NOTICE ■When using a seat belt extender When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself. 34 1-1. For safe use SRS airbags The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the occupants. They work together with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury. ◆ SRS front airbags SRS driver airbag/front passenger airbag Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front passen- ger from impact with interior components SRS driver knee airbag Can help provide driver protection SRS seat cushion airbags Can help restrain the driver and front passenger ◆ SRS side and curtain shield airbags SRS side airbags Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants SRS curtain shield airbags Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outer seats SRS airbag system components 1-1.

For safe use Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU) controls airbag deployment based on infor- mation obtained from the sensors, etc. shown in the system compo- nents diagram above. This information includes crash severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants. WARNING ■SRS airbag precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. ●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts. ●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advises: Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of inflation, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag pro- vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can change your driving position in sev- eral ways: • Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the ped- als comfortably. • Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature. • If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air- bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck. The seat should be adjusted as recommended by NHTSA above, while still maintaining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls. 1-1. For safe use 37 WARNING ■SRS airbag precautions ●If the seat belt extender has been con- nected to the front seat belt buckles but the seat belt extender has not also been fastened to the latch plate of the seat belt, the SRS front airbags will judge that the driver and front passenger are wearing the seat belt even though the seat belt has not been connected. In this case, the SRS front airbags may not activate correctly in a collision, resulting in death or serious injury in the event of a collision. Be sure to wear the seat belt with the seat belt extender. ●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be as far from the air- bag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright. ●Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys- tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. (P. 53) ●Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard. 38 1-1. For safe use WARNING ■SRS airbag precautions ●Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger. ●Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold items on their knees. ●Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil- lars. ●Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle. ●Do not attach anything to or lean any- thing against areas such as the dash- board, steering wheel pad and lower portion of the instrument panel. These items can become projectiles when the SRS driver, front passenger and driver knee airbags deploy. WARNING ■SRS airbag precautions ●Do not attach anything to areas such as a door, windshield glass, side door glass, front or rear pillar, roof side rail and assist grip. ●Do not attach any heavy, sharp or hard objects such as keys and accessories to the key. The objects may restrict the SRS driver knee airbag inflation or be thrust into the driver’s seat area by the force of the deploying airbag, thus caus- ing a danger. 1-1. For safe use 39 ●Do not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy. ●If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS driver knee airbag will deploy, be sure to remove it. ●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the side air- bags and seat cushion airbags from activating correctly, disable the sys- tem or cause the side airbags and seat cushion airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury. ●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS air- bag components. Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction. ●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air- bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot. 40 1-1. For safe use WARNING ■SRS airbag precautions ●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation. ●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Toyota dealer. ●Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the SRS front airbags for the front passenger may not deploy in the event of a collision. ■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury. ●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags ●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars or roof side rails ●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant compartment ●Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows, winches ●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system ●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios and CD players ●Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability. 1-1. For safe use 41 ■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) ●Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflating) SRS airbag. ●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. ●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot. ●The windshield may crack. ■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) ●The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal colli- sion with a fixed wall that does not move or deform). However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situations: • If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact • If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck ●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre- tensioners will activate. ●The SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbag for the front passenger will not activate if there is no passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. How- ever, the SRS front airbags and seat cushion airbag for the front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied. ●The SRS seat cushion airbags on the front seats will not operate if the occu- pant is not wearing a seat belt. ■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle collid- ing with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orien- tation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]). 42 1-1. For safe use ■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration. ●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface ●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole ●Landing hard or falling ■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air- bags) The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur. ●Collision from the side ●Collision from the rear ●Vehicle rollover 1-1. For safe use 43 ■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment. ●Collision from the side to the vehicle body other than the passenger compart- ment ●Collision from the side at an angle The SRS side and curtain shield airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side collision. ●Collision from the front ●Collision from the rear ●Vehicle rollover 44 1-1. For safe use ■When to contact your Toyota dealer In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. Con- tact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. ●Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated. ●The front of the vehicle is damaged or deformed, or was involved in an acci- dent that was not severe enough to cause the SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags to inflate. ●A portion of a door is damaged or deformed, or the vehicle was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS side and curtain shield airbags to inflate. ●The pad section of the steering wheel, dashboard near the front passenger air- bag or lower portion of the instrument panel is scratched, cracked, or other- wise damaged. ●The front seat cushion surface is scratched, cracked, or otherwise dam- aged. 1-1. For safe use 45 ●The surface of the seats with the side airbag is scratched, cracked, or other- wise damaged. ●The portion of the front pillars, rear pil- lars or roof side rail garnishes (padding), containing the curtain shield airbags inside, is scratched, cracked, or other- wise damaged. 46 1-1. For safe use Front passenger occupant classification system Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant classi- fication system. This system detects the conditions of the front passenger seat and activates or deactivates the devices for front passenger.

