Seat belt instructions for Canadian owners (in French)
The following is a French explanation of seat belt instructions extracted from the seat belt section in this manual. See the seat belt section for more detailed seat belt instructions in English.
Utilisation correcte des ceintures de sécurité ● Déroulez la sangle diagonale de telle sorte qu’elle passe bien sur l’épaule, sans pour autant être en contact avec le cou ou glisser de l’épaule.
● Placez la sangle abdominale le plus bas possible sur les han- ches.
● Réglez la position du dossier de siège. Asseyez-vous le dos le plus droit possible et calez- vous bien dans le siège.
● Ne vrillez pas la ceinture de
sécurité.
Entretien et soin ■ Ceintures de sécurité
Nettoyez avec un chiffon ou une éponge humectée d’eau savon- neuse tiède. Vérifiez régulièrement que les ceintures ne sont pas effilochées, entaillées ou exagérément usées.
AVALON (U)_(OM41456U)

ATTENTION
■Détérioration et usure des ceintures de sécurité
Inspectez les ceintures de sécurité périodiquement. Contrôlez qu’elles ne sont pas entaillées, effilochées et que leurs ancrages ne sont pas desser- rés. N’utilisez pas une ceinture de sécurité défectueuse avant qu’elle ne soit remplacée. Une ceinture de sécurité défectueuse n’apporte aucune garan- tie de protection de l’occupant en cas d’accident.

Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES INTELLI- GENTS conçus selon les normes de sécurité américaines applicables aux véhicules à moteur (FMVSS208). Le boîtier électronique (ECU) des coussins gonflables régule le déploiement de ces derniers sur la base des informations qu’il reçoit des capteurs, etc., indiqués ci-des- sus dans le schéma illustrant les composants du système. Parmi ces informations figurent la gravité du choc et l’occupation du véhicule par les passagers. Le déploiement rapide des coussins gonflables est obtenu au moyen d’une réaction chimique dans les dispositifs pyro- techniques, qui produit un gaz inoffensif permettant d’amortir le mou- vement des occupants.

ATTENTION
■Précautions concernant les coussins gonflables SRS
Respectez les précautions suivantes avec les coussins gonflables SRS. Autrement, des blessures graves, voire mortelles, pourraient s’ensuivre. ●Le conducteur et les passagers du véhicule doivent porter correctement
leur ceinture de sécurité. Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des dispositifs supplémentaires à utili- ser avec les ceintures de sécurité.
●Le coussin gonflable SRS conducteur se déploie avec une violence consi- dérable, qui peut être très dangereuse, voire mortelle, si le conducteur se trouve très près du coussin gonflable. L’autorité fédérale chargée de la sécurité routière aux États-Unis (NHTSA) conseille: Sachant que la zone de danger pour le coussin gonflable conducteur se trouve dans les premiers 2 à 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) de déploiement, vous pla- cer à 10 in. (250 mm) de votre coussin gonflable conducteur vous garantit une marge de sécurité suffisante. Cette distance est à mesurer entre l’axe du volant et le sternum. Si vous êtes assis à moins de 10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre position de conduite de plusieurs façons: • Reculez votre siège le plus possible, de manière à pouvoir encore
atteindre confortablement les pédales.
• Inclinez légèrement le dossier du siège.
Bien que les véhicules puissent être différents les uns des autres, la plupart des conducteurs peuvent s’asseoir à une distance de 10 in. (250 mm), même avec le siège conducteur complètement avancé, sim- plement en inclinant un peu le dossier de siège. Si vous avez des diffi- cultés à voir la route après avoir incliné votre siège, utilisez un coussin ferme et antidérapant pour vous rehausser ou, si votre véhicule est équipé du réglage en hauteur du siège, remontez-le.
• Si votre volant est réglable, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela a pour effet d’orienter le coussin gonflable en direction de votre poitrine plutôt que de votre tête et de votre cou.
Réglez votre siège selon ces recommandations de la NHTSA, tout en conservant le contrôle des pédales, du volant et la vue des commandes du tableau de bord.
AVALON (U)_(OM41456U)

