Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed
to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse
conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices.
Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering
input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing
loss of control.

2

Brake-Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of
the benefits of ABS (Anti-lock Brake System). It is not a
substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also
depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road
conditions.

replacing or rotating tires or wheels.

*Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.

Airbag-Supplemental Restraint System

The Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
front, side* and side curtain* airbags are designed to
help provide further protection for the driver, front
passenger and second seat outboard passenger in
addition to the primary safety protection provided
by the seat belts.

Front passenger occupant classification system

Monitors the load on the front passenger seat, and
detects if the seat belt is fastened to determine
passenger occupancy and size of passenger, if any.

For the system to correctly determine conditions

-

Do not place heavy objects on the front passenger
seat.

-

Do not attach a seatback table to the front
passenger seatback.

-

Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by
putting your hands or feet on the front passenger
seatback from the rear passenger seat.

Please read the following caution, and refer to the
Owner’s Manual for more details.

*If installed

•The driver and front passenger airbag Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) is designed only as a supplement to the primary
protection of the seat belt systems of the driver and front
passenger. The front seat occupants are particularly susceptible
to injury if they do not wear their seat belts; when sudden
braking or a collision occurs, they may be thrown forward. To
obtain maximum protection in an accident, the driver and all
passengers in the vehicle should always wear their seat belts
when driving because serious injuries or death can result to
unrestrained occupants. For instructions and precautions
concerning the seat belt system, see “Seat belts” in the
Owner’s Manual.

•Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system
on the rear seat that conforms to the size of the child.
According to accident statistics, a child is safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat than on the front seat.

•Never

use a rear-facing child restraint system in the front seat
even if the front passenger occupant classification indicator
light indicates “OFF.” The force of the rapid inflation of the
passenger airbag can cause severe injury or death to a child.

•Unless it is unavoidable, do not install a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front seat even if the front passenger
occupant classification indicator light indicates “OFF.” If you
must install a forward-facing child restraint system on the front
seat, move the seat as far back as possible.

•Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions
provided by the child restraint manufacturer and the system is
properly secured.

•Make sure the front passenger occupant classification indicator
light indicates “ON” when using the seat belt extender for the
front passenger seat. If the indicator light indicates “OFF,”
disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect the seat belt extender
after making sure the indicator light indicates “ON.” If you use
the seat belt extender while the indicator light indicates
“OFF,” the front passenger airbag and side airbag on the front
passenger side may not activate correctly, which could cause
death or serious injury in the event of collision.

•If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the occupant
classification indicator light should indicate “ON.” If the “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 “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.

•The SRS side and side curtain airbags (optional) are designed to
deploy in certain types of severe side impact collisions. In all
other collisions, the side impact and side curtain airbags will
not deploy. For instructions and precautions, see your Owner’s
Manual.

•Do not lean against the side doors when the vehicle is in use.
The side and side curtain airbags inflate with considerable
speed and force. Death or serious injury could result.

•Do not modify, cover or replace the surface of the front seats.
Such changes could disable the system or prevent the airbags
from activating correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.

OVERVIEW FEATURES/OPERATIONS

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES

Rollover Information

This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from an
ordinary passenger car because it is also designed for off-road
use. It has a higher ground clearance and higher center of
gravity than an ordinary passenger car. This vehicle design
feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to roll
over. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles.

An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view
of the road allowing you to anticipate problems. However, it
is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary
passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are
designed for off-road use. Therefore, sharp turns at excessive
speeds may cause rollover.

Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control, accidents or vehicle rollover causing death or
serious injury. Be sure to read your Owner’s Manual for more
information on safe driving both on and off-road.

Avoid Abrupt Maneuvers

and Excessive Speed.

Always Buckle Up.

See Owner’s Manual

Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your vehicle:

Always observe the following precautions to minimize
the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your
vehicle:

•In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly
more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
Therefore, the driver and all passengers should fasten
their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving.

•Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all
possible. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or vehicle rollover causing
death or serious injury.

•Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the
center of the vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt
maneuvers; otherwise, it may result in a loss of ability
to operate this vehicle correctly.

•Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its
profile and higher center of gravity, your vehicle is
more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary
passenger car. Slowing down will allow you to have
better control.

•When driving off-road or in rugged terrain, do not drive
at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike
objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle
rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also
risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension
and chassis.

•Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Driving
straight up or straight down is preferred. Your vehicle
(or any similar off-road vehicle) can tip over sideways
much more easily than forward or backward.
