BOOT LID  
CAUTION  
Boot lid precautions  
•
Ensure the boot lid is closed before driving. If the boot lid is left open, it may hit  
nearby objects while driving or luggage in the boot may be unexpectedly thrown  
out and cause an accident. Keeping the boot lid closed also prevents exhaust gases  
from entering the vehicle.  
•
•
•
Before driving the vehicle, make sure the boot lid is fully closed. If the boot lid is not  
fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving, causing an accident.  
Never let anyone sit in the boot. In the event of sudden braking or a collision, they  
are susceptible to death or serious injury.  
When children are in the vehicle, observe the following precautions. Failure to do so  
may result in death or serious injury:  
–
Do not allow children to enter the boot. If a child is accidentally locked in the  
boot, they could overheat or suffocate  
–
Do not allow a child to open or close the boot liDoing so may cause the boot  
lid to operate unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands, head, or neck to be  
caught by the closing boot lid  
20  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Opening, closing and locking the doors  
CAUTION  
When using the boot, observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause  
parts of the body to be caught, resulting in serious injury.  
•
•
•
•
•
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the boot lid before opening it.  
Failure to do so may cause the boot lid to fall closed again after it is opened.  
When opening or closing the boot lid, thoroughly check to make sure the  
surrounding area is safe.  
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know the boot is  
about to open or close.  
Use caution when opening or closing the boot lid in windy weather as it may move  
abruptly in strong wind.  
The boot lid may fall if it is not  
opened fully. It is more difficult to  
open or close the boot lid on an  
incline than on a level surface, so  
beware of the boot lid unexpectedly  
opening or closing by itself. Make  
sure the boot lid is fully open and  
secure before using the boot.

SEATS  
While the vehicle is being driven, all vehicle occupants should have the seatback upright,  
sit well back in the seat and correctly wear the seatbelts provided.  
CAUTION  
•
Persons not correctly seated and/or not correctly restrained by seatbelts can be  
killed or severely injured in the event of emergency braking or a collision.  
•
•
Do not drive the vehicle unless the occupants are correctly seated.  
Do not allow any passenger to sit on top of a folded-down seatback, or in the  
luggage compartment or cargo area.  
FRONT SEATS  
CAUTION  
Driver’s seat precautions  
•
The SRS driver airbag deploys with consideble force and can cause death or  
serious injury, especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.  
•
The driver airbag risk zone is the first 505 mm of inflation. Therefore, remaining  
250 mm from your driver airbag wll minimise your risk of sustaining injuries when  
the airbag inflates. This distance is measured from the centre of the steering  
wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm away from the driver airbag,  
consider changing your drng position in the following ways:  
–
–
–
–
Move your seat backwards as far as you can while still reaching the pedals  
comfortably  
Slightly reline the back of your seat. If reclining the back of the seat impedes  
your view of the road, raise your seat if your vehicle has that feature  
Adjust your steering wheel downwards slightly. This will point the airbag toward  
your chest instead of at your head and neck  
Always ensure that you maintain control of the foot pedals and steering wheel  
and that you maintain your view of the instrument panel controls and the road  
Front passenger’s seat precautions  
•
The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force and can  
cause death or serious injury, especially if the passenger is very close to the airbag.  
•
To minimise the risk of sustaining injuries when the airbag inflates, the front  
passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible, with the seatback  
adjusted so the front passenger sits upright.  
23  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Adjustable components  
CAUTION  
Front seats with SRS side airbags  
SRS side airbags are installed in the driver’s and front passenger’s seats.  
Observe the following precautions.  
•
•
•
Do not lean against the front doors when the vehicle is in use. The side airbags  
inflate with considerable speed and force and you may be killed or seriously injured  
if your body is in contact with them during inflation.  
Do not use seat accessories which cover the area where the side airbags inflate.  
Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, causing  
death or serious injury.  
Do not modify or replace the seats or upholstery of the seats equipped with side  
airbags. Such change may prevent the side airbag system from activating correctly,  
disable the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accideny, resulting in  
death or serious injury.  
