Important information about your Toyota
Hybrid system on your vehicle
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics dif-
ferent from other conventional vehicles. You must under-
stand the characteristics of your vehicle very well and han-
dle it carefully. Read this manual and follow the instruc-
tions. Section 1−1 explains the characteristics of the hy-
brid system.
'07 HIGHLANDER HV_U (L/O 0608)
Occupant restraint systems
Toyota encourages you and your family to take the time to
read Section 1−3 of this Owner's Manual carefully. In
terms of helping you understand how you can receive the
maximum benefit of the occupant restraint systems this
vehicle provides, Section 1−3 of this Owner's Manual is
the most important Section for you and your family to
read.
Section 1−3 describes the function and operation concern-
ing seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint sys-
tems of this vehicle and some potential hazards you
should be aware of. These systems work together along
with the overall structure of this vehicle in order to provide
occupant restraint in the event of a crash. The effect of
each system can be enhanced when it is used properly
and together with other systems. No single occupant re-
straint system can, by itself, provide you or your family
with the equal level of restraint which these systems can
provide when used together. That is why it is important for
you and your family to understand the purpose and proper
use of each of these systems and how they relate to each
other.
