WARNING

■If a safety system warning light does not come on

Should a safety system light such as ABS and SRS airbag warning light not

come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are

not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death

or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional

immediately if this occurs.

WARNING

■The information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the display. At

extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may respond slowly, and

display changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear

number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-

shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an

accident resulting in death or injury.

■Cautions during setting up the display

As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that

the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area

such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)

may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious

health hazard.
