For your information

Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equip-

ment, including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for

equipment not installed on your vehicle.

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.

However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we

reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustration may differ

from your vehicle in terms of equipment.

Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine

Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound

coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel

evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota vehi-

cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does

not warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance,

repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse

effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products. Mod-

ification with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance,

safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi-

tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may

not be covered under warranty.

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could

affect electronic systems such as the multiport fuel injection system/sequen-

tial multiport fuel injection system, electronic throttle control system, cruise

control system, vehicle stability control system, SRS airbag system and seat

belt pretensioner system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for pre-

cautionary measures or special instructions regarding installation.

Information Provided by:

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain

explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt

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 a qualified service shop or by your Toyota

dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply,

See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo-

nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con-

trol batteries.

Information Provided by:

Vehicle control and operation data recording

Your Toyota is equipped with sophisticated computers that record certain

information about your vehicle’s operation, such as:

• Engine speed

• Accelerator status

• Brake status

• Vehicle speed

• Shift position

The data recorded varies according to the grade level and options the vehi-

cle is equipped with. The computers do not record conversations, sound or

pictures.

●Data usage

Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc-

tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.

Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:

• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if

the vehicle is leased

• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern-

ment agency

• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or

vehicle owner

Information Provided by:

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. The EDR is designed

to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short

period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-

tened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake

pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.

These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in

which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ-

ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi-

tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are

recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine

the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired

during a crash investigation.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access

to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,

other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can

read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Information Provided by:

●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

• Officially requested by the police or other authorities

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit

• Ordered by a court of law

However, if necessary, Toyota will:

• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance

• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing

information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

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 will hurt or kill you,

your occupants or others.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other

drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-

tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or

reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,

your occupants or others.

■General precautions regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to

have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.

There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with

the cigarette lighter, the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the

vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the

vehicle can be fatal to children.
