Scrapping of your Toyota  
The SRS airbag and seat belt pre-  
tensioner devices in your Toyota  
contain explosive chemicals. If the  
vehicle is scrapped with the airbags  
and 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 the qualified service shop or  
by your Toyota dealer before you  
dispose of your vehicle.  
Users of any electrical medical de-  
vices such as implanted pacemak-  
ers should consult the manufactur-  
er of the device for information  
about its operation under the influ-  
ence of radio waves. Radio waves  
could have unexpected effects on  
the operation of such medical de-  
vices. For details, see “Keys” on  
page 20 and “Smart entry and  
start system” on page 24 in Sec-  
tion 21.  
Underinflated or overinflated  
tire inflation pressure and the  
excess load may result in the  
deterioration of steering ability  
and braking ability, leading to  
an accident. Check the tire  
inflation pressure periodically  
and be sure to keep the load  
limits given in this Owner’s  
Manual. For details about tire  
inflation pressure and load lim-  
its, see page 405 and pages  
342.

AUTION  
When your vehicle or bat-  
tery needs to be disposed  
of, be sure to consult your  
Toyota dealer. Hybrid bat-  
teries must be collected  
through Toyota dealers. If  
your vehicle is disposed  
of without dismantling,  
someone could receive an  
electric shock by touching  
the high voltage parts of  
the hybrid battery. If the  
battery is not disposed of  
properly, its contents can  
cause death or serious in-  
jury.
