Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota  
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota  
vehicles are currently available on the market. You should know that these  
parts are not covered by Toyota warranty and that Toyota is not responsible  
for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may

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 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, or other features of the vehicle. In addi-  
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be  
fatal to children.
