In this case, contact your Toyota dealer immediately. Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seatbacks.
Page 120: Child Restraint Systems
1-7. Safety information Child restraint systems A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop- erly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of child restraint systems.
Page 121 1-7. Safety information Forward facing — Convertible seat Booster seat Selecting an appropriate child restraint system Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. If a child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicle’s seat belt.
Page 122 In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle's interior. Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con- forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to acci- dent statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
Page 123 1-7. Safety information CAUTION Child restraint precautions Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured. If it is not secured properly, it may cause death or serious injury to the child in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
Page 124: Installing Child Restraints
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 130 1-7. Safety information Child restraint systems with a top tether strap Secure the child restraint using a seat belt or lower anchors, and remove the head restraint. Raise the anchor bracket, latch the hook onto the anchor bracket and tighten the top tether strap. Make sure the top tether strap is securely latched.
Page 131 1-7. Safety information When the anchor bracket is not in use Lower the anchor bracket. The anchor bracket is only designed to secure the top tether strap. Do not use the anchor bracket for any other pur- pose. CAUTION When installing a booster seat Do not fully extend the shoulder belt to prevent the belt from going to ALR lock mode.
Page 132 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 or an accident.
Page 133 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 a colli- sion.

2-4. Using other driving systems Rear differential lock system (if equipped) The rear differential lock system is provided for use only when wheel spinning occurs in a ditch or on a slippery or rugged surface. The rear differential lock system is effective in case one of the rear wheels is spinning.
Page 193 2-4. Using other driving systems Manual transmission Before using the rear differential lock system. Stop the vehicle or reduce your speed to less than 5 mph (8 km/h). Depress the clutch pedal and shift the four-wheel drive control lever into LL to see if this is sufficient. If this has no effect, additionally use the rear differential lock system.
Page 194 2-4. Using other driving systems CAUTION To avoid an accident Do not use the rear differential lock system except when wheel spinning occurs in a ditch or on a slippery or ragged surface. Large steering effort and careful cornering control will be required. Do not lock the rear differential until the wheels have stopped spinning.

Page 212 NOTICE Repairing or replacing snow tires Request repairs of and obtain replacement snow tires from Toyota dealers or legitimate tire retailers. This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the opera- tion of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
Page 213: Trailer Towing
For your safety and the safety of others, do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Toyota warranties do not apply to damage or malfunction caused by towing a trailer for commercial purposes. Weight limits Confirm the total trailer weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue load are all within the limits.
Page 214 Total trailer weight Tongue load Towing a trailer Consult your Toyota dealer for further information about additional requirements such as a towing kits, etc. Hitch and tow hitch receiver Hitch Trailer hitch assemblies have different weight capacities estab- lished by the hitch manufacturer.
Page 215 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 216 Break-in schedule Toyota recommends that you do not use a new vehicle or a vehicle with any new power train components (engine, transmission, differential, wheel bearings, etc.) to tow a trailer for the first 500 miles (800 km) of driving.
Page 217 The tow hitch receiver installed on your vehicle must never be used on another vehicle. Hitches If you wish to install a trailer hitch, your Toyota dealer should be consulted. Use only a hitch that conforms to the total trailer weight requirement. Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.
Page 218 NOTICE When installing a trailer hitch Use only the position recommended by your Toyota dealer. Do not install the trailer hitch on the bumper; this may cause body damage. Brakes Toyota recommends trailers with brakes that conform to any applicable fed- eral and state/provincial regulations.
Page 219 2-5. Driving information Trailer towing tips Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. The three main causes of vehicle-trailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed and improper trailer loading. Keep these in mind when towing. l Before starting out, check the trailer’s light and the vehicle-trailer connections.
Page 220 2-5. Driving information l Note that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Compensate by making a larger than normal turning radius. l Crosswinds and rough roads will adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing sway.
Page 221 2-5. Driving information l Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle and the trailer wheels when parking. Apply the parking brake firmly, and put the transmission in P (automatic transmission) or in 1 or R (manual transmission). Avoid parking on a slope, but if unavoidable, do so only after performing the following: Apply the brakes and keep them applied.
Page 222 2-5. Driving information CAUTION To avoid an accident Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) or posted towing speed limit, whichever is lower. As instability (swaying) of the towing vehicle-trailer combination increases as speed increases, exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h) may cause loss of control.

Page 339 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: Check only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
Page 340 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance NOTICE When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps. Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve and cause air leakage, which could result in an accident. If the caps have been lost, replace them as soon as possible.