ATTENTION
■Précautions concernant les coussins gonflables SRS
●Si vous attachez une rallonge de cein- ture de sécurité aux boucles de ceinture de sécurité avant, mais pas au pêne de la ceinture de sécurité, les coussins gonflables avant SRS détectent que le conducteur et le passager avant ont attaché leur ceinture de sécurité, alors même que ce n’est pas le cas. Dans ce cas, il se peut que les coussins gonfla- bles avant SRS ne se déploient pas correctement en cas de collision et vous risquez d’être tué ou grièvement blessé. Veillez à porter la ceinture de sécurité avec la rallonge de ceinture de sécurité.
●Le coussin gonflable SRS passager avant se déploie également avec une violence considérable, qui peut être très dangereuse, voire mortelle, si le passager avant se trouve très près du coussin gonflable. Éloignez le siège du passager avant au maximum du coussin gonflable et réglez le dossier de siège de façon à être assis bien droit dans le siège.
●Les nourrissons et les enfants qui ne sont pas correctement assis et/ou protégés peuvent être grièvement blessés ou tués par le déploiement d’un coussin gonflable. Installez dans un siège de sécurité enfant les nourris- sons et les enfants trop petits pour pouvoir utiliser la ceinture de sécurité. Toyota recommande vivement que les nourrissons et les jeunes enfants soient installés sur le siège arrière du véhicule et convenablement atta- chés. Les sièges arrière sont plus sûrs pour les nourrissons et les enfants que le siège du passager avant.
●N’installez jamais un siège de sécurité enfant type dos à la route sur le siège du passager avant, même si le témoin indicateur “AIR BAG OFF” est allumé. En cas d'accident, par la violence et la vitesse de son déploiement, le coussin gonflable passager avant peut blesser grièvement, voire tuer l'enfant si le siège de sécurité enfant type dos à la route est installé sur le siège du passager avant.
AVALON (U)_(OM41456U)
473
ATTENTION
■Précautions concernant les coussins gonflables SRS
●Ne vous asseyez pas sur le bord du siège et ne vous appuyez pas contre le tableau de bord.
●Ne laissez pas un enfant rester debout devant le coussin gonflable SRS passa- ger avant ou bien s’asseoir sur les genoux du passager avant.
●Ne laissez pas les occupants des siè- ges avant voyager avec un objet sur les genoux.
●Ne vous appuyez pas contre la porte, contre le rail latéral de toit ou contre les montants avant, latéraux et arrière.
●Ne laissez personne s’agenouiller sur les sièges passagers en appui contre la porte ou sortir la tête ou les mains à l’extérieur du véhicule.
●Ne fixez ni ne posez aucun objet sur le tableau de bord, la garniture du volant de direction et la partie inférieure du tableau de bord. Au déploiement des coussins gonfla- bles conducteur SRS, passager avant et genoux, tout objet risque de se trans- former en projectile.
AVALON (U)_(OM41456U)
474
ATTENTION
■Précautions concernant les coussins gonflables SRS
●Ne fixez rien aux portes, à la vitre du pare-brise, aux vitres latérales, aux montants avant et arrière, au rail latéral de toit et à la poignée d’assistance.
●Ne suspendez aucun cintre ni objet dur aux crochets à vêtements. En cas de déploiement des coussins gonflables rideau SRS, tous ces objets pour- raient se transformer en projectiles et causer des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Si un cache en vinyle recouvre la partie où le coussin gonflable de genoux
SRS se déploie, veillez à l’enlever.
●N’utilisez aucun accessoire de siège venant recouvrir les zones de déploiement des coussins gonflables latéraux SRS, car il risquerait d’en gêner le déploiement. De tels accessoires peuvent empêcher les coussins gonflables latéraux de fonctionner correctement, désactiver le dispositif ou entraîner le déploiement accidentel des coussins gonflables latéraux, ce qui pourrait entraîner la mort ou des blessures graves.
●Ne faites pas subir de chocs ou de pressions excessives aux zones ren-
fermant les composants des coussins gonflables SRS. En effet, cela pourrait entraîner un fonctionnement anormal des coussins gonflables SRS.
●Ne touchez aucun composant du système immédiatement après le déploiement (gonflage) des coussins gonflables SRS, car ils peuvent être chauds.
●Si vous avez des difficultés à respirer après le déploiement des coussins gonflables SRS, ouvrez une porte ou une vitre pour faire entrer de l’air frais, ou bien descendez du véhicule si cela ne présente pas de danger. Essuyez tout résidu dès que possible afin d’éviter d’éventuelles irritations de la peau.
●Si les parties renfermant les coussins gonflables SRS, telles que la garni- ture du volant et les garnitures de montants avant et arrière, sont abîmées ou craquelées, faites-les remplacer par votre concessionnaire Toyota.

For your information
Main Owner’s Manual Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not installed on your vehicle. All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing. However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice. Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.
Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehi- cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does not warrant these products 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. Modi- fication with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty.

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as: ●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system ●Dynamic radar cruise control system ●Cruise control system ●Anti-lock brake system ●SRS airbag system ●Seat belt pretensioner system Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe- cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.
Vehicle data recordings Your Toyota is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record certain data, such as:
• Engine speed • Accelerator status • Brake status • Vehicle speed • Shift position The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options with which it is equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record con- versations, sounds or pictures. ● Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc- tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality. Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except: • With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern-
• For use by Toyota in a law suit • For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or
the vehicle is leased
ment agency
vehicle owner
● Usage of data collected through Safety Connect (U.S. mainland only)
If your Toyota has Safety Connect and if you have subscribed to those ser- vices, please refer to the Safety Connect Telematics Subscription Service Agreement for information on data collected and its usage.
AVALON (U)_(OM41456U)

Event data recorder This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur- pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating; • Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-
tened;
pedal; and,
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ- ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi- tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. ● Disclosure of the EDR data
Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when: • An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehi-
cle) is obtained
ment agency
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern-
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit However, if necessary, Toyota may: • Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance • Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

Scrapping of your Toyota The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