CAUTION  
Seat adjustment precautions  
•

SEATBELTS  
Seatbelt precautions  
The seatbelts provided for your vehicle are designed for people of adult size, large enough  
to correctly wear them.  
CAUTION  
General  
•
Toyota recommends that the driver and all passengers must wear seatbelts  
whenever the vehicle is moving. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer  
serious bodily injury or death during sudden braking or a collision.  
•
When wearing a seatbelt, always observe the following:  
–
–
Each person must wear a separate seatbelt  
Do not recline the seatback any more than needed. In a frontal collision, the  
more the seat is reclined, the greater the risk of death or serious injury  
Seatbelts provide maximum protection in a frontal or rear collision when the  
driver and passengers are sitting up straight and well back in their seats. If you  
are reclined, the lap belt may slide past your hips and apply forces directly to the  
abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt  
–
31  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Adjustable components  
CAUTION  
People with special needs  
Pregnant woman:  
•
•
Toyota recommends the use of a  
seatbelt. Ask your doctor for specific  
recommendations.  
The lap belt should be worn  
securely and as low as possible over  
the hips and not on the waist.  
Children:  
•
An appropriate child restraint system must be used for all children until they reach  
a certain age or weight. The pise legal requirements are different in the various  
States and Territories so you should consult your local laws. Also refer to “Child  
restraint system” on page 64.  
•
•
Some States and Territories have laws governing where a child is permitted to sit in  
vehicles so you should consult your local laws.  
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear  
seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seatbelt. According to accident  
statistics, the child is safer when correctly restrained in the rear seat than in the  
front seat.  
•
•
If a child must sit in the front seat, the seatbelts should be worn correctly. If an  
accident occurs and the seatbelts are not worn correctly, the force of the rapid  
inflation of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child.  
Do not allow a child to stand up or kneel on either rear or front seats. An  
unrestrained child could suffer serious injury or death during emergency braking  
or a collision. Also, do not let the child sit on your lap. Holding a child in your arms  
does not provide sufficient restraint.  
32  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Adjustable components  
CAUTION  
Injured person:  
•
Toyota strongly recommends the use of a seatbelt. Depending on the injury, first  
check with your doctor for specific recommendations.  
CAUTION  
Positioning of seatbelts  
•
•
Seatbelts are designed to bear  
upon the bony structure of the body.  
Position the belt low across the front  
of the pelvis and over the shoulder  
so it does not contact the neck or  
slide off.  
Wearing the lap section of the belt  
across the abdominal area must be  
avoided.  
•
•
Seatbelts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to  
provide the protection for which they hae been designed. A slack belt will greatly  
reduce the protection afforded to he wearer.  
Both high positioned lap belts and loose fitting belts could cause serious injuries  
due to sliding under the lap belt during a collision or other unintended event. Keep  
the lap belt positioned s low on hips as possible.  
•
•
•
Do not place the shoulder belt under your arm.  
Belts should not bworn with straps twisted.  
WARNING: Nmodifications or additions should be made by the user which will  
either prevent the seatbelt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or  
prevent the seatbelt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack.

BEFORE DRIVING  
Adjustable components  
CAUTION  
Care and maintenance of seatbelts  
•
•
•
Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Always take care they do  
not get caught or pinched in the seat or doors.  
Inspect the belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts.  
Damaged parts should be replaced. Do not disassemble or modify the system.  
Keep the belts clean and dry. If they need cleaning, use a mild soap solution of  
lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners, or allow them to  
come into contact with the belts as they may severely weaken the belts. For further  
information refer to “Seatbelts” on page 252.  
•
•
Replace the belt assembly (including bolts) if it has been used in a severe impact.  
The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious. To ensure  
correct replacement and operations your Toyota dealer should undertake this  
installation.  
Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and  
chemicals, and particularly battery acid.  
•
•
•
Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap nd water.  
The belt should be replaced if webbing becomerayed, contaminated or damaged.  
Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a  
belt around a child being carried on the occpant’s lap.

Refuelling  
Refuelling  
CAUTION  
When refuelling the vehicle  
Observe the following precautions while refuelling the vehicle. Failure to do so may  
result in death or serious injury.  
