NOTICE
Do not disconnect the battery cables before contacting your Toyota dealer.
This SRS side airbag system has a ser- vice reminder indicator to inform the driver of operating problems. If either of the fol- lowing conditions occurs, this indicates a malfunction of the airbags. Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to ser- vice the vehicle. (cid:1) The light does not come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position, or the light remains on. (cid:1) The light comes on or flashes while
driving.

In the following cases, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible: (cid:1) The SRS side airbags have been in-
flated.
(cid:1) The portion of the doors (shaded in the illustration) were involved in an acci- dent that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side airbags to inflate. (cid:1) The surface of the seats with the side airbag (shaded is scratched, cracked, or otherwise dam- aged.

Child restraint— —Child restraint precautions Toyota strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for children small enough to use them. The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of a child restraint system. Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts–” on page 40 for details.
CAUTION
(cid:1) For effective protection in automo- bile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an acci- dent, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
(cid:1) Toyota strongly urges use of a proper child restraint system which conforms to the size of the child, and is put on the rear seat. Accord- ing to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. (cid:1) Never put a rear–facing child re- straint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if a rear–facing child restraint system is put on the front seat.
(cid:1) Unless it is unavoidable, do not put the
restraint system on
a child front seat.
(cid:1) A
forward–facing child
restraint system should be allowed to put on the front seat only when it is un- avoidable. Always move the seat as far back as possible, because the force of the deploying airbag could cause death or serious injury to the child.
(cid:1) On vehicles with side airbags, do not allow the child to lean against the front door or around the front door even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dan- gerous if the side airbag inflates, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child.
(cid:1) Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly se- cured.
61
—Child restraint system A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap por- tion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must carefully consult the manufacturer’s in- structions which accompany child re- straint system. To provide proper restraint, use a child restraint system following the manufactur- er’s instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the child restraint system. Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions provided by its manufacturer. General directions are also provided under the following instructions. The child restraint system should be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
62
CAUTION
(cid:1) Never put a rear–facing child re- straint system on the front seat. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the airbag can cause death or serious injury if a rear–facing child restraint system is put on the front seat.
(cid:1) Unless it is unavoidable, do not put the

(cid:1) After
installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in place following the manufacturer’s instructions. If it is not restrained securely, it may cause death or se- rious the event of a sudden stop or accident.

When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt or place it in the trunk or somewhere other than in the passenger compartment.

If the red high coolant temperature warn- ing light comes on, your hybrid system is too hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the hybrid system to cool. Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as: (cid:1) Driving up a long hill on a hot day. (cid:1) Reducing speed or stopping after high
