Page 5 Event data recorder This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur- pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed.
Page 6 ● Disclosure of the EDR data Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when: • An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is obtained • In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern- ment agency •...
Page 7 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 could result in death or serious injury.
Page 8 This is a warning against anything which may cause damage to the vehicle or its equipment if the warning is ignored. You are informed about what you must or must not do in order to avoid or reduce the risk of damage to your Toyota and its equipment.

The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts ● properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
Page 108 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 the safest for infants and children.
Page 109 1-7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions ■ Do not sit on the edge of the seat or ● lean against the dashboard. 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.
Page 110 1-7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions ■ Do not attach anything to or lean any- ● thing against areas such as the dash- board or steering wheel pad or lower portion of the instrument panel. These items can become projectiles when SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags deploy.
Page 111 Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation. If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel ● pad and front, center and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your Toyota dealer. VENZA_OM_OM73010U_(U)

Page 123 1-7. Safety information CAUTION Child restraint precautions ■ Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system ● on the front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or seri- ous injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or an accident.
Page 124 1-7. Safety information CAUTION When the child restraint system is not in use ■ Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is ● not in use. Do not store the restraint unsecured in the passenger compart- ment.
Page 125 1-7. Safety information Installing child restraints Follow the child restraint system manufacturer’s instructions. Firmly secure child restraints to the rear seats using the LATCH anchors or a seat belt. Attach the top tether strap when installing a child restraint. The lap/shoulder belt can be used if your child restraint system is not compatible with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Chil- dren) system.

Page 136 1-7. Safety information CAUTION When installing a child restraint system ■ Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual and fix the child restraint system securely in place. If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Page 137 1-7. Safety information CAUTION When installing a child restraint system ■ When installing a child restraint system in the rear center seat, adjust both ● seatbacks at the same angle. Otherwise, the child restraint system cannot be securely restrained and this may cause death or serious injuries in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Page 138 1-7. Safety information CAUTION Do not use a seat belt extender ■ If a seat belt extender is used when installing a child restraint system, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of sud- den braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

Page 246 2-5. Driving information Selecting trailer ball Use the correct trailer ball for your application. Trailer ball load rating Matches or exceeds the gross trailer weight rating of the trailer. Ball diameter Matches the size of the trailer coupler. Most couplers stamped with the required trailer ball size.
Page 247 2-5. Driving information Positions for towing hitch receiver and hitch ball Weight carrying ball position: 46.5 in. (1180 mm) Hitch receiver pin hole posi- tion: 39.2 in.

Page 248 ● 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 249 2-5. Driving information ● 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 250 2-5. Driving information ● Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the brakes too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced braking efficiency. ● Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may overheat on hot days (at temperatures over 85°F [30°C]) when driving up a long or steep grade.
Page 251 2-5. Driving information ● When restarting after parking on a slope: With the transmission in P, start the engine. Be sure to keep STEP the brake pedal pressed. Shift into a forward gear. If reversing, shift into R. STEP Release the parking brake and brake pedal, and slowly pull or STEP back away from the wheel blocks.
Page 252 ■ If your vehicle is new or equipped with any new power train components (such as an engine, transmission, differential or wheel bearing), Toyota rec- ommends that you do not tow a trailer until the vehicle has been driven for over 500 miles (800 km).
Page 253 2-5. Driving information Maintenance ■ If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance ● due to the additional load. (See “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.) Retighten the fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approxi- ●...
Page 254 2-5. Driving information CAUTION Trailer towing precautions ■ To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in accordance with the trailer’s characteristics and operating conditions. Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. Vehicle stability and braking performance are affected by trailer stability, brake setting and performance, and the hitch.
Page 255 2-5. Driving information CAUTION To avoid accident or injury ■ Do not use cruise control when towing. ● Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill ● grades. Do not make sudden downshifts while descending steep or long downhill grades.