•
•
•
After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal  
surface to discharge any static electricity.  
It is important to discharge static electricity before refuelling because sparks  
resulting from static electricity can cause fuel vapours to ignite while refuelling.  
Always hold the grip on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.  
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until the  
sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurised  
fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.  
Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their body to  
come close to an open fuel tank.  
•
•
Do not inhale fuel vapours. Fuel contains substnces that are harmful if inhaled.  
Do not smoke while refuelling the vehicle. Dng so may cause the fuel to ignite  
and cause a fire.  
•
•
Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically charged.  
This may cause static electricity build up, resulting in a possible ignition hazard.  
Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck. If fuel is added with the  
nozzle slightly lifted away from the fuel filler neck, the automatic shut off function  
may not operate, resultig in fuel overflowing from the tank.  
•
Avoid spilling fuel duing refilling; doing so may damage the vehicle. Immediately  
pour water on any illed fuel.  
Use of ethanol blended fuel  
Toyota allows the use of ethanol blended fuel where the ethanol content is up to 10%. For  
details, refer to “Fuel” on page 328.  
FUEL TANK CAP  
When refuelling, turn off the engine and  
close the doors and windows.  
To open the fuel filler door, pull the lever  
up.  
45  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Refuelling  
To remove the fuel tank cap, turn the cap  
slowly counterclockwise, then pause  
slightly before removing it.  
It is not unusual to hear a slight wooshing  
sound when the cap is opened.  
The removed cap can be stored on the back  
side of the fuel filler door.  
When installing the cap, turn the cap  
clockwise until you hear a click; this  
indicates the cap is fully closed.  
CAUTION  
When replacing the fuel cap  
•
•
Make sure the cap is installed securely to prevent fuel spillage when driving.  
Only use a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle. Doing otherwise  
may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or serious injury.  
NOTICE  
To prevent damage to the cap, apply force only in the turning direction to the cap. Do not  
pull or prise it.

SEATBELT PRETENSIONERS  
The driver and front passenger seatbelt  
pretensioners are designed to be activated  
in response to certain types of severe  
frontal collisions.  
When the impact sensor detects a severe  
frontal impact, the front seatbelts are  
quickly drawn back by the retractors so the  
belts snugly restrain the occupants.  
50  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
INFORMATION  
The seatbelt pretensioners do not activate in minor frontal impacts, side impacts or in  
a rear impact or rollover. Depending on the type of collision it is possible that only the  
pretensioners are activated and not the SRS airbags.  
While the seatbelt pretensioners are being activated, an operating noise may be heard  
and a small amount of non-toxic gas may be released. This does not indicate that a fire is  
occurring. This gas is normally harmless.  
CAUTION  
•
•
If the seatbelt pretensioners have been activated, the SRS warning light will  
illuminate and the seatbelt cannot be used again and the seatbelt assemblies must  
be replaced.  
Do not modify, remove, strike or open the seatbelt pretensier assemblies,  
airbag sensor or surrounding area or wiring. Failure to ollow these instructions  
may prevent the seatbelt pretensioners from activating correctly, cause sudden  
operation of the system or disable the system, which could result in death or  
serious injury. Consult your Toyota dealer abouny repair and modification.  
NOTICE  
Do not perform any of the following cnges without consulting your Toyota dealer. Such  
changes can interfere with correct operation of the seatbelt pretensioners in some cases.  
•
Installation of electronic devices such as a mobile two-way radio, cassette tape  
player or compact disc layer.  
•
•
•
•
Repairs on or near the front seatbelt retractor assemblies.  
Modification of the suspension system.  
Modification of the front end structure.  
Attachment of a grille guard (bull bar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snowplough, winches or  
any other equipment to the front end.  
•
Repairs made on or near the front bumper bar, front end structure or console.  
51  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
SRS AIRBAGS  
The SRS airbags are designed to provide further protection for the driver, front passenger  
and rear outside passenger’s in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the  
seatbelts.  
