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 Manu- al is the most important section for you and your family to read. Section 1−3 describes the function and operation con- cerning seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child re- straint systems of this vehicle and some potential haz- ards you should be aware of. These systems work to- gether 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 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.

family with

the equal

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 indi- vidually 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 imply, Restraint System) airbags are, as 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.

tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of

In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with the SRS airbags makes the SRS airbags themselves poten- tial sources of 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 exam- ple of how the instructions in Section 1−3 of this Own- er’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can pro- vide to you and your family in the event of an accident.

Toyota recommends you to read the provisions in Sec- tion 1−3 carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of ownership of this vehicle.

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 pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dis- pose of your vehicle.

transmission driving tips

(Models equipped with Sequential Manual

Transmission only)

The sequential manual transmission is a 6−speed forward/ reverse transmission. With the basics of the traditional manual transmission, the clutch operation and transmission shifting is controlled electronically. Unlike automatic trans- missions, this system does not upshift automatically at the time of acceleration.

To understand the unique system and operation method of the sequential manual transmission, read Section 1−6 on page 85 thoroughly before driving. For starting procedures, see “How to start the engine— ” on page 154 in Section 3. Please Information For Your Sequential Manual Transmission” equipped in your vehicle as well.

Keys

SB12039

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys. 1. Master keys (black)—These keys work in every lock. Your Toyota dealer will need one of them to make a new key with a built−in transponder chip.

2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work

in the glove box and luggage space.

A transponder chip for engine immobilizer system has been placed 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 items locked in the glove box or luggage space when using valet park- ing, leave the sub key with the attendant. Since the doors can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

SY12001

NOTICE

the

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 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 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.

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 remov- ing 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.

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.

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.

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 immobilizer sys- tem. If any unauthorized changes or modifications are made, proper opera- tion of the system cannot be guaran- teed.
