On−pavement and off−road
driving tips
than
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car be- cause it is designed for off−road use also. In addition, this vehicle has a higher ground clearance and center of gravity that of an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to rollover. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result loss of control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. Be sure to read “Off−road vehicle precautions” on page 178 in Section 2 and “Off−road driving precautions” on page 196 in Section 3.

Keys (without engine immobiliser system)
Keys (with engine immobiliser system)
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys. 1. Master key—This key works in every
lock.
2. Sub key—This key will not work in the
glove box.
To protect things locked in the glove box when you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub key with the attendant. Since the side doors can be locked with- out a key, you should always carry a spare key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.
KEY NUMBER PLATE Your key number is shown on the plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer using the key number. We recommend you to write down the key number and keep it in safe place.
Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys. 1. Master key (black)—This key works in lock. Your Toyota dealer will every need it to make you a new key with built−in transponder chip.
2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work

A transponder chip for engine immobiliser system has been filled in the head of the master and sub keys. These chips are needed to enable the system to function correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the engine. To protect things locked in the glove box when you have your vehicle parked, leave the sub key with the attendant. Since the side doors can be locked with- out a key, you should always carry a spare key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

When using a key containing a trans- ponder chip, observe following precautions: z When starting the engine, do not use the key with a key ring resting on the key grip and do not press the key ring against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts.
z When starting the engine, do not use the key with other transponder keys around (including keys of oth- er vehicles) and do not press other key plates against the key grip. Otherwise the engine may not start, or may stop soon after it starts. If this happens, remove the key once and then insert it again after taking off other transponder keys (includ- ing keys of other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the engine.

z Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off electromagnet- ic waves.
z Do not knock the key hard against
other objects.
z Do not leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long period, such as on the dashboard and hood under the direct sunlight.
z Do not put the key
in water or
wash it in an ultrasonic washer.
z Do not bend the key grip.
z Do not use the key with electromag-
netic materials.

Engine immobiliser system
For your Toyota dealer to make you a new key with built−in transponder chip, your dealer will need your key number and master key. However, there is a limit to the number of additional keys your Toyota dealer can make for you. If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the sys- tem or start the engine.
NOTICE
Do not modify, remove or disas- semble the engine immobiliser sys- tem. If any unauthorized changes or modifications are made, the proper operation of the system cannot be guaranteed.
immobiliser system
The engine is a theft prevention system. When you in- sert the key in the ignition switch, the transponder chip the key’s head transmits an electronic code to the ve- hicle. The engine will start, only when the electronic code in the chip corre- sponds to the registered ID code for the vehicle.

Front seats— —Front seat precautions (on vehicles with SRS side airbags)
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed in the driver and front passenger seats. Observe the following precautions. D Do not lean against the front door when the vehicle is in use. The side airbag inflates with considerable speed and force; you may be killed or seriously injured.
for
D Do not use accessories
the seats which cover the parts where the side airbags inflate. Such acces- sories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, causing death or serious injury.
the
D Do not modify or replace the seats or upholstery of front seats with the side airbags. Such changes may disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate acciden- tally, resulting in death or serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer if you insist on modifications of this kind.
—Seat adjustment precautions Adjust the driver’s seat so that the foot pedals, steering wheel and instrument panel controls are within easy reach of the driver.
CAUTION
D Adjustments should not be made while the vehicle is moving, as the seat may unexpectedly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
D When adjusting the seat, be careful that the seat does not hit a passen- ger or luggage.
D After adjusting the seat position, try sliding it forward and backward to make sure it is locked in posi- tion.
D After adjusting the seatback, exert body pressure to make sure it is locked in position.
D Do not put objects under the seats. The objects may interfere with the seat−lock mechanism or unexpect- edly push up the seat position ad- justing lever; the seat may suddenly move, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