1. SRS driver airbag / front passener airbag–  
Can help protect the head and chest of the driver and front passenger from impact  
with interior components  
2. SRS knee airbag–  
Can help provide diver protection  
3. SRS side airbags–  
Can help protect the torso of the front seat occupants  
4. SRS curtain shield airbags–  
Can help protect primarily the head of occupants in the outer seats  
SRS front airbags  
In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS front airbags (driver, front passenger and  
knee) work with the seatbelts and seatbelt pretensioners to help reduce injury by inflating.  
The front passenger airbag is activated even with no passenger in the front seat.  
The front impact sensors constantly monitor the forward deceleration of the vehicle. If an  
impact results in a forward deceleration beyond the designed threshold level, the system  
triggers the airbag inflators.  
At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators very quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic  
gas to help restrain the forward motion of the occupants.  
52  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
The front airbags then quickly deflate, so there is no obstruction of the driver’s vision  
should it be necessary to continue driving.  
SRS side and curtain shield airbags  
In response to a severe side impact, the SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags work  
with the seatbelts.  
The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag on the passenger side are activated even  
with no passenger in the front seat or rear outside seat. The curtain shield airbags may  
activate even when the side airbags are not activated.  
In a severe side impact, the side impact sensors trigger the side airbag inflators and/or the  
curtain shield airbag inflators on that side of the vehicle.  
At this time a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas  
to help restrain the lateral motion of the occupants.  
When the airbags inflate, they produce a loud noise and release some smoke and residue  
along with non-toxic gas. This does not indicate a fire.  
CAUTION  
•
•
Always wear your seatbelt correctly.  
The SRS front airbag system is designed onto supplement the primary protection  
of the driver and front passenger seatbelt systems.  
•
•
The SRS side airbag and curtain shield irbag system is designed to supplement  
the seatbelt systems of the drivefront passenger and rear outside passenger.  
The driver and front passenger can be killed or seriously injured by the inflating  
airbags or thrown out of the vehicle if they do not wear seatbelts correctly. For  
instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt system refer to “Seatbelts” on  
page 31 and to “Front seats” on page 23.  
•
•
During sudden brng, immediately before a collision, an unrestrained driver or  
front passengr can move forward into direct contact with, or close proximity to,  
the airbag which may then deploy during the collision. This can result in death or  
serious injury.  
No-one should lean against areas from which SRS airbags deploy: the doors, the  
steering wheel, the rear of the driver’s and front passenger seats, rear pillar or roof  
side rail, as sudden inflation of the airbags could cause death or serious injury. For  
locations of the airbags refer to “SRS components” on page 50.  
•
•
•
Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seat  
of the vehicle and correctly restrained.  
Incorrectly seated and/or incorrectly restrained infants and children can be killed or  
seriously injured by the deploying airbags.  
An infant or child who is too small to use a seatbelt must be correctly secured  
using a child restraint system. For instructions concerning the installation of a child  
restraint system, refer to “Child restraint” on page 63.  
53  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
NOTICE  
•
The smoke, residue and non-toxic gas released when airbags inflate may remain  
inside the vehicle for some time, causing some irritation to the eyes, skin or  
breathing.  
•
•
Wash off any residue with soap and water as soon as possible to prevent any  
potential skin irritation.  
If you can safely exit from the vehicle, you should do so immediately.  
SRS front airbag deployment conditions  
The SRS front airbags are designed to deploy in severe (usually frontal) collisions where  
the magnitude and duration of the forward deceleration of the vehicle exceeds the  
designed threshold level.  
The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact is abovthe designed  
threshold level, comparable to an approximate 25 km/h collision when the vehicle has the  
impact straight into a fixed barrier 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 post, which can ove or deform on impact, or if  
the vehicle is involved in an under-ride collision (e.g. ollision in which the front of the  
vehicle under-rides, or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.).  
NOTICE  
•
•
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 seatbelt  
pretensioners may not actiattogether.  
Always wear your seatbelts properly.  
NOTICE  
The SRS front airbags are not generally  
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 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.  
54  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
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.  
SRS side and curtain shield airbag deployment conditions  
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the  
passenger compartment area suffers a severe impact from the side.  
