Page 40 An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys- tem. Toyota strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat.
Page 41 1-1. For safe use WARNING ■ SRS airbag precautions ● Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger. ● Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold items on their knees.
Page 42 If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Toyota dealer. ● Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.
Page 43 Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without consulting your Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
Page 44 1-1.

Page 45 1-1. For safe use ■ Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision The SRS front airbags and SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
Page 46 1-1. For safe use ■ Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.

Page 180 ● Speed limits for towing a trailer vary by state or province. Do not exceed the posted towing speed limit. ● Toyota recommends that the vehicle-trailer speed limit is 65 mph (104 km/h) on a flat, straight, dry road. Do not exceed this limit, the posted towing speed limit or the speed limit for your trailer as set forth in your trailer owner’s manual, whichever is lowest.
Page 181 4-1. Before driving ● As stopping distance is increased when towing a trailer, vehicle-to vehicle distance should be increased. For each 10 mph (16 km/h) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length. ● Avoid sudden braking as you may skid, resulting in the trailer jack- knifing and a loss of vehicle control.
Page 182 4-1. Before driving ● Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may over- heat on hot days (at temperatures over 85F [30C]) when driving up a long or steep grade. If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air conditioning (if in use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot.

Using the driving support systems  Dynamic radar cruise control Summary of functions In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically accelerates and decelerates to match the speed changes of the pre- ceding vehicle even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed. In con- stant speed control mode, the vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Page 253 4-5. Using the driving support systems WARNING ■ Before using dynamic radar cruise control Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your sur- roundings.
Page 254 4-5. Using the driving support systems WARNING ■ Situations unsuitable for dynamic radar cruise control Do not use dynamic radar cruise control in any of the following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an acci- dent resulting in death or serious injury.
Page 255 4-5. Using the driving support systems Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suit- able following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Page 256 4-5. Using the driving support systems Setting the vehicle speed (vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode) Press the “ON-OFF” button to activate the cruise control.

4-6. Driving tips Hybrid vehicle driving tips For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol- lowing points: ◆ Using Eco drive mode When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel- erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is in normal conditions.
Page 303 4-6. Driving tips ◆ When braking Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slow- ing down. ◆ Delays Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Page 304 4-6. Driving tips ◆ Luggage Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carry- ing unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause poor fuel economy. ◆ Warming up before driving Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary.

If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
Page 501: Wheels
● Used wheels ● Bent wheels that have been straightened Aluminum wheel precautions ● Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your aluminum wheels. ● When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
Page 502 7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance ■ When replacing wheels (vehicles with the tire pressure warning sys- tem) The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and trans- mitters must be installed.
