same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow-  
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic  
shielding.  
Scrapping 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 profes-  
sional, before you scrap your vehicle.

CAUTION  
General precautions while driving  
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-  
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-  
cle. 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 dis-  
tracts 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, 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.

cables and their connectors are touched. In the event of that your vehicle  
must be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of any authorized  
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-  
sional. If the hybrid battery is not disposed of properly, they may cause elec-  
tric shock that can result in death or serious injury.