NOTICE  
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield  
airbags are not generally designed to  
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a front  
or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is  
involved in a low-speed side collision.  
The SRS side airbag anurtain shield

SRS AIRBAG PRECAUTIONS  
Deployment of the airbags happens in a fraction of a second, so the airbags must inflate  
with considerable force. The airbags inflate only once.  
While the system is designed to reduce serious injuries, primarily to the head and chest,  
it may also cause other, less severe injuries which can be avoided by following the  
instructions in the following Caution boxes.  
57  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
CAUTION  
General SRS precautions  
•
Deployment of the airbags may cause injuries to the body, particularly to the face,  
chest, arms and hands, usually in the nature of minor burns or abrasions and/or  
swelling.  
•
The force of a deploying airbag can cause more serious injuries, especially if an  
occupant’s hands, arms, chest, head or any other body part is in close proximity to  
the airbag module at the time of deployment.  
•
•
•
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be  
hot for several minutes after deployment of the airbag, so do not touch!  
The windscreen may be damaged by absorbing some of the force of the inflating  
airbag.  
To minimise the risk of serious injury it is important for the occant to:  
–
Avoid placing any object or part of the body between the occupant and the  
airbag module  
–
–
–
Sit straight and well back into the seat  
Wear the available seatbelt correctly  
Sit as far as possible from the airbag module while still maintaining control of  
the vehicle  
•
The driver or front passenger who is o close to the steering wheel or instrument  
panel during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured. Toyota strongly  
recommends that:  
–
The driver sit as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still  
maintaining control of the vehicle  
–
–
The front passengsit as far back as possible from the instrument panel  
All vehicle occupants must be correctly restrained using the available seatbelts  
For instructions and precautions concerning the seating position, refer to “Front  
seats” on page 23.  
•
To avoid death or serious injury you need to comply with the following instructions.  
Failure to follow these instructions may prevent the SRS from activating correctly,  
causing sudden activation of the system or disabling the system:  
–
–
Do not modify or remove any wiring  
Do not modify, remove, strike or open any components such as the steering  
wheel pad, steering wheel column cover, front passenger airbag cover, front  
passenger airbag or airbag sensor assembly  
–
Consult your Toyota dealer about any repair and modification

CAUTION  
Front SRS precautions  
•
Extreme Hazard! Do not use a  
rearward facing child restraint on  
a seat protected by an airbag in  
front of it! The force of the rapid  
inflation of the front passenger  
airbag can cause death or serious  
injury to the childꢀ  
A warning label on the passenger  
side instrument panel as shown,  
and on the driver’s side sun visor  
reminds you not to put a rearward  
facing child restraint system on the  
front passenger seat at anytime.  
•
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or  
lean against the instrument panel  
when the vehicle is in use, since the  
front passenger airbag could inflate  
with considerable speed and force.  
Anyone who is up against, or very  
close to, an airbag when it inflats,  
can be killed or seriously injured.  
Sit up straight and well bain the  
seat, and always use your seatbelt  
correctly.  
•
•
Toyota strongly recommends that  
all infants and children be placed in  
the rear seat of the vehicle and be  
correctly restrained.  
Do not allow a child to stand up or  
kneel on the front passenger seat,  
since the front passenger airbag  
could inflate with considerable  
speed and force. Otherwise, the  
child may be killed or seriously  
injured.  
•
Do not hold a child on your lap or in your arms. Use a child restraint system in the  
rear seat. For instructions concerning the installation of a child restraint system,  
refer to “Child restraint” on page 63.  
59  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
CAUTION  
•
Do not put anything or any part  
of your body on or in front of the  
instrument panel or steering  
wheel pad that houses the front  
airbag system because they might  
restrict inflation or cause death or  
serious injury as they are projected  
rearward by the force of the  
deploying airbags.  
•
The driver and front passenger  
should not hold objects in their  
arms or on their knees.  
•
Vehicles with standard type ignition  
switch–  
Do not attach any heavy, sharp or  
hard objects such as other keys and  
accessories to the key. The objects  
may restrict the SRS knee airbag  
inflation or be thrust into the  
driver’s seat area by the force of the  
deploying airbag causing serious  
injury.  
