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 front passenger will not activate, which

could cause death or serious injury in the event of a collision.

● Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment.

● 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.

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■ Front passenger occupant classification system precautions

● 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 SRS airbags for the front passenger will not

deploy in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear

seat, return the seatback 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.

● 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. 59)

● 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

front passenger occupant classification system. In this case, contact your

Toyota dealer immediately.

● Child restraint systems installed on the second 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.

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 windows, the moon roof or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat

build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to

children.

1-1. For safe use

Child restraint systems

A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be

properly restrained on the seat with the LATCH anchors or 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. 59)

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/con-

 Forward facing  Convertible

vertible 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. 32)

1-1. For safe use

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 pas-

senger airbag can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-fac-

ing 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 an accident.

● 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 accident.

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■ 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

accident.

1-1. For safe use

Installing child restraints

■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.

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. 33)

■ 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 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 right-hand

rear 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 seat when unavoid-

able. When installing a forward-facing

child restraint system on the front pas-

senger seat, move the seat as far back

as possible even if the “AIR BAG OFF”

indicator light is illuminated. Failure to

do so may result in death or serious

injury if the airbags deploy (inflate).

1-1. For safe use

WARNING

■ When installing a child restraint system

● Vehicles with third row seats: When using the LATCH anchors for a child

restraint system, move the seat as far back as possible, with the seatback

close to the child restraint system.

● 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. Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event

of an accident or a sudden braking.

● 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 securing some types of child restraint systems in second or third

row seats, it may not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions

next to the child restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt

effectiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoulder and

low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the child restraint,

move to a different position. Failure to do so may result in death or serious

injury.

■ 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 a 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 or an accident.

1-1. For safe use

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust

gases if inhale.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include 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 on 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.

Safety information for Safety Connect

Important! Read this information before using Safety Connect.

■ Exposure to radio frequency signals

The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power

radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio

frequency (RF) signals.

In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wire-

less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-

dards previously set by the following U.S. and international

standards bodies.

● ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

● NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-

ment) Report 86 [1986]

● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation

Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-

uations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-

neers, and physicians from universities, and government health

agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to

develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).

The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in

addition to those standards.
