Important information about your Toyota

Passenger Restraint Systems

Toyota asks you and your family to take the time to thoroughly read

Chapters 1-3 of this Owner's Manual. Chapters 1-3 in this Owner's Manual

are the most important chapters for you and your family to read in order to

understand how to get the most out of the passenger restraint systems this

vehicle provides.

Chapters 1-3 describe the functions and controls related to the seats, seat

belts, SRS airbags and child restraint systems of this vehicle and some

potential hazards that you should be warned about.

These systems work together with the overall structure of this vehicle to

provide occupant protection in the event of a crash. The effect of each

system is magnified when used correctly and in conjunction with other

systems. No single passenger restraint system can provide you or your

family with the same level of safety that these systems provide when used

together. This is why it is important that you and your family understand

the purpose and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate

to each other.

The purpose of all passenger restraint systems is to help reduce the

possibility of death or serious injury in the event of an accident. None of

these systems, alone or together, can ensure that no one will be injured in

the event of an accident. However, the more you know about these systems

and how to use them properly, the better your chances of surviving an

accident without being killed or seriously injured.

Seat belts provide primary restraint for all vehicle occupants, and each vehicle

occupant should be properly restrained by a seat belt at all times. Children

should always be restrained in child restraint systems that are appropriate for

their age and size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as

their name suggests, designed to work with seat belts and as their

complement and not their replacement. SRS airbags can be very effective in

reducing the risk of head, chest and knee injuries by preventing the head,

chest and knees from coming into contact with the interior of the vehicle.

SRS airbags must inflate with considerable force to be effective. Rapid

inflation of the SRS airbags makes the SRS airbags themselves potential

sources of serious injury if the occupant is too close to the airbag, or if an

object or body part is between the occupant and the airbag at the time the

airbag inflates. This is one example of how the instructions in Chapters 1-3 of

this Owner's Manual can help ensure the correct use of passenger restraint

systems and increase the safety they can provide you and your family in the

event of an accident.

Toyota recommends that you thoroughly read the instructions in Chapters 1-3

and refer to them as needed during the ownership of the vehicle.

Accessories, spare parts and

modifications for your Toyota

Both genuine Toyota spare parts and a large number of other spare parts and accessories for

Toyota cars are available on the market. If it is determined that any of the original Toyota parts

or accessories supplied with the vehicle need to be replaced, Toyota recommends that you

use genuine Toyota parts or accessories for the replacement. Other parts or accessories of

the same quality may also be used. Toyota cannot assume any responsibility or warranty for

parts and accessories that are not genuine Toyota products, or for the replacement or

installation of such parts.

In addition, damage or performance problems caused by the use of non-genuine Toyota parts

are not covered by the warranty.

Installation of a mobile radio system

Because installing a mobile radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such

as multi-point fuel injection system/sequential multi-point fuel injection system, electronic

throttle control system, electronic engine control system, cruise control system, anti-lock

braking system, anti-skid system, vehicle stability control system, SRS airbag system, and seat

belt pre-tensioner system, consult your authorized Toyota dealer or service center, or other

properly qualified and equipped professional, for safety precautions or special instructions for

installing such equipment.

Maintenance plan

The maintenance schedule can be found in the manual "Toyota Service Book" or "Toyota

Warranty Book".

Disposal of your Toyota

The SRS airbags and front seat belt pre-tensioners in your vehicle contain explosive

chemicals. If there are airbags and pretensioners

left in the vehicle when it is disposed of, may cause an accident such as a fire. Therefore,

before disposing of the vehicle, ensure that the SRS airbag and seat belt pre-tensioner

systems are removed from the vehicle and disposed of by a qualified workshop or

authorized Toyota dealer or workshop, or another properly qualified and equipped

specialist.