CAUTION  
Side and curtain shield SRS precautions  
SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags inflate with considerable force. To reduce  
the possibility of death or serious injury when they inflate, the driver, front passenger  
and rear outside passengers must:  
•
•
Wear their seatbelts correctly  
Remain correctly seated with their backs upright and against the seats at all times.  
The following pages contain more specific directions regarding precautions that should  
be taken in relation to the inflation of SRS airbags. Toyota recommends you consider  
these pages carefully.  
60  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
CAUTION  
•
Do not lean against the door when  
the vehicle is in use or place your  
head close to the area where the  
side or curtain shield airbag could  
inflate. These airbags could inflate  
with considerable speed and force  
which could result in death or  
serious injury.  
•
To minimise the risk of death or  
serious injury occurring during the  
inflation of airbags, sit up straight  
and well back in the seat. Ensure  
your weight is distributed evenly  
in the seat. Do not apply excessive  
weight to the outer side of the seats  
with a side airbag, and to the front  
pillar, rear pillar and roof side rail  
with a curtain shield airbag.  
•
Do not kneel on the passenger  
seat facing the passenger’s side  
door. The side airbag and curtai
shield airbag could inflate with  
considerable speed and force which  
may result in death or srious injury.  
•
•
Do not place head or hands out  
of windows. Otherse, death or  
serious injury may result when the  
curtain shield airbags inflate.  
Do not attach any object on or  
around the door or the area where  
the curtain shield airbag activates,  
such as on the windscreen and,  
side door glass, front and rear  
pillars, roof side rail and assist  
grips. Otherwise, the object will be  
thrown with great force when the  
side airbag inflates or, alternatively,  
the side airbag may not activate  
correctly. This may result in death or  
serious injury.  
61  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
CAUTION  
•
•
The driver and front passenger should not hold objects in their arms or on their  
knees in order to avoid death or serious injury when an airbag inflates.  
Do not hook a hanger, heavy or sharp pointed objects on the coat hook. If the  
curtain shield airbag inflates, those items will be projected with great force or the  
curtain shield airbag may not activate correctly, resulting in death or serious injury.  
When you hang clothes, hang them on the coat hook directly.  
•
•
Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the side airbags inflate.  
Such accessories may prevent the side airbags from activating correctly, causing  
death or serious injury.  
Do not modify or replace the seats or upholstery of the seats with side airbags.  
Such changes may prevent the side airbag system from activating correctly, disable  
the system or cause the side airbags to inflate accidentally, resulting in death or  
serious injury.  
•
Do not disassemble or repair the front and rear pillars and roof side rail containing  
the curtain shield airbags. Such changes may disable the system or cause the  
curtain shield airbags to inflate accidentally, resultg in death or serious injury.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in deator serious injury. Consult your  
Toyota dealer about any repair and modification.  
NOTICE

Safety information  
CHILD RESTRAINT  
Child restraint requirements  
NOTICE  
The Australian Road Rules mandate the following age-based requirements for child  
restraint and booster seats.  
•
Children under 6 months must use an approved, properly fastened and adjusted  
rearward facing restraint.  
•
Children aged between 6 months and under 4 years must use an approved,  
properly fastened and adjusted rearward facing child restraint OR a forward facing  
restraint.  
•
Children aged between 4 years and under 7 years must use an approved, properly  
fastened and adjusted forward facing restraint or an approved boosted seat which  
is properly positioned and fastened.  
•
•
If a car has two or more rows of seats, children under 4 years must not travel in  
the front seat.  
If all seats, other than the front seats, are beig used by children under 7 years,  
children aged between four and six years (inclusive) may travel in the front seat,  
provided they use an approved restraint or booster seat that is properly fitted.  
Child restraint precautions  
Toyota strongly recommends the use child restraints that meet Australian Standard  
AS1754-2010 or later.  
If a child is too large for a child rtraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and  
must be restrained using the vehicle’s seatbelt. Refer to “Seatbelts” on page 31.  
