For your information

Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual applies to 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.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota

Both genuine Toyota and a wide variety of other spare parts and accessories
for Toyota vehicles are currently available on the market. Should it be
determined that any of the genuine Toyota parts or accessories supplied with
the vehicle need to be replaced, Toyota recommends that genuine Toyota
parts or accessories, be used to replace them. Other parts or accessories of
matching quality can also be used. Toyota cannot accept any liability or
guarantee spare parts and accessories which are not genuine Toyota
products, nor for replacement or installation involving such parts. In addition,
damage or performance problems resulting from the use of non-genuine
Toyota spare parts or accessories may not be covered under warranty.

AYGO_WE_99G80E

Installation of an RF-transmitter system

The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec­tronic systems such as:

 Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

 Anti-lock brake system

 SRS airbag system

 Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional for precautionary measures or spe­cial instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system.

Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi­tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is
available on request at any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.

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 any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes­sional, before you scrap your vehicle.

Your vehicle contains batteries and/or accumulators. Do not discard them into
the environment but cooperate with separate collection (Directive 2006/66/
EC).

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 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.

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

 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.

 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. 92)

 When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s

seat belt, follow the instructions on P. 59 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 regulations

If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for seat belt replacement or installation.

CAUTION

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (P. 59)

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 the pregnant woman, but also the
fetus could suffer death or serious injury
as a result of sudden braking or a colli­sion.

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

 To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than

necessary. 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.

equipped professional.

 Seat belt damage and wear

 Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt or plate 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
belt cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

 Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact any autho­rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro­fessional.

 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 any authorized Toy­ota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

1-7. Safety information

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. 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.

1

 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.

 Vehicles without SRS curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module

(steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats
may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

 Vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags: 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 will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds

the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi­mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision 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

pretensioners will activate.

Before driving

AYGO_WE_99G80E

81

 Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or

hard surface

 Falling into or jumping over a deep hole

 Landing hard or falling

 Collision from the side

 Collision from the rear

 Vehicle rollover

 SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield air-

bags [if equipped])

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 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle collid­ing with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orien­tation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).

 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.

 Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front air-

bags)

The SRS front 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.

82

AYGO_WE_99G80E

1-7. Safety information

 Collision from the side to the vehicle

body other than the passenger com­partment

 Collision from the side at an angle

 Collision from the front

 Collision from the rear

 Vehicle rollover

 Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags

(SRS side and curtain shield airbags [if equipped])

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.

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.

 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.

Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.)
of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag pro­vides 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 250
mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in several
ways:

• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.

• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) 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 air­bag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.

The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintain­ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instru­ment panel controls.

CAUTION

 Do not sit on the edge of the seat or

lean against the dashboard.

 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.

 Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do not

lean against the front door.

 Vehicles with SRS side and curtain

shield airbags: Do not lean against the
door, the roof side rail or the front, side
and rear pillars.

 SRS airbag precautions

 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 air­bag 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 sys­tem. 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. 92)

86

CAUTION

 SRS airbag precautions

 Vehicles with SRS side airbags: 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 dash­board or steering wheel pad.
These items can become projectiles
when the SRS driver and front passen­ger airbags deploy.

 Vehicles with SRS side airbags: Do not

attach anything to areas such as a
door, windshield glass and side door
glass.

 Vehicles with SRS side and curtain

shield airbags: Do not attach anything
to areas such as a door, windshield
glass, side door glass, front or rear pil­lar and roof side rail.

CAUTION

 SRS airbag precautions

 On vehicles with SRS side airbags, do not use seat accessories which

cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate as they may interfere
with inflation of the airbags. Such accessories may prevent the side air­bags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side 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.

 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.

 On vehicles with SRS side airbags, if the areas where the SRS airbags are

stored, such as the steering wheel pad, are damaged or cracked, have
them replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.

 On vehicles with SRS curtain shield airbags, 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 any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.

CAUTION

Deactivating the front seat passenger airbag

Insert the key into the cylinder
and turn to the “OFF” position.

SRS warning light turns on (only
when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position).

 When installing a child restraint system

For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In
the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as
long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left “ON”, the strong impact of the air­bag deployment (inflation) may cause serious injury or even death.

 When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger

seat

Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to “ON”.
If it is left “OFF”, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which
may result in serious injury or even death.

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

appropriate 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. 103)

 If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you

reside, please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional for the child
restraint system installation.

 Toyota recommends that you use a child restraint system which

conforms to the regulation ECE No.44.

1-7. Safety information

CAUTION

When you have to use a child restraint
system on the front passenger seat,
adjust the following:

 The seatback to the most upright posi-

tion

 The seat as far back as possible

 When installing the child restraint system on the front passenger 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. 59)

 Using a child restraint system

The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop­erly secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the
event of sudden braking or an accident).

 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 acci­dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.

 Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat

when the airbag manual on-off switch is on. (P. 90)
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.
