Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual covers all models and all equipment, including
options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle.

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of equipment.

Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine

Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound
coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota
vehicles are currently available on the market. You should know that these
parts are not covered by Toyota warranty and that Toyota is not responsible
for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may
cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products.
Modification with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification
may not be covered under warranty.

18

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle may
affect electronic systems such as the multi-port fuel injection system/sequen­tial multi-port fuel injection system, cruise control system, anti-lock brake
system, SRS airbag system or seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to
check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or special instruc­tions regarding installation.

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 seat belt
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 scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo­nents may include airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con­trol batteries.

19

CAUTION

■ General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ­ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi­cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis­tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.

■ General precaution regarding children’s safety

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 addi­tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu­pant by retracting the seat belt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal
collision.

1

Before driving

The pretensioner may not acti­vate in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a side impact or a rear
impact.

■ Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.

■ Automatic locking retractor (ALR)

When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. (→P. 92)

47

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (→P. 46)

Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu­pants. Extend the shoulder belt com­pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only a pregnant woman, but also the fetus
could suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a collision.

If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toyota
dealer free of charge.

■ Pregnant women

■ People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.

■ Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.

● Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (→P. 88)

● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat

belt, follow the instructions on P. 46 regarding seat belt usage.

■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli­sions.

■ Seat belt extender

48

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failing to do so may cause death or severe injury.

■ Wearing a seat belt

● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

● Always wear a seat belt properly.

● Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt

for more than one person at once, including children.

● Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always

use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

● Do not recline the seat any more than necessary to achieve a proper seat-

ing position. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.

● Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

● Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■ Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off
your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an
accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident. (→P. 47)

■ Child restraint lock function belt

Do not allow children to play with the child restraint lock function belt. If the
belt becomes twisted around a child’s neck, it will not be possible to pull the
belt out leading 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.

1

Before driving

49

1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

CAUTION

■ Seat belt pretensioners

● 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 seat belt
pretensioner for the front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of
a collision.

● If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In

that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at
your Toyota dealer.

■ Seat belt damage and wear

● Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

● Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose

parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat
belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

● Ensure that the belt and tab are locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota
dealer.

● Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been

involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.

● Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the

seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer.
Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating
properly resulting in death or serious injury.

■ Using a seat belt extender

● Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without

the extender.

● Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system

because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas­ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

● The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when

used by another person, or at a different seating position other than the
one originally intended.

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

■ While driving

● Do not adjust the position of the driver's seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.

A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.

● Do not place anything under the front seats.

Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci­dent. The adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.

■ Adjusting the seat position

● Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-

gers are not injured by the moving seat.

● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid

injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

1-7. Safety information

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.

Front airbags

Driver airbag and front passenger airbag
Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front pas­senger from impact with interior components.

Side and curtain shield airbags

Side airbags
Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants.

Curtain shield airbags
Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outer
seats.

Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sys­tem controls airbag deployment power for the driver and front pas­senger. The driver airbag system consists of the driver seat's position
sensor etc. The front passenger's airbag system consists of the front
passenger occupant classification sensor etc.

72

1-7. Safety information

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The
airbag sensor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an airbag
sensor.

In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag sys­tem triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators
quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion
of the occupants.

Before driving

73

1-7. Safety information

■ 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, and parts of the front and rear pillars and roof
side rail, 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 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 collision with a fixed wall that
does not move or deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or
deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g.
a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the
bed of a truck, etc.).

● It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the

vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front air­bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.

● The SRS front passenger airbag will not activate if there is no passenger

sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front passenger airbag
may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, or the seat belt is fastened, even
if the seat is unoccupied. (→P. 8 3)

74

1-7. Safety information

● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or

hard surface

● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

● Landing hard or vehicle falling

■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and curtain

shield airbags)

● The SRS side airbags 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 colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpen­dicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h]).

● The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no

passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the side airbag
on the passenger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if
the seat is unoccupied. (→P. 83)

■ 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.

1

Before driving

■ Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS front airbags

The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to inflate if the vehicle is
involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low­speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes suffi­cient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front air­bags may occur.

75

1-7. Safety information

● Collision from the side

● Collision from the rear

● Vehicle rollover

● Collision from the side to the vehicle

body other than the passenger com­partment

● Collision from the side at an angle

● Collision from the rear

● Vehicle rollover

■ Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS side airbags and cur-

tain shield airbags

The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbag system 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.

The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are not generally designed
to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is
involved in a low-speed side collision.