CAUTION  
•
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must  
be correctly restrained, using a seatbelt 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 windscreen,  
or between you and the vehicle’s interior.  
•
•
•
Toyota strongly recommends the use of a correct child restraint system which  
conforms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident  
statistics, the child is safer when correctly restrained in the rear seat than in the  
front seat.  
Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat. 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.  
Australian law requires the use of an upper anchor strap on child restraint systems.  
63  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
CAUTION  
•
•
On vehicles with side airbags and curtain shield airbags, 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 or rear pillar or roof side rail from which the side airbags or curtain  
shield airbags deploy even if the child is seated in the child restraint system. It is  
dangerous if the side airbag and/or curtain shield airbag 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 the system is correctly secured. If it is not secured  
correctly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden  
stop or accident.  
When children are in the vehicle  
•
Do not allow children to play with the seatbelt. If the seatbelt 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 securen the seat even if it is not in use.  
Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger compartment.  
•
If it is necessary to detach the child restrainsystem, remove it from the vehicle  
or store it securely in the boot. This will prevent it from injuring passengers in the  
event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.  
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM  
A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be correctly restrained on  
the seat with the lap portion f the lap/shoulder belt. You must carefully consult the  
manufacturer’s instructios which accompany the child restraint system.  
To provide correct restraint, use a child restraint system following the manufacturer’s  
instructions about the appropriate age and size of the child for the child restraint system.  
Install the child restraint system correctly following the instructions provided by its  
manufacturer. General directions are also provided under the following illustrations.  
The child restraint system should be installed on the rear seat. According to accident  
statistics, the child is safer when correctly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.  
When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seatbelt or place it in  
the boot or somewhere other than the passenger compartment. This will prevent it from  
injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident.  
Types of seatbelts  
Your Toyota is fitted with two types of seatbelts:  
•
ELR (Emergency locking retractor)–  
This belt locks when the belt is pulled out quickly and is fitted to the front seats.  
64  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
•
ELR / ALR (Emergency locking retractor / Automatic locking retractor)–  
This belt also locks when the belt is pulled out quickly. In addition, it has a fully  
extended lock mode. When the belt is completely extended and is then retracted even  
slightly, the retractor locks the belt in that position and the belt cannot be extended.  
The rear seatbelts in your Toyota are ELR / ALR type seatbelts. When installing a child  
restraint, fully extend the belt to place it in the lock mode.  
Fasten the belt around the child restraint according to the manufacturer’s directions and  
then allow the seatbelt to retract until the restraint is securely in place. The belt will be  
locked in position and cannot be extended.  
To unlock the seatbelt, unbuckle it and allow it to fully retract.  
Child restraint anchor fittings  
For easy installation of child restraints,  
your vehicle has three child restraint  
anchor fittings.  
When installing a child restraint, follow  
both the instructions here and those  
provided by the manufacturer of your child  
restraint.  
CAUTION  
Warning  
Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only those loads imposed by  
correctly fitted child restraints. Under no circumstances are they to be used for adult  
seatbelts, harnesses or for attaching other items or equipment to the vehicle.  
To use the child restraint anchor fitting  
Fix the child restraint system with the seatbelt according to the manufacturer’s directions  
and in “Types of seatbelts” as previously described.  
1. Open the lid of the anchor fitting.  
2. Attach the child restraint anchor  
attaching clip to the child restraint  
anchor fitting.  
Make sure the clip is securely  
attached.  
3. Tighten the upper anchorage strap.  
Close the cover when the child restraint  
anchor fitting is not in use.  
65  
BEFORE DRIVING  
Safety information  
CAUTION  
Make sure the upper anchor strap is securely attached, and check the child restraint  
system is secure by pushing and pulling it in different directions.  
Follow all the installation instructions provided by its manufacturer.  
FLOOR MAT  
CAUTION  
Before driving the vehicle  
•
Check the floor mat is securely fixed  
in the correct place with all the  
provided retaining hooks (clips).  
Be especially careful to perform this  
check after cleaning the floor.  
•
With the engine stopped and  
the shift lever in P position, fully  
depress each pedal to the floor to  
make sure it does not interfere with  
the floor mat.
