prod- ucts and is not responsible for their performance, 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 products. Modification with non−genuine Toyota products could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi- tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty. 07 12.25 Installation of a mobile two−way radio system As the installation of a mobile two−way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as fol- lows, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precau- tionary measures or special instructions regarding installa- tion. D Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system D SRS airbag system D Seat belt pretensioner system D Traction control system (two−wheel drive models) D Active traction control system (four−wheel drive models) D “AUTO LSD” system (two−wheel drive models) D Vehicle stability control system D Downhill assist control system (four−wheel drive models) D Hill−start assist control system D Rear height control air suspension vi D Tire pressure warning system D Cruise control system D Anti−lock brake system D Electronic throttle control system Tires and loading on your Toyota Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and the excess load may result in the deterioration of steering ability and braking ability, leading to an accident. Check the tire inflation pressure periodi- cally and be sure to keep the load limits given in this Owner’s Manual. For details about tire inflation pressure and load limits, see pages 441 and 364. 07 12.25 Scrapping of your Toyota If The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. is scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as they are, it may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt preten- sioner removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your vehicle. the vehicle On−pavement and off−road driving tips This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility ve- hicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car because it is designed for off−road use also. In addition, this vehicle has a higher ground clearance and center of gravity than that of an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design fea- ture causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rol- lover. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. Be sure to read “Off−road vehicle precau- tions” on page 338 in Section 2 and “Off−road driving pre- cautions” on page 374 in Section 3. vii 07 12.25 Leak detection pump This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This check is done approximately five hours after the engine is turned off. So you may hear sound coming from under- neath the luggage compartment for several minutes. It does not indicate a malfunction. Perchlorate Material Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These components may include airbag, seat belt preten- sioners, and wireless remote control batteries. viii 07 12.25 SECTION 10 INDEX 475 07 12.25 “AUTO LSD” system Active traction control system Adding washer fluid Adjustment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 180 178 453 Front seats Rear seats Seat belt . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