For safe use WARNING ■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the front passenger occupant classification system. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. ●Wear the seat belt properly. ●Make sure the front passenger’s seat belt plate has not been left inserted into the buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat. ●Make sure the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is not illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger seat. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle, and reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender after making sure the “AIR BAG ON” indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender while the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi- nated, the SRS airbags for the passenger may not activate correctly, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of collision. ●Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment (e.g. seatback pocket). ●Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat. ●Do not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or press on the seatback with their legs. ●Do not put objects under the front passenger seat. ●Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a rear seat. This may cause the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light to be illuminated, which indicates that the passenger’s airbags will not deploy in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seat- back to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system. 1-1. For safe use 51 WARNING ■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions ●If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the “AIR BAG ON” indicator light is illuminated. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn correctly. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward. ●When it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front pas- senger seat in the proper order. (P. 57) ●Do not modify or remove the front seats. ●Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Other- wise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection system. In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately. ●Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seatbacks. ●Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion and seat cover, that cov- ers the seat cushion surface. ●Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat. 52 1-1. For safe use Safety information for children Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi- cle. Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. ● It is recommended that children sit in the rear seats to avoid acci- dental contact with the shift lever, wiper switch, etc. ● Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switch to avoid children opening the door while driving or operating the power window accidentally. ● Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door, seats, etc. WARNING Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key. Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the cigarette lighter, the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addi- tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children. 1-1. For safe use 53 Child restraint systems A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/ shoulder belt. The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of child restraint systems. Points to remember Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is much safer than installing one on the front passenger seat. ● Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is appro- priate to the age and size of the child. ● For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the child restraint system. General installation instructions are provided in this manual. (P. 57) 54 1-1. For safe use Types of child restraints Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types according to the age and size of the child:  Rear facing — Infant seat/  Forward facing — Convertible convertible seat seat  Booster seat ■Selecting an appropriate child restraint system ●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. ●If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicle’s seat belt. (P. 26) 1-1. For safe use 55 WARNING ■Child restraint precautions ●For effective protection in automobile 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 accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior. ●Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con- forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci- dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. ●Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. ●A forward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front pas- senger seat only when it is unavoidable. A child restraint system that requires a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat since there is no top tether strap anchor for the front passenger seat. Adjust the seatback as upright as possible and always move the seat as far back as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illumi- nated, because the front passenger airbag could inflate with considerable speed and force. Otherwise, the child may be killed or seriously injured. ●Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or seri- ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. 56 1-1. For safe use WARNING ■Child restraint precautions ●Do not allow the child to lean his/her head or any part of his/her body against the door or the area of the seat, front and rear pillars or roof side rails from which the SRS side airbags or SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is dangerous if the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate, and the impact could cause death or serious injury to the child. ●Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident. ■When children are in the vehicle Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt. ■When the child restraint system is not in use ●Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the pas- senger compartment. ●If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident. 1 1-1. For safe use 57 Installing child restraints Follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions. Firmly secure child restraints to the rear seats using the LATCH anchors or a seat belt. Attach the top tether strap when installing a child restraint. The lap/shoulder belt can be used if your child restraint system is not compatible with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system. Child restraint LATCH anchors LATCH anchors are provided for the rear outer seats. (Buttons dis- playing the location of the anchors are attached to the seats.) Seat belts equipped with a child restraint locking mechanism (ALR/ELR belts except driver’s seat belt) (P. 26) Anchor brackets (for top tether strap) An anchor bracket is provided for the each rear seats. 58 1-1. For safe use Installation with LATCH system  Type A strap Widen the gap between the seat cushion and seatback slightly. Latch the hooks of the lower straps onto the LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether should be latched onto the top tether strap anchor. For owners in Canada: The symbol on a child restraint system indicates the presence of a lower connec- tor system. Canada only  Type B Widen the gap between the seat cushion and seatback slightly. Latch the buckles onto the LATCH anchors. If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap should be latched onto the top tether strap anchor. For owners in Canada: The symbol on a child restraint system indicates the presence of a lower connec- tor system. Canada only 1-1.

(P. 104) Secure the child restraint system using the LATCH anchors or a seat belt. Open the anchor bracket cover, latch the hook onto the anchor bracket and tighten the top tether strap. Make sure the top tether strap is securely latched. Reinstall the luggage cover. ■Laws and regulations pertaining to anchorages The LATCH system conforms to FMVSS225 or CMVSS210.2. Child restraint systems conforming to FMVSS213 or CMVSS213 specifica- tions can be used. This vehicle is designed to conform to the SAE J1819. 64 1-1. For safe use WARNING ■When installing a booster seat To prevent the belt from going into ALR lock mode, do not fully extend the shoulder belt. ALR mode causes the belt to tighten only. This could cause injury or discomfort to the child. (P. 29) ■When installing a child restraint system Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix the child restraint system securely in place. If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. ●If the driver’s seat interferes with the child restraint system and prevents it from being attached correctly, attach the child restraint system to the rear right seat. ●Adjust the front passenger seat so that it does not interfere with the child restraint system. ●Only put a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat when unavoidable. When installing a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as pos- sible even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indica- tor light is illuminated. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury if the airbags deploy (inflate). ●When a booster seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. 1-1. For safe use 65 WARNING ■When installing a child restraint system ●Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted. ●Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to ensure that it has been securely installed. ●After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat. ●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. ●When a child restraint system with a top tether strap is installed, do not install the head restraint. The head restraint may interfere with the top tether strap preventing secure installation of the child restraint system. ●Make sure to properly store the removed head restraint in a secure place when you use the child restraint system on the rear seat. ●When using the rear right seat for the child restraint system, do not sit in the rear center seat. Seat belt function may be impaired, such as being positioned overly high or loose-fitting, which may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden braking or an accident. ■Do not use a seat belt extender If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sud- den braking, sudden swerving or an accident. ■To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors When using the LATCH anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached, or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident. 66 1-1. For safe use Exhaust gas precautions Harmful substances to the human body are included in exhaust gases if inhale. WARNING Exhaust gases contain harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard. ■Important points while driving ●Keep the back door closed. ●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open the windows and have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. ■When parking ●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the engine. ●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time. If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior. ●Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. ■Exhaust pipe The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by your Toyota dealer. 1-2. Theft deterrent system 67 Engine immobilizer system The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent the engine from starting if a key has not been previously regis- tered in the vehicle’s on-board computer. Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehi- cle. This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts. The system begins operating after the key has been removed from the engine switch.
