Main Owner’s Manual  
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equip-  
ment, 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

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustration 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 vehi-  
cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does  
not warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance,  
repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse

tial multiport fuel injection system, electronic throttle control system, cruise  
control system, vehicle stability control system, SRS airbag system and seat  
belt pretensioner system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for pre-  
cautionary measures or special instructions regarding installation.  
Scrapping of your Toyota

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.

trol batteries.

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 will hurt or kill you,  
your occupants or others.  
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 precautions 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.
